"Not shy on the nose, waves of burnt brown sugar and raw grain lend to the bourbons age and proof. A blast of spice delivered in a viscous mouth-coating sip brings a dose of heat that makes its way into the nooks and crannies of the mouth. A touch of barrel char along with light grain are present. The spice sticks around, making for a long lasting finish that develops into sweeter notes of molasses and caramel towards the end. A light trace of cinnamon also develops. It doesnt hide its age, allowing the younger grainy notes to show through though it finds its way beyond them in the finish."

About Iron Smoke Whiskey

Coming up with the idea for applewood-smoked whiskey was "like putting chocolate and peanut butter together" for the first time, according to Tommy Brunett.

The local musician and co-founder of Iron Smoke Distillery, along with partners Ron Kirshner and Steve Brown, started by experimenting in his backyard with the recipe. They poured corn whiskey over charred apple chunks until the end result tasted just right.

Iron Smoke Whiskey is the outcome of those backyard trials, and it first became available for sale two years ago. Rattlesnake Rosie's Apple Pie Whiskey, made with Geneva-based Red Jacket Orchards cider, was then released in March 2015.
