Minden Mill 5 year old, 47%,

Price: 60 Issue: Spring 2025 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Single Malt American Whiskey

Made from estate-grown barley that comes from a ranch just five miles from the Minden, Nevada-based distillery, this offers an aromatic nose that packs orange peel, bread pudding, cranberry, and sugar cookie into the glass. The palate is perfectly pleasant, if a little uneventful; there’s warm cereal grains, baking spice, and peach rings galore. The mid-length finish keeps everything on an even keel, and while this might not knock your socks off, it should keep you plenty happy. (Release date: 11/24)
