High West High Country American Single Malt (Batch 19I04)

Earthy phenolic and herbaceous with a wisp of smoke and seaweed this is certainly characterful. The flavor marries malty sweetness red fruits and a peculiar smoke like a distant burning leaf pile or smoldering smoked jalapeños. While it tastes a bit young and it’s certainly unconventional this is a very intriguing whiskey with an ashy finish delivering cocoa and nutty notes. (9600 bottles)
