Sacred Stave Bourbon Whiskey

N - honey, dark cherry, new oak T - cherry, licorice, mouth deal kind of maple syrupy F - slight tobacco, nutty/woody Included in a Bourbon Charity blind tasting. Voted number two for me out of 5 AZ whiskies. I’m a big fan of San Tan as a brewery and am excited to see them continue to grow as a distillery. I prefer their single malt to their bourbon but both are interesting and different than what some others are doing regionally. Sampled at home.

Poured neat. Light on the nose with notes of green apple and dusty corn. I also get a slight metallic note as well that I usually pick up on frim Irish whiskey, strangely enough. The sweet green apple and metallic notes carry over to the taste. Youthful woody flavors come through in the mid-palate, with the finish fading to a mix of unsweetened tea and mild tobacco.

Nose: Vanilla, strawberry, oak, sweet berry Flavor: Berry, vanilla, white sugar, light caramel, very smooth Finish: long, sugary, fruity, light oak

Smooth AZ Bourbon by San Tan. Oak, caramel finish.

Honey, clove, pepper, oak, sharp finish

Very light basic flavor. No suprises
