Tasting: 3 “Whiskey War” bottles from High Bank Distillery (Barrel Proof, Midnight Cask) bourbon cocktails
Midnight Cask is a genuinely unique bottle, and one I really struggled to wrap my head around the first time I poured a sample and put my nose to the glass. My consternation came from a mistaken assumption–I saw the word “port” and assumed “Okay, this is a blended whiskey finished in port casks.” But no, that’s not it at all. Rather, this is a blend of bourbon and rye, that is then, rather than finished with a secondary maturation in those casks.
Immediately on pouring Midnight Cask, it would be apparent to any whiskey drinker that some kind of fortified wine must be involved, because it pours one of the deepest shades of red I’ve ever seen, straight up mahogany in hue. The nose throws off a huge amount of butterscotch candies, along with buttered popcorn, dried fruit and nougat. It smells like someone fused a fruit-forward trail mix with a candy bar.
On the nose, this one has many of the same impressions as the regular Whiskey War, now layered with more assertive notes of caramelized sugars and a dusting of cocoa. The punchy and spicy rye-driven flavors are in full effect on the palate, as slightly resinous oak combines with explosive pepper and rye spice, clove, tobacco and dark/dried fruit.
