Shortbarrel - El Jefe
Aroma: Sweet American Whiskey upfront with a gentle hint of smokey mezcal (almost woody) on the first nose. Slight notes of vanilla, charred orange, pepper, sweet corn, and herbal background.
Mouth: Smooth creamy vanilla, honey, cinnamon spice, very bright citrus keeps going and going. Even with the proof, this offers a buttery taste because of the 91% corn in the mashbill. The smokey flavor is not overpowering and shows up more with an ice cube in the glass, enhancing the mezcal finish you would expect.
Finish: The extra time in the barrel helped here and so does the proof. This is one of those finishes that will make you want to grab a second/third glass as you try to figure out the nose and mouthfeel on this. The finish is long as you would expect from a barrel proof whiskey but it’s not a punch in the chest.
