Uncle Nearest 1856 Aged Whiskey

Description

Uncle Nearest 1856 has a caramel color with a beautiful deep golden hue. Baled hay and pumpkin seeds on the nose with subtle notes of ripe stone fruit and caramel corn. Bold and spicy upfront then mellows with sweet caramel and maple, like biting into an oatmeal raisin cookie. The finish is long and rich. It lingers pleasantly sweet on the palate with notes of vanilla after the spice dissipates. 50% ABV, 100 ProofAPPEARANCE Light caramel, straw/hay, beautiful deep golden hueNOSE Bale of hay, dried grass, stone fruit notes of ripe peach and apricot, caramel corn and sweet maple.PALATE Spicy caramel up front with the proof, hints of maple then mellows with dried fruit and floral notes.
