Westland Black Raven Brewing Co. American Single Malt, 50%

Price: 100 Issue: Fall 2019 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Single Malt American Whiskey

Herbal and peppery on the nose, offering dill, licorice, guava, and green banana, as well as a hint of mint and black cherry cough medicine. The mouthfeel is somewhat tart, with burnt espresso beans, bitter chocolate, and a note of toasted almond. A long finish of caramel and bitter chocolate, as well as charred, bitter hoppy notes melds with a sweet, honeyed and syrupy taste and texture. A fascinating flavor progression.
