Appalachian Gap Ridgeline Vermont Whiskey (750mL)

A rich whiskey, reminiscent of bourbon and irish whiskies, but with a character all its own. The distillery uses a mashbill of 45% barley, 30% com, and 25% rye. Double distilled, it is then aged in ex-bourbon barrels, new American oak barrels, and port wine barrels. The three different barrels creates three distinct whiskies, from which they prepare batches -- each slightly different -- based on the Master Distillers’ taste.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Cedar, mint, dried fruit, with notes of vanilla.

Palate: Opens with crisp autumn fruit notes that gain spice and warmth on the palate, developing flavors of dried fruit, vanilla, and leather and tobacco notes like a fine old red wine, with a lingering sweetness and hint of char.

Finish:  Warm, with sweet spice and nutty notes followed by a clean burn.
