Tasting Whiskey JYPSI Legacy Batch 002: ‘The Alchemist’
“We got an early taste of the new expression from Church’s Whiskey JYPSI brand. Keep your eyes peeled for our full review. In the meantime, here is our initial impression:
Nose: Sweet, creamy and complex. Big-time almond, maple and caramel cake notes on the nose are joined by pleasant oak, tobacco, a big hit of clove, cracked pepper, cinnamon and pine.
Taste: Thick, chewy mouthfeel that brings some manageable heat. The palate is rich, sweet and confectionary. There’s plenty of almond and caramel here again, joined by a big, sweet cherry danish note and undercurrents of pepper, clove, peppermint, tobacco and oak.
Finish: Long finish. It kicks off with tobacco, then goes into sweet and fruity territory with cherries and sweet blueberry pie. It settles into a sweet and savory profile with pleasant oak, brown sugar-glazed bacon, sweet butterscotch and brioche.
Overall: Whiskey JYPSI sticks the landing once again. This thrilling, complex and delightful pour is rich, balanced and delicious. JYPSI has now gone three for three on dynamic whiskey releases.
At this point, it’s readily apparent that this is no beginner’s luck — Church’s Whiskey JYPSI is quickly establishing itself as one of the best and most exciting young whiskey brands in America — celebrity or otherwise.
We can’t wait to see what’s next.”
