Country: USA

Alcohol: 52.6%

Amber color. Aromas of cinnamon dusted vanilla ice cream and a fresh waffle cone, artificial vanilla and tonka bean, coconut butter, and banana chips and yellow curry powder with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length waffle and honey nut granola, cinnamon and pepper, oatmeal paste and glue, and mint chocolate ice cream finish. An interesting Whiskey with a range of complex flavors led by cinnamon and caramel stroopwaffel; the higher proof should lend itself well to cocktail applications.

About

American Straight Whiskey

An American straight whiskey is one that less than 160 proof (80% ABV) from a fermented mash of at least 51% corn, rye, malted barley, wheat or malted rye and has been age for at least two years in charred oak barrels. Straight whiskies may be produced from a blend of straight whiskies produced in the same state. Offering a coper or amber color and displaying notes of caramel, toffee and baking spices among others, these are generally used for mixing with soda or tonic or used in cocktails.
