Laws Whiskey House Henry Road Bonded Straight Malt (Batch 2) 50%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2021 ● Reviewer: Ted Simmons ● Category: American Malt Whiskey
Funky on the nose, with notes of hay, overripe fruit, burlap sack, dark chocolate, cereal grains, and tapioca pudding. It's got a barnyard essence to it. Creamy on the palate, with more chocolate, warm berry pie, and pepper spice. Water brightens things up, enhancing the spice and nutty pecan notes. Cocoa powder on a spiky finish. Inventive in its use of heirloom grains and distillation methods, with solid balance and texture.
