ABV: 35%
Nose: Spice, Cloves, Nutmeg, allspice, Cinnamon, Oak
Palate: Thin Mouthfeel, Cinnamon, allspice, Oak. There really isn’t much here.
Finish: Short, Spicy, cinnamon, nutmeg.
Rating: 3/10
This is thin, very spicy, and so cinnamon driven that there is now way there Is no flavoring added to this whiskey.
Guess: This is a high rye, young rye or bourbon. Overpowering spices makes me think maybe aged in a small barrel or a flavor added Whiskey. 40-45% ABV. 4 Years old Max.
Reveal: Old Fashoned from Watershed Distillery
Kind of surprised at this but not too much. A craft distillery offering a premade old fashioned with their bourbon as the base was probably bound to fall flat anyway.
