Grand Canyon Distillery Star Shine American Single Malt (Batch 001)

This whiskey shows no reticence in asserting a unique and frankly thrilling personality from first sniff: tea leaves coconut brown sugar saline raspberry plum cinnamon incense and the freshness of a cedar-filled forest rush out of the glass. Such layered complexity—belying its 18-month age statement—carries ably into the palate which is fruit-filled with dark plums and berries lush with dark chocolate and baking spice and tannic with oak and tea leaves. The well-balanced finish showcases dark chocolate sandalwood subtle spices and cigar wrapper. Very approachable. (600 bottles)
