Roughstock Montana Whiskey
Country: USA
Region: Montana
Type: Bourbon
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 45%
Score: 79 Points
The score for this initial release is low, but Roughstock shows promise for the future with more aging. It’s made from 100% Montana-grown barley, and carries no age statement, but is probably around 2 years old. The nose is malty and fiery with notes of licorice, vanilla, and toasted oak. The taste is young and fiery with notes of chili powder and black pepper that fade to reveal caramel, vanilla, and dark chocolate. The finish is spicy and slightly ashy.
