It’s a decent combo, but a bit of a one-note song.Read Full Review Raided Score: 91Publication: The Whiskey Wash Excerpt: As obvious as it is to say, the distillery did an excellent job of imbuing their straight wheat with attributes of port, almost to the point where one might forget that he or she is drinking whiskey.Read Full Review Raided Score: 75Publication: Whiskey Consensus Excerpt: If you are a fan of citrus and enjoy a long spicy finish, then this is the whiskey for you.Read Full Review Raided Score: 96Publication: Drinkhacker Excerpt: The finish is long and warming, exotic — as a huckleberry isn’t quite a blueberry — but easy as pie.

House Review
Intro:
This is a wheated whiskey produced by a craft distiller, finished in port.
Nose:
Really robust port here. Sweet candy, red hots, caramel, toffee. Really reminiscent of Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond. But with port.
Taste:
Thin, no heat though. Cocoa, fig, faint strawberry jam. Some caramel. Not super complex, not super robust.
Finish:
Short, no heat. Port is really noticeable here. Faint bitterness.
Overall:
Unique but not exciting or exceptional by any stretch. The nose and palate were pretty nice though.
