Whitmeyer's Texas Whiskey
Tasting Notes
Hand Crafted in Small Batches
90 Proof
Color: Pale Straw
Nose: Spice, Oak, Vanilla, Almonds, and Lemon
Taste: Honey on the front of the tongue and astringent leather on the sides of the tongue. Peanuts dominate the mid-palate.
Body: Light
Finish: A very nice black pepper finish that really lingers on the sides of the tongue.
Personality: Jeff Bagwell
Impression: A very unique whiskey where the olfactory enticement and the palatal experience seem almost as different as night and day until you dive deep into both and begin to realize that they are different faces of the same coin. The peanut flavor is wonderful and really pairs well with pork.
