Saw this at a local gastropub while celebrating my birthday. My wonderful girlfriend bought me a pour of this to celebrate.
It’s one of the more unique corn whiskeys I’ve tried. Ironroot is always experimenting with corn mashbills, and they make some of the best corn whiskeys in Texas.
This one is full of body. It’s sweet, oaky, and has some peat to balance the flavors. I find stonefruits and berries on nose and taste. The peat is there too, but it’s mixed in with a strong oak/tannic taste that I like. On the finish, I get some of that corn dust. A few drops of water brought out more of the sweetness in this dram.
This is certainly a unique Texas whiskeys, and I really enjoyed it! I’ll have to stop by the distillery and grab a bottle soon.
