2022 Best American Single Malt Whiskey

Stranahan’s
Sherry Cask American Single Malt Whiskey

Category: American Single Malt Whiskey

Date Tasted: 7/7/2022

Country: USA

Alcohol: 47%

Dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate drizzled on strawberry shortcake, butterscotch and praline, dates and dried black cherry, cedar and tobacco, burnt sugar, and shitake mushroom with a round, crisp, dry medium-to-full body and a layered, long finish with overtones of sticky toffee pudding with a cherry chocolate sauce, caramel vanilla, marzipan, and cocoa powder. A damn fine Whiskey that is well made and well aged.
