Heyo and happy ****'in whiskey wednesday! I feel like it's been forever since I did a review, in reality it's just been a full work week after the holidays. Our foray into Scotch and Scotland has been cut short as we move back to America for some new Oak barrels and local Salt Lake flare. This is likely my favorite "budget friendly" whiskey option when it comes to local stuff, and one of the most interesting flavor profiles I've ever tasted. Absolute sweetness and joy awaits as we delve into the creamy roundness that is Sugar House Distillery's 'American Single Malt Whisky'.
Nose - Fastidious toffee and caramel jumps forth with deep breaths of oak and char, with a light bit of brine and smoke that comes and goes.
Palette - The reason I can't put the bottle down. Sweet toffee flavor abound with dates and other dark driend fruits, a touch of citrus, and something I like to call "fresh grain" - a flavor that seems to be Sugar House Distillery's calling card - that fills the palette and comes on full and well rounded.
Finish - easy going, the fresh grain flavor I detailed earlier drains into your body and warms the soul in a very friendly, soft, and overall mellow fashion. Very easy to down and very easy to pour another dram.
As I said before, this is my go-to when it comes to unique local flavors on a "bang-for-buck" basis. You're getting 750ml for just abour $45 locally from ANY liquor store here in the state, making this an obvious choice for anyone wanting to try something exciting and new. A true 5/5 in my book; and yes, I really DO have a BOOK of whiskey reviews, five hollow stars included.
