Fifty Star
American Single Malt Whiskey

Category: American Single Malt Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 45%
Golden amber color. Grainy, piney, earthy aromas and flavors of caramel and vanilla, play doh, butter cream and ginger, and toasted orange zest with a velvety, vibrant, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish revealing notes of malted grain husks, coconut butter and nougat, white button mushroom, and sesame oil and black tea. Youthful on the nose with a bit of heat but this also shows a lot of potential for the category and will please those that like the taste of barley.
