In the mouth, a lively texture undergirds brown butter, mixed nuts, lemon zest, and a hint of ginger. It finishes nutty and warm, with a touch of cigar wrapper and leathery oak.
Try serving a dram of this to your Scotch-loving friends and tell them it’s from Speyside. If anyone can call it out as American I’ll eat my hat. (I don’t wear a hat, but still, report back.)
All in all, Town Branch Kentucky Single Malt Whiskey is a tasty pour, and I’m willing to bet it would fit nicely into a flight of low-proof scotches. A bottle will set you back about $30, and at that price, I would happily keep this on my shelf for when I want a solid mature American single malt whiskey.
