Banana Runts candy (similar to the banana mallows) was the first note we picked out on the nose! That's what led us to put this whisky into a rum barrel!
For context: Downriver Rye is 80/20 rye and barley. Batch 1 is non-chill filtered. Batch 3 is chill filtered. Downriver Corn is 80/20 corn and barley. Batch 1 is non-chill filtered. Moving forward I believe they’ll be keep both non-chill filtered. No coloring. I love their whisky. The spirit is very fresh and sweet on both releases. Huge Banana Bread notes on the rye with some nice spices that fade on the finish while the sweetness lingers. There is a sour/bitter note that fits really well. Still dialing in my notes on the corn whisky. I found the rye took a bit to open up in the bottle while the corn was ready to go from the start. Very happy to see a review on their products as I’ve only seen one other review.
Hi Thomas, thanks for adding a lot of useful info. Great notes. I hope as well they refrain from chill filtering. But it’s nice they disclosed it. Sometimes proofing whisky adds some mist - they can combat that by releasing at higher strength. I hope the day comes when whisky lovers applaud a little opaqueness. Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃 Mark
@@WhiskyWhistle We’re slowly getting there as more and more whisky enthusiasts are becoming educated on the negative impact of flavor and color due to chill filtration. 🥃
Love that Palm Trees and a Tropical Breeze. I wish I could have picked up Lot 40 18 year old, but I'll just enjoy through your comments!

I should also note the oak is nicely balanced on both and some nice toffee notes on the rye while the vanilla shines through on the corn.

위스키위슬님 그 혹시 맥주도 좋아하세요??ㅇㅅㅇ
안녕하세요~ 그럼요 맥주 좋아합니다 ~ 보통 에일이나 페일에일 좋아하는데 다 좋습니다. 매운 한식 먹을 때 카스 같은 가벼운 라거도 좋아요.
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
