Wasmund's Single Malt Whisky
Unlike anything I've had before.
On the nose I'd say closer to a scotch.Stone fruit,smoke,vanilla and some unidentifiable aromas.
On the palette it kicks off more like bourbon.What first hit me was an unidentifiable semi sweet taste.....then it breaks down into a woody,not oak a much sweeter woody taste,cinnamon,apple,a little vanilla and stone fruit.I've got to say at this point Macallan 18 came to mind.A lot going on here I just can't identify all of it.Don't get me wrong....no one that knows scotch is going to confuse this with Macallan 18 but the complexity at this point is much the same.
The finish is excellent......as it rolls off the tongue it's slightly dry,again in a woody sort of way but not oak dry,and herbal with just enough warmth to remind you this is a whisky.The finish is quite long and evolves into a tobacco taste that I really dig.
I paired this with some Hal o the Wynd,a Virginia and perique blend from Rattray's,in a cob.I can see where a cigar would go well with this also.
Thanks again to CRGCPRO for the opportunity to try this excellent and unique whisky.
