Noob Review #4 - Holladay Soft Red Wheat, Rickhouse Proof

Hey everyone! I'm back with another noob review! Here for all of your unrefined pallete reviews :)

As of now I have been trying whiskey for 1 months with bottles such as JD SBBP Rye, Still Austin Musician, Four Roses, Buffalo Trace, Macallan 12 and more.

All reviews are unbiased and funded by me. They are all drank neat In today's review, we are looking at the Holladay Soft Red Wheat: Rickhouse Proof

Price: $71.99 750ml (Texas Total Wine) Cup: Cylinder, short Proof: 119.8 Noob Flavor Rating: 4.8/5 Noob Value Rating: 4.8/5

Mash Bill: Corn 73% | Wheat 15% | Barley 12%

Wow... that's what I have to say. From my first sip to the last, I just said WOW. With a big stupid smirk on my face like I was just told that I did a good job by someone. Just... Wow

The flavor... Spice, some type of sweetness (vanilla, baking spice), and slight oak taste. I honestly can't go more in depth because I was just admiring the smooth taste so much. At a rickhouse proof it has some kick but it marries heat with flavor so well, it's actually astonishing to me. Look, this puppy burns a bit, not as much as JD SBBP Rye at 127 Proof but still, has a little heat. However, once it opened up, MY GOD, no water needed, no ice, just pure brown water GOODNESS. This is hands down one of the best whiskeys I have had to date, only recently dethroned by Bardstown Disco #8.

The aroma... A soft spice, almost that of a cinnamon baked good. It's very easy on the nose and makes you salivate a little bit.

Everyone needs to try this at least once, I'm sorry, not try, experience this. It's such a delicious pour and such a smooth, hotish, pour. It's like a warm blanket for your mouth on a frigid day. It's what all whiskey should aspire to be in some sense. I'm sure there are other magical pours but at $70?? I'd be hard pressed.

Overall, if you find this buy it NOW, stop thinking and just do. Fantastic bottle and I'm sad I have to drink it all lol, it was hard to find!

Overall Noob Rating: 4.8/5

Cheers friends 🥃🔥
