About this bottle

This whiskey is named for William "Bat" Masterson, "an Old West marshal, gambler, newspaperman and boxing promoter" - someone who always looked to new trends. Wheat usually plays a supporting role in other whiskeys, but is the main attraction here. This one uses Canadian wheat and local glacier water, aged in new oak for 12 years.

Oh my! What a peculiar smell, whiskey with b8tter almonds, I don't know. I thought it was some k8nd of bourbon and by the sweetness probably not far away. I think it is the unrefined vanilla/scotch I took as bitter almond. So now I need to find a cocktail with both bourbon and maraschino.

Smells syrupy. Some floral notes. Sweet on the tongue, some dark chocolate, honey at the end. Smooth for the proof. Somewhat straightforward. 7/30/17

"Typical" wheat flavor, not too hot and smoother than I thought.
