Nose: grains jump out first, definitely showcasing the malts, followed by fresh peanuts and a hint of chocolate. Palate hits with a smooth sweetness, vanillins, light oak, notes of chocolate. Adding a touch of water opens this up to the grain variety finish starts off with notes of chili peppers, a bit of alcohol burn that fades into light baking spices. Long lingering finish
Wood's High Mountain Distillery Tenderfoot Whiskey
About this bottle
A single malt, perhaps not in the Scottish sense of the word, but all grains used from this one distillery are malts. Over 78% barley, wheat, and rye are the malted grains used with a portion of the barley cherrywood smoked and another portion chocolate malt barley. Two sizes of new American oak (25 gallon and 30 gallon) are charred to a level #3 and used for aging the whiskey.

I'm assuming I got a bad bottle, popped this open after visiting the distillery and it smelled like rotten vegetables and that's exactly what it tasted like, it was batch 22. And given the good reviews it has received I believe I've gotten a skunk bottle but I don't think what I have should be advertised as consumable.
A big malt whiskey, fudge, a bit of smoke, fresh malt, cherry, lots of spice, young but unique and well crafted. The hang tag says 3 different barley malts, malted wheat and malted rye
Seeet....almost too sweet. Chocolatey
Leather, cinnamon, scotchy
Banana?
