Branch Point Single Pot Still, 46%

Price: 60 Issue: Summer 2022 Reviewer: Shane English Category: American Whiskey


Branch Point's Pot Still opens with layers of candied citrus and glazed nuts. Candied orange, pecans, and peanuts float atop sweet breakfast cereal. There's a bakery quality here too, with powdered-sugar doughnuts and sweet glaze. The palate brings ripe and juicy citrus, with tangy orange and tangerine giving way to chocolate croissant and cinnamon candies. The finish fades rather quickly to subtle milk chocolate.
