McClintock Maryland Heritage White Whiskey

I'm typically intimidated by white whiskeys, and this bottle is no different. It's not really my kind of drink, but among white whiskeys, it's the finest I've encountered. Those who appreciate white dog should definitely give it a go; it's reminiscent of what people might have consumed in Maryland historically.

The aroma and palate strongly resemble tequila. Notes of lime are present. It's sweet, fruity, and citrus-forward, complemented by a touch of pepper. There's perhaps the faintest whisper of honey. I didn't perceive it as overly spicy. A very sweet and smooth whiskey.

Floral, perfumed aroma. The taste is initially neutral and mildly sweet, then develops into grain and citrus with added floral notes. Complex for a white whiskey.
