Wyoming Whiskey’s newest single barrel hit on the finish of 2022. As normal we’re late to reviewing, however, as we are going to agree, higher than by no means, proper?
As with its prior Single Barrel releases, this whiskey is drawn from the highest 1% of Wyoming’s manufacturing, and every bottle is exclusive, pulled from a single barrel saved in one in all Wyoming’s 6 rickhouses, with the barrel ID denoted on the label. Carrying a 5 yr previous age assertion, it’s as all the time a wheated bourbon, bottled at 48% abv.
Wyoming’s Single Barrel choices are all the time a deal with, and this 2022 expression is not any exception to that rule. Candy however not overdone on the nostril, aromas characteristic a daring peanut butter and honey notice, barely corny however with a Honeycomb cereal high quality. A wholesome spray of gingerbread spice and a evenly floral incense notice emerge with just a little time in glass, although this doesn’t take lots of effort to evoke.
The palate feels youthful however not too younger, candy however once more not overblown. Peanut butter turns to peanut brittle, ringed with milk chocolate, toasted coconut, and extra of that honey high quality. There’s a spicier bent to the end, although it isn’t overwhelming, with a good barrel char affect exhibiting as properly. The wooden is toasty however by no means overdone, and in contrast to in prior years, none of this comes throughout as smoky or savory. Whereas 2021’s launch was a extra brooding, savory expression, 2022 sees Wyoming Single Barrel taking a number of steps again towards the dessert cart. I feel that’s a nice factor.
96 proof. Reviewed: Barrel #6471.
