24 Days of Whisk(e)y... day 18!. What do we have?
On the nose, I get butterscotch, some toffee, Butterscotch, some orange, Butterscotch, a little minty, butterscotch, and some brown sugar. Did I mention the BUTTERSCOTCH!?!
The taste, yes, butterscotch, but I also get some dark chocolate cherry, some hot pepper, this is really quite interesting, and I can't quite figure it out. It tastes Irish-ish... but because we've had all 4 Irish Whiskies this year, I know it's not Irish. My second guess was Scotch - because that can sometimes be interesting. What was it?
Turns out, American Single Malt - the chameleon, it can be whatever you feel like. And today... it feels like butterscotch (:This comes from Wanderback Whiskey, located in Hood River, OR. This was in partnership with Balcones in Texas. 100% Malted Barley, 52% ABV, aged a minimum of 3 Years.
I did try this with some water, and it was more sweet on the nose, less pepper on the finish - maybe a little more enjoyable. The more I drank this, the more I enjoyed it. By the end, I thought it was pretty darn good - 3.75/5.0 - cheers!!!
