Dry Hills Bin 7 Wheat Whiskey

At the distillery and got served a glass of this after a cocktail. It came cloudy and unfiltered - nice! Nose: Reminds me of a young, green malt even though it's 80% wheat. A bit of surprising rye kick too. Dark wildflower honey and caramel syrup. Vanilla toffee. Goddamn, it's straight butterscotch syrup now. Palate:. Very sweet with some nice spiciness at the end. A little smokey like burnt toffee, which I like. Sawdust and grain bin. A little bit of greenness, like grass and some sort of herby note. Finish: Medium length and mild. Sweetness disappears first, leaving black pepper and sawdust. I'd say old corn, but there's no corn in the mashbill! Conclusion: For a young local, this is pretty impressive. Definitely young, and a bit sweet for me, but overall I like it.

Odor: Sweet, but not sickeningly. Smells rougher than it is. Strong alcohol odor. Taste: Dusty, oily emulsion. Starts off sweet and smooth with vanilla and toffee, turning into a burn in the back of the mouth. Not peppery. Finish: Dustiness lingers, heavy barley flavor fades into rye. Puckers the back of the tongue, but buttery on the front.
