Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This is a limited-edition American Single Malt only available for now at High West’s distillery shops in Park City and Wanship, Utah, though there are plans to release it more widely in the future. It’s a 2-year-old whisky made with three different malt mashbills of varying peat and roast levels, while the maturation comes from a combination of virgin Oak, ex-Bourbon and Rye barrels, and Port wine casks.
The nose is woody with hints of mesquite seasoning and oak, toasted vanilla, and butterscotch. The taste is well-rounded with barrel sugar maltiness, subtle touches of clove and white pepper, vanilla, and a soft oakiness. The finish is long and smooth with lingering spices, vanilla, and touches of oak, mesquite, and campfire smoke. (February, 2020)
