Hudson Whiskey Short Stack Maple Syrup Barrel Finished, 46%
The nose is fruity and chalky with notes of orange peel, clementine, orange Tic Tac, plus Tang orange drink mix when water is added. That profile continues onto the palate where a creamy texture conveys spiced-orange slices and yogurt-covered raisins. The finish is mouth-coating, with an added kick of spice and satisfactory length. The flavors here are perhaps a bit unexpected given the finish, but they’re consistent and controlled throughout.
