Stranahan’s
10 Year Old Mountain Angel American Single Malt Whiskey Batch No. 4

Category: American Single Malt Whiskey

Date Tasted: 7/16/2024

Country: USA

Alcohol: 45.1%

Light golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of vanilla fudge and over roasted peanut butter, bread pudding, wet grass and hay, and cinnamon and ginger with a velvety, lively, dryish medium body and a tingling, charming, medium-long finish displaying nuances of honey malt, cinnamon and caramel cream, italian herb garden, and pickled ginger and clove. A touch youthful and grain-forward in flavor, but in the best way possible that also shows restraint with the barrel regiment; a shining example that American Single Malt is turning into an outstanding category.
