Gypsy Spirits The Declaration (Legacy Batch 003)
115.74 proof NAS Blended Whiskey Gypsy Spirits Bardstown, KY $199.99 60% 8-12yr 95/5 rye, 30% 20-25yr Canadian corn whiskey, 10% 8yr American single malt
Nose

Fresh and well-balanced for the proof. Subtle sweetness from the corn whiskey component, hint of mint from the rye, malt depth from the single malt. No aggressive ethanol burn despite 115+ proof.

Palate

Depth and complexity with significant barrel character on the mid-palate. Mexican chocolate and white pepper notes emerge. Sweetness increases on repeated sips. Rich and layered with the corn whiskey contributing caramel depth and richness. The rye becomes more prominent on the second sip with citrus notes.

Finish

Long and sticky. The white pepper and chocolate notes persist. The spice character lingers on the back of the palate.

Top notch
A sophisticated and well-composed blended whiskey that rewards multiple sips with evolving flavors, impressive proof management, and a genuinely unique flavor profile.
