Jono Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Crown Valley Distilling produces this whiskey. 90 proof - mash bill? Malted barley I assume and ?Their unaged is "the spirit is made from a blend of rye and barley,"...so I assume the same.My 1st impression is the taste of licorice and bananna.....odd pairing but there it is.It will take some time to get a handle on. Water seems to bring a cocoa note out.The bottle states - "nose heavy vanilla scent with cinnamon and mint....taste is floral withhints of vanilla ad cinnamon followed by a smooth finish of light smoke, coconut, bread, butterscotch."Another review comes up with a different taste impression:http://329823540632173487.weebly.com/2/post/2013/04/whisky-missouri-moonshine-18-months-aged.html"Heavy cinnamon, nutmeg, I mean heavy with a chewy rye bread, and almost dark cocoa and almond like flavor to it. Oak is a minor player in this game but the flavor of the whiskey is big, bold, and quite delightful."I agree oak is not a big flavor contributor in this young whiskey.
