Tasting Notes

šŸ‘ļø Appearance

Light amber, high clarity.

šŸ‘ƒ Nose

Green apple. A little sour. Slight caramel. Getting darker notes the longer it rests, some slight tobacco coming in.

šŸ‘… Palate

Slight smokey quality, but not peat smoke. A little apple skin. Definitely not typical bourbon flavors. Is this a single malt? I don't think it's scotch, so maybe an American single malt.

šŸ Finish

The apple skin notes linger for awhile.

šŸ‘ļø Blind Tasting Impressions

Not really my jam, but pretty good for what it is.

šŸŽ­ Post-Reveal Thoughts (Revealed Jan 05, 2026)

I can see now that the apple notes I was getting can definitely be grape instead. I think the finish took over most of the bourbon notes, throwing me off. I think if I knew this was bourbon, I probably rate it a little lower.
