Wee Whisky 1 month old
68% abv or pretty damn near
$ not for sale
Maturation is a slow process and one shouldn't watch the pot. In the month since birth the liquid has gone from clear to light gold. The child has changed, too. I was on the road for a 5 day stretch and there were noticeable changes when I returned. With the child, I obviously want to spend every minute, but with the whisky not so much.
I admire distillers for having the patience to just fill a cask and leave it the hell alone. I don't have the patience for this!
I want to get to know you, already. What kind of person will you be? What are you going to like and what are you going to hate? Will you be a funny? Serious? Outgoing? Shy? Who are you already!?!!
As far as tasting notes go, the only fair thing to do is to compare to the new make/white dog as all it is (so far) is really new make plus.
TASTING NOTES:
Brown sugar sweetness replaces the vegetal aromas of the new make, with some cake mix and apple aromas, too.
Very new make-y on the palate. Wow. 68% abv!
SUMMARY:
Sweet, young, and strong. But of course I would say so, I'm her father. With water I can taste more, but it really is just yellow new make. I think this stuff might last a year in this cask... and then we will have a 1st birthday party to remember.
