3+ The Whiskey Wash

Appearance: This liquid is a clear, pale gold with fine particulates. Nose: Cereal sweetness wafts up from the glass, taking shape as white flowers, overripe pear, and straw. The inner coil of a cinnamon roll comes through. Book glue lingers in the background. Palate: The attack is simple-syrup sweet, stretching to a mid-palate of, well, malt: toast with a few spots of burn. This whiskey is uncomplicated and clean, finishing with ripe peach. Summary Final thoughts: I'm not really sure how this bottle ended up in front of me, but it's OK that that it is. The whiskey is decent. Given the variation in American single malt, I'll take it. Secrets and all.
