9 The Whiskey Wash

Appearance: It’s a rich golden-amber day in the glass, showcasing well-developed legs and proper viscosity. Nose: Right off the bat, I get that yummy wheat and a slight whiff of oak, delivering baked bread notes alongside cherry, brown sugar, vanilla, and some gingerbread. Palate: This comes at meet hot and fresh out of the oven, delivering intensity and a desire for a fresh, warm loaf of sweet bread. Vanilla, baked spice, brown sugar, maple syrup, a slight bump of oak, bright, sweet cherry, and applesauce are showcased here. Finish: Long and desirable is this finish, giving me nice heat and sweet bread notes as it slowly but intensely fades. As this is cask strength, try it with a single cube to cool it if needed. Comments: Heaven Hill’s uncut variants of its different American whiskey offerings consistently deliver quality and flavorful enjoyment. Larceny Barrel Proof Batch A124 extends this trend with ease.... 9 points out of 10
