All that sits before me is a boon. Gifted by a man as big and kind as they grow in the great state of Missouri..... Must be something in the moonshine they feed the kids.  Thank you Bryan Siddle of Crown Valley for this one. This is a Moonshine sitting at 90 proof and barrel aged for 18 months with a bit of a twist, and I like twists. So let's get down to brass tax and dig into this baby.

Appearance: Pale straw gold with decent size leggings.  Not the 160 proof like Mama use to make but still pretty.

Aroma: Straw, mint, light vanilla notes with almost a rye bread like character. You can tell this is a young whisky but I like how it is developing.

Flavor: Heavy cinnamon, nutmeg, I mean heavy with a chewy rye bread, and almost dark cocoa and almond like flavor to it. Oak is a minor player in this game but the flavor of the whiskey is big, bold, and quite delightful.

Mouthfeel: Light tannin strike upfront, sitting heavy on the tongue with and oil like body, and finishes mellow and warm.

My thanks again Bryan, I am going to get my self some fine tobacco and enjoy this true Missouri style in Michigan! Cheers!
