Maverick Barnburner Whisky

Nose: Fruity (a wine-like red grape mustiness), a bit of sugar candy, white wine mustiness, hint of wine-soaked oak, sour rye, candied lime, pomegranate juice, hint of maple, a little peppermint, hint of red wine vinegar, Marsala wine, sweet creamy corn, slightly sweet wood spice. Palate: A burst of caramel and fortified wine sweetness, some chocolate liquor, mocha, Marsala wine, funky peanuts and almonds, oak cask bitter paprika and spice, dry white vermouth notes (with botanicals), candied lemon, very slight peppermint, an unusual but interesting flavor of eggy French toast with cinnamon and syrup. Finish: Grape peels, French toast, rich and sweet oak spice, black tea.

Easy to drink, mellow, and pleasant with a satisfyingly bold, crisp ending. A great choice over ice.

This whiskey was enjoyable. It leans sweet, but it's a delicious treat.

Sweet and thick with a faint lingering warmth.

Warm, with a smooth, sweet caramel taste and a mild port influence.

Pleasantly sweet and mellow. It finishes cleanly.
