Nose

The nose is sweet and rich. Notes of warm baking spices are accompanied by faint hints of clove and honey. After some time in the glass, notes of smoked brown sugar and toasted oak begin to appear.

Palate

The first sip has a medium viscosity that coats the mid and font palate. A distinct sweetness is complimented by notes of vanilla and toasted oak. The second sip warms the palate with a toasted candy sweetness. Baking spices and vanilla are the most prominent notes. The third sip coats he entire palate with notes of allspice, clove, cinnamon, and faint hints of hay.

Finish

The finish is long and pleasant. A slight oak bitterness quickly transitions into notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and allspice. As the finish begins to fade, faint notes of honey and clove begin to appear.

In closing

The Huling Station Straight Wheat Whiskey has a rich nose that will entice you with its warm baking spice notes. This whiskey has a medium viscosity that is complimented by notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and faint hints of clove. The finish is long, sweet, and pleasant. This wheat whiskey is unique and delicious. This spirit is packed full of flavor and would be perfect for any collection.
