Tasting Panel Notes

About The Sweetest Sensation: Age is just a number when your yearly angel's share (evaporation rate in cask) is 20%! 3 years old drinks like 13 years old and the world's gone mad! Not really, you're just in Waco, TX, home to one of the best single malt distilleries in North America. Never sleep on the stellar effort coming out of Distillery 140!

Tasting Panel Note: Scented aromas of dried flowers merged into mashed banana as we poured over melted milk chocolate spiced with chipotle chili paste. It was cocktail time on the palate with the arrival of orange bitters and herbal liqueur dancing around habañero peppers on a bed of cask char. A little water introduced soft leather and aromatic tobacco as a sweet fragrance returned, this time as delicate honeysuckle petals. Juicy satsumas and ripe cherries tumbled into mounds of cocoa powder and flaked bitter chocolate, while whipped cream lavishly coated a banana split served with baked apples and a topping of tamarind, cinnamon and nutmeg.
