Dad's Hat Pennsylvania Straight, 47.5%

Price: $55 Issue: Summer 2019 Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton

Spiced plums, spearmint, clove, dried ginger, fennel, lilac, and bubble gum on the nose. The palate is perfumy and well-spiced, with candied rose petal, blueberry, bubble gum, chili powder, black pepper, and chocolate, tingling with a racy, spicy, oaky finish. Now aged 4 years, this whiskey has shown improvement with every orbit of the earth and exhibits hallmark rye flavors: a perfect silhouette.
