O'Danagher's American (Batch 1)

This Dry Fly Distilling project is made from grains grown in Washington by farmer Tim O'Danaher [note that different spellings are correct]. Off to a good start: a luxuriously sweet cereal aroma puffs out of the glass as I pour and adds softened dried fruits and hard candy when actively nosed. The new American oak (53-gallon barrel) is evident immediately tempering the sweetness with spice walnuts and a hard woodiness. Finish is long balanced enticing. Definitely enjoyable as a sipper; an interesting new direction.
