Uncle Nearest Whiskey 1856 750ML

Uncle Nearest 1856 has a caramel color with a beautiful deep golden hue. Baled hay and pumpkin seeds on the nose with subtle notes of ripe stone fruit and caramel corn. Bold and spicy upfront then mellows with sweet caramel and maple, like biting into an oatmeal raisin cookie. The finish is long and rich. It lingers pleasantly sweet on the palate with notes of vanilla after the spice dissipates. APPEARANCE Light caramel, straw/hay, beautiful deep golden hue NOSE Bale of hay, dried grass, stone fruit notes of ripe peach and apricot, caramel corn and sweet maple. PALATE Spicy caramel up front with the proof, hints of maple then mellows with dried fruit and floral notes. Sweetness and spice reminiscent of freshly baked oatmeal raisin cookies. FINISH Long and rich finish, lingers pleasantly sweet on the palate, notes of vanilla.

This whiskey shows a bombastic nose of maple candy, vanilla fudge, black tea, and toasted tangerine peel. In tasting, the spirit starts out with more indulgent flavors of honey and corn fritter before finishing with a pleasant kick of star anise spice. - 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Excellent, Highly Recommended)
Sarsaparilla and vanilla lead the nose and palate. There’s a strong drying feel to the sip, which sizzles with ginger and cinnamon right into the toasty vanilla and almond finish. Made with a blend of 8- to 11-year-old whiskies.
