The Distillarium Cask & Slide 750ml

The Distillarium Cask & Slide is a 750ml whiskey from a small, low-profile producer, and the label keeps its cards close: no age statement, no stated grain bill, no distillery pedigree. That puts the weight on the pour itself, which sits in the approachable middle of the category. The nose is vanilla and light caramel; the palate is soft and sweet, with baked apple, toffee and a toasted cereal note underneath; the finish is short, warm and lightly oaked. Nothing here asks for ceremony or a special glass. Pour it over one big cube, or send it into a highball with soda and a lemon twist.
