Sure, the title of this whiskey is Tiger Thiccc. Sure, with three Cs. To name it distinctive can be an understatement: It’s a blended whiskey, constructed from 80% American bourbon (a 99% corn mash from Indiana’s MGP) and 20% Japanese whiskey (55% grain, 45% barley), all completed in a mizunara oak barrel. No age statements or extra particulars can be found, so let’s put all that apart — alongside with a Joe Rogan endorsement — and see what’s within the bottle.
Nicely rattling if it isn’t a fairly spectacular product, positively thicc, if not fairly thiccc, although. The nostril is fruit-heavy and fairly corny, however tempered by ample oak, lending it a soothing, virtually earthy woodiness. Breathe deep and a spearmint high quality comes into focus, with clear umami notes that could possibly be something from marinated mushroom to soy sauce.
This all comes collectively nicely on the palate, which kicks off with a contact of sweetness — lemon and orange, particularly — then takes a extra savory bent. Grassy, malty, and corny and virtually equal proportions, that citrus peel pops after a second on the tongue, infusing the extra earth-driven assault with some zesty fruit. The extra I sit with it, the extra unique it will get, together with distinct touches of garam masala, coconut, and a chocolate be aware on the end.
That is a type of whiskeys the place I got here in with zero expectations and left a real convert. Ignore the gaudy bottle and take a look at it in an Previous Normal, a highball, or — as I’d suggest — by itself.
96 proof. Reviewed: Batch #2, 2022 version.
