About this bottle

Mosswood's "gray label" whiskeys feature small batches of whiskeys finished in unusual barrels. Their third release in this series is a 9 year-old American light whiskey finished for about six months in a barrel that seasoned with Mosswood's own housemade nocino (a walnut liqueur). Incidentally, a "light whiskey" is a whiskey which is distilled over 160 proof but under 190 proof (bourbon cannot be distilled over 160 proof for comparison). It may be aged in either used or uncharred new oak barrels.

whiskey whisky 2.0

Batch #3. Interesting and pleasant nose... some glue, some sour orchard fruit, clove honey, holiday spice. After a few minutes, the walnuts show up. On the palate, a somewhat creamy mouthfeel, with a bitter herbal note, and then the nocino influence. Ends with some sweetness and bitter nut shells. Warmth isn't intense but it lingers. It's not bad, but you're left wishing this was deeper and more complex. 8/1/18
