Holy mother of Satan and his drunken minions..... Wow this is crazy good..I've been eyeing it for a while but didn't want to drop 129 for it....it fell to 51 and I grabbed it.. thank God I did. The rye hit is bold and spicy, the mellow vanilla comes after the spice has its drunk and wild party. It's there to clean up after the rebles...cordial cherries are on the stage whipping the front end hell raisers into its frenzy.. a tad bit of chocolate rounds out my palate. It mops up all the flavor and leaves the place dry and clean...... Needless to say I'm heading back to get 2 or 3 more....GO RIGHT NOW AND GET THIS!!! It's like finding a diamond in a box of corn pops as a prize.....
About this bottle
After Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits had a change of ownership the founder, master brewer, and others split from the company to start up a new distillery called Cutwater. Many of the spirit names have stayed the same. This whiskey exhibits the same attributes of its predecessor by distilling in small batches and aging in heavily-charred American oak barrels.
