J. Mattingly Small Batch Light Whiskey (BTB)

A high-proof Light Whiskey, aged in used oak, delivering lush corn sweetness. Rich butterscotch and warming vanilla notes lead to a smooth, inviting finish. From the esteemed legacy of J Mattingly 1845 Distillery emerges a testament to refined American whiskey making: the Small Batch Light Whiskey. This exceptional spirit embodies a commitment to heritage and masterful craftsmanship, meticulously distilled in small batches to ensure unparalleled quality. Aged in used oak, a deliberate choice that allows the vibrant character of the corn-forward mash bill to shine without the overwhelming influence of new wood, it develops a distinctive profile. The result is a high-proof expression that captivates with its lush sweetness, harmoniously balanced by decadent notes of butterscotch and a comforting warmth of vanilla. It's an invitation to experience a uniquely nuanced whiskey, crafted for the discerning palate seeking depth, complexity, and a truly authentic spirit. **Product Details** • ABV: 58.5% • Proof: 117 • Age: Not specified • Size: .375L **Tasting Notes** • Nose: Sweet corn fields, delicate caramel, hint of vanilla bean. • Palate: Velvety corn sweetness, rich butterscotch, soft baking spices. • Finish: Long, warming, with lingering vanilla and a touch of oak. **Perfect For** Cocktails: Light Whiskey Old Fashioned (J.
