Cedar Ridge “The Untitled Cigar Malt Project”

Cedar Ridge

Country: USA

Region: Iowa

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 57.45%

Score: 93 Points

Master distiller Murphy Quint wanted to make a whisky that reminds one of a fine cigar, and the nose on this whiskey is malty with brown sugar, tobacco leaf, figs, dates, honey, and subtle spices. The spices come alive on the palate with black pepper, chili powder, brown sugar, figs, and dates for a thick and chewy mouthfeel. The finish is long and dry with lingering spices. (August, 2024)
