Intro:
This is a single barrel release of Knox Whiskey Works 5 year old spirit, distilled using a 70/30 corn:rye mash bill. It is bottled at cask strength and sourced from an undisclosed source. There is very little information out there regarding their contract producer / sourcer, and the mash bill further kicks up the intrigue factor.
-
Nose:
Apples, clove, caramel, tobacco, musty, pepper. Pretty familiar, not super complicated, but also not super off-putting.
-
Taste:
Thin, sweet banana, apples, pears. Sawdust, very hot. Oaky, faint pepper, astringent.
-
Finish:
Short, hot, musty. Wet cardboard, pepper, searing heat. Astringent.
-
Overall:
Not good, and not particularly well sourced. Very hot, even for the proof, with a strong presence of youth and under maturation.
