  • A huge improvement from High Bank's standard Whiskey War, this expression from High Bank is a rich, full-bodied expression that stands well on its own and easily puts High Bank on the map of new producers to watch.

  • Nose:

    Bold char, maple and baking spice. Light notes of honeydew, faint citrus.

  • Taste:

    Moderate mouthfeel, pleasant viscosity and barrel char. Cinnamon, clove, honey, a touch of bitter oak. Ethanol is in check here, adds a really pleasant richness.

  • Finish:

    Long finish that reminds me of a s’more — it’s packed with cocoa, graham cracker, marshmallow sweetness and a touch of ash and char.

  • Overall:

    A huge improvement from High Bank's standard Whiskey War, this expression from High Bank is a rich, full-bodied expression that stands well on its own and easily puts High Bank on the map of new producers to watch.
