Produced in Grand Rapids, Michigan, New Holland Zeppelin Bend is a malt whiskey made from malted barley. It is aged about 4 years and bottled at 90 proof.
A nicely rounded lighter whiskey in the mouth, though, and the cocoa cradles malt sweetness quite nicely...until the oak tears up the finish with a blast of hot spice. You almost want to keep sipping continuously to keep the finish from cutting in.
A fair amount of vanilla, coffee, and apple skins are on the palate. The whiskey is young and raw and is clearly disjointed; for the price, you'd expect a lot more pleasantries to help you swallow both the price and the whiskey.
