Tasting Notes by John Hansell for Whisky Advocate

Comment
Straight wheat whiskeys can be almost too easy-going. Not chill-filtering adds teasing, subtle complexity. Gently sweet, with maple syrup, caramel, marzipan, and coconut cream, along with a dusting of vanilla, cinnamon, and green tea. A whiskey for a lazy saturday afternoon... or perhaps with pancakes at brunch?

Cinnamon, brown sugar, tobacco, and leather notes. Peppery and intense with cinnamon and black pepper notes, honey and brown sugar touches underneath. Lingering and spicy with cinnamon touches and a hint of tobacco.

Tasting Notes by Robin Laing, World Whiskies Awards 2012
-
Buttery vanilla tablet, caramel and fudge spring out from the nose - becoming fresh and subtle, like shrubs on a hillside in summer, perhaps distant smoke, then white pepper. The palate is certinaly sweet - toffee burnt sugar, fudge, with a hint of cumin; stewed rhubarb tartness arrives with a splash of water, restoring balance.

Nose
Warm, welcoming, appetising. The bakery aromas of Sunday brunch.
-
Palate
Pancakes. Cornbread. Buttered corn. Peach cobbler. Pecan pie. Pints of vanilla ice cream with butterscotch sauce, garnished with sprigs of fresh mint.
-
Finish
A hint of soft, leafy, balancing dryness.

Comment
At an ‘all you can eat’ buffet in Chicago, a woman piling her plate said to me: “isn’t this sinful?” This is temptation in a bottle.

Tasting Notes by Dave Broom

Nose
The first impression is butter, then fresh baking, toasted crumpet followed by light red fruit (cherry) and allspice. Gentle, with a tricksy quality, lemon meringue lifted by a subtle spiciness. Very clean and well defined.
-
Palate
Gentle then a tingle of fresh planed oak. Reminiscent of melted rock candy with a hint of toffee and a menthol note. Very fine.
-
Finish
Long, spicy.

Comment
A stunning glass, gentle yet exotic.

This Heaven Hill product, aged 7 years, is smooth and wonderful straight and neat or mixed into any bourbon based cocktail. The value in this bottle cannot be beat.
-
Hard to find here in Australia but well worth the effort to try
-
Great wheater!
-
Tangy and wheaty, golden syrup and grape sweetness. Pretty easy drinking.
-
This is excellent stuff. If you want to try something a bit different, give it a go, although it's not cheap.Nose: Liquorice, anise, hickory, tropical fruit, toasted cinnamonTaste: Incredibly smooth then lightly-spiced and peppery Finish: The sweetness is held in check by the wood but never overpowering
