Barrel Hitch American Whiskey
Eastside Distilling Tasting Note
Barrel Hitch is an american whiskey bottled at 80 proof – The brainchild of two professional women with a passion for spirits, Master Distiller Mel Heim and Chief Branding Officer Carrie Earles, Barrel Hitch American Whiskey embodies the idea that all whiskey is not created equal. Whiskey is a complex, layered spirit that does not need embellishing for the sake of inclusion. What is more tempting than brown sugar and vanilla? Buttery oak and a silky body? Barrel Hitch was created with one goal in mind: Let’s make a whiskey for everyone. Bottled at 80 proof, Barrel Hitch American Whiskey hits the mark with a smooth body and notes of toasted oak, green apple and vanilla. This remarkable profile is the result of a meticulous blending process of numerous finished whiskey sources. This step is a crucial part of exacting the whiskey as every barrel contributes a unique scent, flavor, mouth feel and color that ultimately must be balanced for consistency and quality.
Market Wired Tasting Note
Clean grain with subtle earthy, grassy notes. Covers entire palate with a comforting spice similar to cardamom. The oak opens with dessert tannins like vanilla and lends the subtlety of honeycomb. The flavor takes a pleasant turn towards dry, cured oak and warm caramel. This is a wonderfully balanced sipping whiskey that is low octane and truly original.
