Montgomery
5 Year Old American Single Malt Whiskey

Category: American Single Malt Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 45%
Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of orange infused milk chocolate, light sesame oil, toasted mix grains and sesame seeds, and creme brulee with a satiny, crisp, dry medium body and a warming, interesting, breezy finish with notes of toasted grains, honey malt, and almond cookies and blonde tobacco. Currently an interesting snapshot in time with a lot of potential as the barrels mature.
