Flag Hill 6 year old (Batch 4), 45%

Price: 70 Issue: Winter 2022 Reviewer: Ted Simmons Category: Single Malt American Whiskey

A complex marriage of fruity and earthy notes on the nose: lemon peel, grape candy, vanilla cake, tree bark, tiramisu, and dried herbs. With time, new aromas continue to emerge. The palate is full and rich with chocolate bar, dark berry jam, and cinnamon stick, though the texture is silky and somewhat thin. Mint and sweet chocolate highlight a lengthy and striking finish. Benefits from time and water, with maturity shown throughout.
