You bought it: This whiskey is daring and aggressive with ultra-green, grassy notes — nicely peppered and layered with barrel char. Some spice is obvious, but it surely’s stored within the background as these greener notes dominate. On the palate, the whiskey’s youth continues to dominate, once more showcasing a grassy character that’s a minimum of considerably balanced by sweeter notes of butterscotch and vanilla.

Elvis Whiskey “Tiger Man” – Not marketed as bourbon, that is 2 yr outdated “Tennessee Straight Whiskey” from an unknown distillery. A basic peanut butter — veering nearer to butter pecan — character kicks off the nostril right here, with some rumbling barrel char evident on the nostril. Candy and chewy on the palate, with flavors of roasted peanuts and banana, plus a contact of maple syrup — might there be slightly little bit of Elvis himself creeping into the whiskey? Some baking spice notes, cloves primarily, liven issues up late within the sport, but it surely’s that considerably sugary banana brittle character that is still on level all through. Just like the rye, this can be a youthful and easy whiskey that doesn’t precisely shock the senses — however which doesn’t hurt them, both.
