Pour Number One
Barrel Strength American Whiskey
Nose
Light amber color with nuttiness and oak notes; some detect wet hay and earthy/farm-like characteristics with a bit of ethanol on the nose.
Palate
Sweet entry with cherry and hazelnut notes, some oak presence, and spicy heat; smooth but not particularly complex.
Finish
Short finish that falls off quickly; a little drying on the back with a good hug but minimal length.
Overall Score
3 / 5
A smooth but somewhat simple barrel-strength whiskey with a short finish that fails to impress despite decent palate entry.
