Austin 101 Light Whiskey, 51%,

Price: 49 Issue: Spring 2025 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Light Whiskey

The non-cask strength expression in Austin Craft Spirits’ light whiskey lineup. Very light in color, with hay, grain notes, aged oak, and wet wool on the nose. Light and delicious on the palate: Golden Delicious apples, white pepper spice, sliced peaches, and honey-covered wheat toast. Good length on the finish and the peach notes dominate in a balanced fashion. Light but very tasty, and hard to believe its proof. (Release date: 3/20)
