7 year old whiskey (an unspecified corn, rye, and malted barley mash distilled in Indiana and aged in used barrels. Maple syrup and well-browned popovers in a boozy-hot nose. Richly sweet on the palate: pastry dough, hints of anise, buttery and slightly-burnt cornbread, syrupy dark fruits: complex, rich, delicious. Water brings out more of the dough and tames the heat. Delicious, unique, intriguing. -Whiskey Advocate Top 10 Whsikeys for Fall 2015
