Old Dominick Straight Tennessee Whiskey
Nose
Old Dominick Straight Tennessee Whiskey offers a unique nose of apricot, nectarine, orange, lemon, and mellow oak.
Palate
On the palate, this whiskey is surprisingly mellow, with notes of cantaloupe, green grapes, vanilla, and caramel.
Finish
The sip finishes with granola, walnut, light dryness, mellow oak, and a touch of smoke.
Overall
Overall, Old Dominick Straight Tennessee Whiskey is an impressively unique and pleasant sip. It does not suffer from any harsh notes and its 85 proof is perfect for easy sipping. Its fruit-forward nose is unlike anything we have ever seen before. The palate and the finish both have great complexity, though the whiskey could benefit from additional aging to further enhance its middle ground and body. In spite of this, we are happy with the whiskey as-is and are excited to see what else Old Dominick Distillery has in store.
