American Whiskey Sample Shootout - 2 Interesting Non-Bourbon American Whiskies

Hello Folks, finally cracking into the samples that my friend ‪@the_whiskeyshaman‬ sent over to the channel. I thought I would shootout 2 non-bourbon samples that I was very keen to try. Tonight we will be trying out the Ironroot Republic Harbinger Plantation Rum Cask vs The JT Meleck Rice Whiskey. Both are unique in their own right with great profiles. I'll sample them and give you my thoughts and opinion on both. So drop in and share a dram with me!
Cheers!

I love the idea of these going head to head. Texas bs Louisiana. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@SeawayWhiskyWire]

Thanks Man! Both were tremendous drams, just was so impressed by the rice whiskey flavour being so unique I couldn’t over look it. Thanks for the comment and checking out my content. Cheers!

Love head to head or comparison videos. I think it sharpens the differences. Love Ironroot, though I have not had their Rum Cask. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Jon, both were great expression but the JT was just more for my pallet that day. Thanks for the comment. Looking forward to your video on the Offerman Edition as I has a bottle coming in from out west. Cheers.

Love it brother. I think I sent you the single barrel JT Meleck. If so it’s 60% abv. Either way they are both really good. Glad you enjoyed cheers.

Thanks Randal, if it is 60% it certainly did not drink like it. Very impressive spirit from both, just preferred the JT. Thanks again for sending these up!

Had a sample of a Meleck single barrel pick, fantanstic pour.

Have only had Japanese rice whisky, nothing North American...yet.
It's just recently beginning to show up from a few craft distillers. Looking forward to trying it at some stage. That, and oat whisky. 🤔
Weekend's shaping up nicely here, hope yours is as well!
Cheers Tyler 🥃😊🥃

Thanks for the comment, Marian!! The sun is finally out this afternoon in the Seaway. I'm definitely going to take advantage of it and enjoy the patio. Cheers to you and the weekend.

Last Straw has a Rice whisky, very good but a little pricey and only 90 proof.
