McKenzie Wheat Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Nice cereal grainy notes with a drier bouquet than a whiskey containing corn. Notes of vanilla, mint, almond, oakand glycerin.

Palate: Fairly dry, with pleasant oiliness to it, grain oak, mint, light tobacco, apricots and maybe a touch of allspice. Much lighter than a whiskey with more corn or rye, and drier on the palate.

Finish: Finish is medium with dry grain finish.
