John's Alabama Single Malt Whiskey

Unique, high-quality and delicious overall. This had been on my wishlist for a while...years probably. Never saw it locally, traveled across state lines today and there it was. Nose: Fruity. Red apple and peach pops out the glass. Big red cinnamon throughout the nose, it's intense. Malty goodness. Undertones of fireplace smoke. A little caramel. Taste: A rush of vanilla and honey, along with a touch of pear. So that sweetness from the nose carries over. I get peach with the American Malts sometimes, and this is no different (I don't think it's the peach tree wood influencing my decision lol). Finish: Coats mouth and is a near perfect finish. Not too strong, but not too light. Gradually drifts away after a little kick. Leaves you with the vanilla custard, some brown sugar and more of that peach wood along with a touch of smoke. Overall: Punches above its proof. Tons of flavor here. Distinct flavors. All at a reasonable price. I'll replace this one whenever it's gone.

A lovely pour. Excited for the American Single Malt profile to continue growing in the US. It has a sweet, spicy, and slightly fruity nose. The palate was definitively southern pecan forward, with a little creme brulee note. Nutty finish, but found it incredibly drinkable. Made about 30 minutes from where I grew up. Tasted at the Royal Oyster House in Gulf Shores, Alabama. 2022: I've heard that recent batches are even better than what I tasted before, so I will need to get my hands on another bottle soon.

Nose: oak, sweet oak Body: medium Palate: oak, Kentucky hug is present on first sip. Second sip more apricot. Malt third sip. From there on lots of fruity maltiness Finish: short malt Note: cool story, from Nate. This is interesting, tastes more like a young scotch then a bourbon but it’s not a bourbon so

Nose - Honey, bit of smoke Taste _ malt & honey, fruit (peaches? ) smokey. Finish; smokey honey Nice daily sipper. Happy to drink home state single malt. I first tasted this almost 2 years ago and thought it was dreadful with a terrible young malt sourness. They have greatly improved since then.

I really wanted to find an Alabama whiskey that I liked... and this is not the answer. I went to school at UA so perhaps my affinity for the state betrayed me. I will not be buying this again... ever.

Nose: orange and lemon citrus, little stone fruit sweetness, orange blossom honey. Palate: sweet flavors, white peach, very floral, slight lemon cleaner on the back end, and a spicy finish.
