Austin 121 Cask Strength Light Whiskey, 65.6%,

Inspired by traditional French eau de vie methods, Austin Craft Spirits Co. specializes in making light whiskeys from corn, wheat, and barley grown primarily in Texas. Dry on the nose, with vanillin and earthiness. On the palate there are flavors of peach, apricot, vanilla, anise, and dark berries. Nice finish with stone fruit and vanilla. A bit dry and hot, but not surprising at this ABV. A nice combination of dry and fruity. (Release date: 11/23)
