Firestone & Robertson Blended Whiskey

Country: USA

Region:

Type: American Whiskey

Bottler: Firestone & Robertson

ABV: 41%

Score: 68 Points

This blended whiskey has heavy vanilla on the nose, along with allspice, roasted almonds, toasted oak, and brown sugar. The taste starts off overly vanilla at first, with a harsh hit of cinnamon and black pepper, then fades to reveal honey, brown sugar, and a hint of almond. The finish is too long with a drab melange of cinnamon, honey, brown sugar, almond, and molasses notes — nothing stands out, but all are apparent.
