Description | Palmetto - WhiskeyAccording to the distillery, the mash bill is based on grains that would have been available in South Carolina during the South Carolina Dispensary period. It’s 21% rye, with the remainder consisting of a mix of corn, malted barley, and wheat. The resulting whiskey is aged less than 2 years in French oak, and bottled at 89.3 proof.
- Appearance: In the glass, this whiskey is a deep russet with light, closely spaced legs.
- Nose: The nose is sweet, almost confectionery; honey mingles with syrupy caramel, brown sugar, and a hint of banana. A buttery note brings to mind dulce de leche or pralines.
- Palate: Fairly tannic on the palate, and like the nose, mostly sweet, with notes of honey and caramel detectable.
- Finish: Brown sugar and caramel are still present, but a strong maple note predominates. The finish is smooth but short.
