Cedar Ridge
2024 The QuintEssential Special Release Untitled Cigar Malt Project American Single Malt Whiskey

Category: American Single Malt Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 57.4%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of cocoa and honey granola, dried figs and toffee, five spice, mocha, and pipe tobacco, leather, honey roasted mixed nuts, and and cigar box with a round, vibrant, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, intricate, long finish displaying suggestions of chocolate honey syrup, honey granola and dried red berries, leather and mocha, and well aged maduro tobacco. A big, warming embrace of a Whiskey that holds the ABV extremely well; it’s still young in terms of the barley flavors but the barrel/cask regiment is very complex and well-balanced.
