Day 12 of 24 Days of Whisk(e)y. I drank this and took notes last night, but then was busy and didn't get a chance to write up the review.
Trying another Bull Run offering, this time a 7 Year Single Malt Whiskey, then finished in Cognac casks for 13 months, 59.98% ABV. This one does say 'Distilled by...' on the back, the 13 Year did not, meaning it was most likely sourced.
On the nose I get mint, a black tea note that's a bit funky (similar to other Oregon Single Malts), cherry, and some sweet fruit. The taste, I get the malt, tea, some spice and a low level sweetness. The finish I get that funk coming back. With water things are very similar. for nearly 60% ABV this doesn't really drink that hot, but the water does tame it down a bit.
Overall this is good and fairly unique, but I do think the 13 Year I had the other day was better. Rated 3.25 / 5.0
