Manhattan Moonshine Prohibition-Style Whiskey, 47.5%

Price: 45 Issue: Summer 2015 Reviewer: Geoffrey Kleinman Category: White Whiskey

It's hard to stand out in a sea of fairly bland moonshine, but Manhattan Moonshine manages to by moving beyond corn in their mashbill, with oat, rye, spelt, and malt. The result is an unaged whiskey that's light, slightly sweet, and a symphony of cereal grains. The addition of the honey note from the oats is spot on and helps unite the grain flavors. A dash of spice creates balance and drives a dry finish. This is a wonderfully crafted and unique whiskey.
