Detailed Description
Vinn Whiskey is distilled from rice, with fermentation begun by jiuqu, a starter similar to the Japanese koji used in making sake. The distilled spirit is then aged in new, American oak barrels at a level #4 char.
Vinn Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: There’s an earthy fermentedness here—aged gouda?—as well as a wholesome toasted-oat graininess, also a rich stone fruit note, like cooked peaches.
Palate: Mouth-coating and slightly oily, with the flavor balance leaning more towards grain. It’s almost floral on the back of the palate.
Finish: Some bitterness on the finish fades to rice pudding and confectioner’s sugar.
