St. George Spirits St. George Single Malt Whiskey

From the disitllers of Hanger One vodka, made from two-row barley and aged mostly in used bourbon casks with a few French oak and port cask thrown in for good measure.

The Nose: Soft and clean, wonderful cocoa powder, perhaps a little cinnamon, a touch of citrus

The Palate: Incredibly smooth transition from what you get on the nose with a faintly oily or viscous mouthfeel. Those cocoa notes are there to begin with but they slide into barley and grain notes. There's a little fruit here, most of it of the baked variety, a touch raisin-y.

The Finish: Those barley and grain notes slide nicely into a medium long almost peppery finish that tapers off as smoothly as it all started.

Thoughts: A very unique whiskey, well-balanced and smooth. There are a lot of interesting flavors here for a whiskey, I was on board from the first taste and just kept enjoying it more and more. This is a delicious easy going dram, perfect for warm fall evenings on the porch with friends.
