  • The Whiskey Wash
  • By Shauna McKnight
  • I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth this whiskey was. It definitely had some cognitive consequences after the first glass, which I realized after trying to read my notes the next day.

  • By Fred Minnick
  • Somehow, a drop of water makes it even more complex, amplifying the butterscotch and presenting cinnamon-soaked roasted pecans and almonds. Pure bliss; a must-sip.

  • Altogether it’s a straightforward bourbon, but well-aged, balanced, and engaging through and through.

  • If they ever change anything about it as far as age statement or NCF, I will be upset. Heaven Hill, if you are reading this, please never change!

House Review
  • Nose:

    Oak, caramel, vanilla, pixie sticks, cherry, cocoa. Really rich, lots of toffee with faint pepper undertones.

  • Taste:

    Medium to thick, hot, but rich with flavor. Peppery oak, earthy cocoa, caramel, tobacco, vanilla and some cherry.

  • Finish:

    Long, but more peppery than Id like and pretty astringent. Cocoa, some toffee and lots of musty tobacco

  • Overall:

    This is nice but not up to snuff with other releases I've had.

  • Score:
