Reservoir Wheat Whiskey Year II, Batch 2

Wow that's a small barrel whiskey! Only 2 years old and more like 12 years dark with a nose stuffed full of oak char steamy mint and hot vanilla. You know it's wheat in the mouth; despite the aggressive nose and the heat you do get this is still pretty friendly stuff for 50%: sweet dough mint and more oak. But the finish roars in real hot and a bit astringent ruining the moment and water doesn't help.
