Deerhammer Down Time

Country: USA

Region: Colorado

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 44%

Score: 83 Points

This Single Malt from the Rocky Mountains west of Colorado Springs has a nose of caramel apples, toasted oak, honey, and hints of dried orange peel. The taste starts off tart and dry with a cinnamon wave that comes in along with hints of orange pekoe tea with honey that linger through the finish as the spices fades. Not bad for a very young whisky, and shows promise for the future.
