Hinterhaus Trapper’s Oath 18 Year (Batch 2)
Accompanied by a unique flavor combination, Trapper’s Oath is an interesting 18 year old Canadian rye whiskey from Hinterhaus Distillery. The whiskey is finished in ex-stout beer casks that also aged the company’s Hinterhaus Bourbon, creating a rare flavor. With a smattering of rye spice, white grapes, nutmeg, chamomile tea, coffee beans, cocoa powder, extra dark chocolate, dry leather, lemon zest, baking chocolate, a touch of oak, cornbread, and a slightly bitter and tannic finish, Trapper’s Oath offers an exciting journey through unique flavors.
Though it’s not without some flaws that bring it down from a home run, the value is very good for such a unique whiskey; priced at $127, there won’t be anything quite like it on your shelf. All in all, Trapper’s Oath is a worthwhile purchase if you’re looking for something truly unique.
