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 whiskey takes Woodinville’s Double Barrel whiskey that starts out in new charred oak barrels, followed by time in used oak – and then kicks things up a notch by finishing it in a third type of barrel: one that was previously used to mature one of Islay’s peatiest single malts. While it doesn’t say so on the label, the fact that Woodinville is part of the Glenmorangie/Ardbeg family is a pretty good clue where those barrels came from.
The nose has notes of baked apples, a kiss of smoke, toasted caramel, and a hint of tobacco. The taste has good spices along with a slightly smoky and ashy character complemented by touches of tobacco, toasted caramel, and honey. The finish is long and smoky with a touch of ashiness and burnt caramel. (August, 2o20)
