I've been recently enjoying Mashbuild (https://www.washmodistilling.com/mashbuild), a whisky blended over in Washington, MO. It's a bit of a gimmick, but it's a tasty gimmick. Think “Infinity Bottle”, but at the barrel-level.

It's a 100 proof whisky that's fairly dark. It's not as fiery as those that have aged for a long time. I find it smooth enough to enjoy with just a splash of water—I also have it with ice.

On the nose I get leather with hints of cinnamon stick and honey. There's some heat mid-tongue and with greater heat at the throat. Honey and cinnamon with a brief hint of licorice or anise. The mouth feel is great, almost like coffee with cream.

There are some other flavors in there, but I'm not able to pick them out at the moment.

I like this.

I'll update when I put ice in the next dram.

Uffda! -ath0
