McMenamins Billy Wheat Whiskey
87 proof 4 years Wheat Whiskey Cornelis Pass Roadhouse Distillery Hillsboro, OR $35
Nose

Very sweet upfront with banana and Foster's ester notes, floral notes typical of wheat, subtle spice, light hint of menthol or mint, slight medicinal or cough drop quality.

Palate

Soft and sweet with banana taffy character, light spice and clove notes, whorehound candy impression, watery mouthfeel at 87 proof, hint of salt water note, medium to long finish for a wheat whiskey.

Finish

Medium to long finish with lingering sweetness and a little bit of zing from the spice and mint notes.

Respectable
A solid local wheat whiskey that serves as an excellent summer sipper with pleasant sweetness and character, though the lower proof leaves it a bit watery.
