Review: This single barrel was picked by Trail Head Liquor in Bend Oregon which is one of my favorite liquor stores. The dark roasted notes in this whiskey are nicely balanced by the sweetness from the malt. The proof is high but is rich and easy drinking, in my opinion. If you are a fan of dark, rich malts, this may be the whiskey for you. Cheers!
My Rating: Stock it!
Ratings Scale:
-Spit: Don’t bother with this one. If a friend gives you a dram of it, are they even your friend?
-Shoot: Good enough to get you drunk
-Sip: Tasty enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks.
-Stock: I’d recommend keeping a bottle on hand.
