Aged for a minimum of 2 years in new charred oak casks the bottle proudly states.
And proud they should be. Rare for being an american single-malt, this whiskey is full of character. Raw cane sugar, vanilla, thumping oak, pecan pie, brandy cream, unmistakable barley.
Long sweet, nutty finish.
Probably the best ‘merkin whisk(e)y I’ve tried.
4/5.
An enigma tonight, an American single-malt.
This is whisk(e)y pot-distilled at the Edgefield distillery in Troutdale, Oregon.
Apart from that, I don’t know anything about it!
I suspect it’s been matured in a new oak barrel, such is the strength of vanilla and oak. Sweet and slightly spicy, caramel (maybe slightly burnt) and rum-soaked raisins.
Disappointingly short finish but apart from that it’s really lovely.
3/5
