Black Butte Whiskey

This current batch began with a Black Butte Porter wash brewed three years ago at Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon. The uniqueness here is the abundance of chocolate malts which were used, adding an extremely atypical flair to the ingredients list that will ultimately become whiskey. It was then distilled and aged for three years in American oak at Bendistillery, just down the road from the brewery which crafted its wash.

Black Butte Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Cardamom-like exotic spice note, which plays wonderfully off the musky, perfumey balanced hints of oak. A sweetness comes from the barrel character as well, reminiscent of a vanilla ice cream stout float. The overall nose is warm and inviting without pervasive alcohol or aggressive wood. As I acclimate to the profile, a papaya-like soft fruit nuance also arises.

Palate: There’s the chocolate! A healthy dose of unsweetened baker’s chocolate emerges from all stages of this liquid on the palate. A dry nuttiness carries the undertone, bringing a toasted hazelnut flavor through short gaps in the cocoa cloud formations. Once the cocoa/toast flavors subside, a breath of tradition brings the flavors of orange creamsicle and sticky toffee to the tongue.

Finish: Rich and warm.
