Full bodied and vibrant
Nose: Some herbal notes among a light woodiness /woodsiness.
Palate: Almonds. Amaretto liqueur. Honey, warm spices. Peppery with a beet-y sweetness, juicy but not fruity.
Finish: Butter popcorn in the finish, sugary, pleasant length.
Additional Notes:
- The best thing about Bastille 1789 is that for a blended whisky, it has the boldness of body and flavor of a fully malted drink - there's none of that unpleasant neutral spirit pungency or astringency
- The label gives very little information regarding the origin and type of grain used in this whisky. No age statement. The only craft-indicative information is that it comes from "limousin oak casks." Online research informs me that it is similar to Irish whiskey with barley and wheat
- Highly unusual, and very fun to taste thanks to a combination of various cask influences
