J.J Neukomm Missouri Malt Whiskey

This one, from Square One Brewery and Distillery in Saint Louis, seems to be the least cherrywood-heavy of the three, with only 25% cherry-smoked malt; the rest of the mash bill is unsmoked malted barley. It’s a single-barrel expression aged in Missouri oak and bottled at 45% ABV. It’s also the cheapest of the bunch.

J.J Neukomm Missouri Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose opens quite sweet, heavy with butterscotch, honey, and vanilla. There’s just a hint of smoke, along with a light white pepper note and some grain, but with just a cursory sniff.

Palate: On the palate, it’s more savory, with more white pepper, some smoke, and a sturdier grain note.

Finish: A decent amount of oak on the finish
