Final Thoughts:

Timber Craft Whiskey is a new distillery based out of Big Spring, Texas. Their flagship offering is a 98 proof 5-year straight whiskey sourced from Indiana, appropriately named ninety-eight. Right off the bat, the whiskey hits you in the face with cherry vanilla Coke. It takes over the nose in the best way possible, along with strawberry jam and a hit of baking spices. The whiskey brings out a tart pomegranate on the palate, complemented by tobacco and buttered croissant, before leading into a lingering cherry Garcia ice cream on the finish. Without a doubt, the best aspect of this whiskey is the nose. The intense cherry, rich vanilla, and creamy marshmallow makes this whiskey extremely appealing before even taking a sip. At 5 years there is enough oak coming through on the palate to take away any youthful notes that you might find in other craft whiskey brands. If you enjoy a rich, creamy, fruit forward whiskey, then look no further than Timber Craft.
