Bainbridge Battle Point 43%
Score: 8.4
Best Wheat Whiskey
Nose: Very creamy and corn fat with perfumed violets, sweet coffee, toffee and hints of earth and wheat/ bran flakes. Very buttery and toffee’d with time. (3.4)
Palate: Soft, toffee caramel, milk chocolate and….Ahh, here comes the rye! It builds with a lovely, herbal, youthful, woody, bitter intensity. (3.5)
Finish: Medium length. Quite sweet, toffee’d and creamy which balances the dry woodiness rather well. Pure butter-cream after-taste. (1.5)
Conclusion: It felt like it was going to be all sweet and toffee’d, but then the rye arrived to save the day!
