Jacob’s Ghost White Whiskey

This was barrel-aged for a year then “brightened” to white clarity; just the slightest hint of amber remains. But the aging has taken away the shouty greenness of new make; the nose is clean a light blend of corn and woodsy vanilla. Sweet flavors bubble on the tongue: coconut circus peanuts peanut butter fudge vanilla jellybeans. The finish lingers in corn and rye. There’s more than meets the eye here and it’s priced for impulsive experimentation.
