While their Bourbon, Rye and Wheat expressions are all made with 100% corn, 100% rye and 100% wheat (respectively), the folks at the Reservoir distillery are also rather accomplished at blending these spirits into fine tipples, too. This is their Hunter & Scott Bourbon, made with a combination of grains - not just one!
Melted chocolate, peach, pistachio ice cream and honeysuckle.
A slight vegetal hint as it opens, before raisin, caramel and fried banana notes take control.
Milky coffee, cinnamon and menthol.
Grim in the extreme. Very peculiar on the palate and a very unpleasant finish. Not sure if I can face finishing the bottle unless I drown it in coke. Not nice neat or with ice and ruins a Manhattan or Old- fashioned. Best avoided.
Terrible, it thought that it was something wrong with my bottle.
Possibly one of the worst drinks I’ve ever suffered.
