Review & Tasting Notes
The history of American whiskey began taking shape when Scottish settlers brought their malt whiskey techniques and illicit stills to a fledgling America, where Rye whiskey was making its name as the nations first homegrown spirit. The coming together of Old World tradition and New World agriculture helped lay the foundation for a whiskey revolution.
Convergence Whiskey embodies this rich history, combining rye and single malt whiskeys into a distinctive blend, which rests in a Malbec wine cask for its signature finish. This cask resting process allows time and tradition to merge into one uniquely blended whiskey that honors both classic and modern whiskey making techniques.
| Tasting Notes | |
|---|---|
| Color | Cloudy Amber |
| Nose | Sourdough/rye with a nice toffee overlay. Red wine and a maple sweetness on the nose. |
| Palate | Maple syrup sweet with dark fruits come to life as more sourdough rises to the occassion.More toffee gives a silky smooth feel on the palate with a malty grassy note to round it out. |
| Finish | The finish concludes with a maple bar donut, possibly even the candy Bit-O-Honey. More rye/sourdough and dark fruit give this a nice medium long finish |
