![]() ![]() They are upbeat and cheerful, like Christmas cookies. In any case I like that there is sweetness in these oat whiskeys. It would seem that either there is something about oat mash fermentation that leaves some unfermented sugars present, or that there is some natural chemical component in the oat mash that has a flavour that appears to the senses as 'sweet' (eg like stevia is sweet). There is no wood aging to give natural wood sugars to the spirit, and I strongly doubt that these US made products have any additives whatsover. What really intrigues me about this and other unaged Oat whiskeys (eg Koval Oat) is how sweet they are, especially on the palate. It is hard to find spirits with mellow noses if there is no wood aging present. A sour and often strong nose is something common with unaged spirits. I fear this particular bottle is going to sit in my cabinet, until I decide to try it again in a few months to see if its aromas have mellowed a Matthieu, thank you for a nice review. Hopefully, we'll see an aged version someday. It's a good whiskey, but the nose really kills it for me. It is light bodied, moderately sweet, with very light spice.įinish: Moderate length, sweet, mild burn and some very light herbal character.īalance: Once you stop smelling it, this whiskey has a good balance for something that's missing half of its flavors (that would come from aging). Palate: The palate does not follow the nose (luckily for me). Subjectively, I don't care much for that nose, and the strength of it doesn't help matters. I believe I smell strawberries and some metal (probably copper from the pot still), but I'm probably off. I find it hard to describe, but I agree with Victor's assessment of "Sweet n' Sour". Nose: Very powerful, and also very different from any whisky I've tried before: it actually reminds me a bit of white tequila. Once again, I look at High West to try out another whiskey category: this time, the un-aged oak whiskey (admittedly, a rather limited category, but hey! It's available in Québec). ![]()
