  • Caramel and toffee dominate, but there's this candied cherry note that sneaks in and makes the whole thing pop. It's sweet but not one-dimensional. The proof carries weight, but it doesn't fight you.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Chocolate. Like real dark chocolate! There's something almost savory underneath it — maybe leather, maybe tobacco. Either way, this nose is GREAT.

  • Taste:

    Caramel and toffee dominate, but there's this candied cherry note that sneaks in and makes the whole thing pop. It's sweet but not one-dimensional. The proof carries weight, but it doesn't fight you.

  • Finish:

    This is where it shines. It just keeps going. Warm, slightly sweet, dries out at the end in the best way. You keep licking your lips wanting more.

  • Overall:

    American single malts are having a moment, and this is one of the reasons why. Cedar Ridge out of Iowa with a sherry and French oak finish isn't what most people expect from a non-Kentucky whiskey, and that's exactly the point. It drinks way above what you'd guess. Drink it neat or maybe add a drop of water if you want to open it up, but honestly, it doesn't need help.
