I tasted this Single Barrel Wheated Bourbon at Saratoga Whiskey Club Tasting # 66: American Whiskey. It was distilled on 11 Nov 2014; and there were 184 bottles in this outturn (120 for the USA), the first SMWS bottling from Finger Lakes Distilling. The mash bill was 70% corn, 20% wheat, 10% malted barley. Tasting notes from the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society: Feeling like an explorer we found ourselves in a tropical greenhouse of palm trees, ferns and cycads but also orchids and begonias while sipping a Vasco da Gama cocktail which combines bourbon, scotch and garam masala-spiced apple syrup. An amazing texture, so silky smooth and creamy with that little spice in the background - very moreish! Does not need water but when we added a drop more homely plants arrived on the nose, like blooming gorse, geraniums and river reeds. The taste simply sublime; a light-as-air sponge cake with plenty of maple syrup and orange cream filling laced with a little ginger.
