Nickel on the Grass American Single Malt Whisky

To fighter pilots, a nickel is worth much more than five cents. Throwing a “Nickel on the Grass” has become a universal toast to the courage and sacrifice of fallen pilots. To those legendary spirits, we salute you and the blue skies forever.

Nose:
Like the promise of a roaring engine, the nose takes off with notes of cherry pie, fig, and lemon zest. Graham cracker and juicy raisin punch through the clouds, giving way to arboreal honey and rich sandalwood.

First Sip:
A complex mix of fruit and spice soar with the first sip. Bright, earthy, and floral notes cruise at high altitude with tropical notes of pineapple.

Body:
The medium body maneuvers gracefully across the palate, balancing a silky texture with notes of grapefruit, anise, and tobacco. Let it ride for a gentle front-palate afterburn with notes of candied ginger, baking spice, and tea leaves.

Finish:
The finish is a gentle and smoldering descent into notes of crème brûlée, almonds, and sweet pipe smoke. The landing leaves a lasting impression, touching down gently with lingering flavors of strawberry, cacao nibs, and malt.
