The BourbonBlog.com team reviewing some most innovative whiskeys we’ve ever tasted and they’re coming from Corsair Artistan Distillery here is the first…
Whiskey: Triple Smoke Single Barrel Whiskey
Distillery: Corsair Artisan Distillery, Bowling Green, Kentucky and Nashville, Tennessee
Proof: Barrel Proof 59.2% ABV; at118.4 proof
Notes: Pot distilled American malt whiskey from cherry, beechwood, and peat smoked barley.
Color: Medium Amber.
Nose: A bold smokiness with background of sugar.
Taste: Peat comes through on front end and becomes sugar-coated toward the middle with some hints of the cherry. “Scotch like” in a small way and backed and well-balanced with sweetness.
Finish: Nice balance of grain and sweetness.
