Hotel Tango 2 year old, 50%

Price: 40 Issue: Winter 2022 Reviewer: Ted Simmons Category: Rye Whiskey

Fruity and tart on the nose, with aromas of strawberry lemonade, cinnamon-dusted apples, watermelon candy, and musty oak. A rich, syrupy palate brings with it notes of strawberry frosting, bubble gum, raisin pudding, and vanilla. A dessert sweetness takes the foreground while cherry and raspberry notes fill in the margins. The finish is creamy, with more red berries and vanilla. It’s young but shows promise.
