Review and Tasting

Sampled on 14/04/2019

Appearance:

Clear, golden amber.

Aroma:

Pineapple kombucha, cigar leaf, vanilla fudge, ripe peach, banana chews, clean plastic box, cinnamon, clove and white pepper spice. Faint menthol, aniseed and struck match with water.

Taste:

Dry toasty oak tannins, cigar leaf and not quite ripe pineapple with black pepper, clove and cinnamon spice. Water releases vanilla, peach and chamois leather.

Aftertaste:

Dry toasty oak, charcoal, vanilla, and light black pepper spice.

Overall:

Big and chewy, this 100 proof Tennessee whiskey benefits from a splash of water. Pleasingly fruity with dry oak tannins mellowed by vanilla and ripe peach.
