Duality Double Malt

This is without question one of the most unique bottles I've purchased in a long time! In a world of whiskey where so many bottles can taste very similar to so many others, it's a refreshing change to find one that doesn't taste similar to ANYTHING that I have ever had before. After the first sip, hell even the second and third sip, you're stuck sitting there trying to figure out exactly what it is that you're drinking. At first you get the classic smokey notes of malted barley, but then those are taken over by the malted rye with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and coffee. And the finish lingers on for several minutes, leaving your palate to ponder what it just experienced. I killed the entire bottle inside of a week, which is extremely unusual for me since I rarely drink from the same bottle twice in a week. But it's just that good, and extremely unique and interesting!

This is a mix of 50% malted barley and 50% smoked cherry wood. This one has significant viscosity for its proof, but a rather long finish. A good amount of tobacco and smokiness. This is certainly an enjoyable one to drink. It brings to mind the Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Cherry Wood for comparison.

Nose: oak upfront, light honey sweetness on the nose, slight fruity character and mix of juicy aromas with dusty undertones. Taste: sweet with a slight smokiness. Medium oiliness and the juiciness lingers. Long mild spicy rye finish and oak lasts throughout the whole experience.

Peppery at first, then mellows into a blend of dry walnuts and faint cigar essence. The aroma is sweeter, but that sweetness doesn't seem to transfer to the taste.

baker’s chocolate, roasted pecans, molasses, brown sugar. Starts with spice and dryness but ends sweet and smoky. A truly distinct and enjoyable whiskey.

Aroma: faint smoke, honey. Palate: light smoke, honey, apple, with a pleasant rye spice on the finish.
