This is the first Texan whisky, as well as being the first whisky to be distilled from blue corn! When we first tried this we thought it was wonderful, though very "different". These days it's become a firm favourite, along with the rest of the craft distillery's fantastic releases.
Soft vanilla and notes of candied peel. Caramelised bananas, toasted oak and a little creamy cereal sweetness.
Rich, thick, palate entry. A touch of dark caramel and baked apple. Baking spices, salted butter.
Spiced, medium finish. Quite sweet.
Agree that it needs a little time to air and water and is pleasant either way. But doesnt blow me away. Too light and not much going on bar the slight rum like sweetness described. Much preferred the cheaper Mellow Yellow corn whiskey.
Really enjoyed the Dram, nose of sweet vanilla, caramel, and melted mozzarella Tastes of sweet candy and vanilla, smooth with a slight burn at the end. Benefits from an ever so slight bit of water and 15 mins to breathe in the glass. Jack Daniels has a rival in Texas!
All Devon fudge and roasted nuts - definitely different but very tasty.
