Whippersnapper Oregon spirit whiskey is distilled and
bottled by Ransom Spirits and Sheridan Oregon. This whiskey is
63% corn neutral spirits, 21% rise spirits, and 16% barley spirits. What that
means is Ransom actually distilled 37% of the juice, and the rest was purchased most likely from MGP. According to their
website, “aging takes place in a variety of barrels, including used French
coopered pinot noir barrels, new American coopered whiskey barrels, and used
American whiskey barrels.” Whiskey is a long term expensive process, and I have no problem with the company being
open about doing something with a combination of sourced and distilled spirits
matter fact I think it’s pretty darn cool.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, aromas of popcorn, burnt
sugar, spice, and sawdust
Palate is medium intensity, smooth, warm texture, with flavors of vanilla, sawdust, caramel, and malted barley.
Finish is medium with some complexity.

For spirit as young as it is this has a rather large variety of flavors. It does come across the little bit youngish on the palate, but overall it’s quite tasty.
