Distilled by Sounds Spirits in Seattle, WA this American Single Malt Whiskey is named after a famous Seattleite from the 19th century who managed a popular hotel and could cuss in six languages. Madame Damnable (a.k.a. Mary Ann Conklin) was an early Seattle settler. She ran the city’s first hotel and was rumored to run a brothel upstairs (the \”Madame\” part). Having married the captain of a whaling ship, she could curse in five different languages (the \”damnable\” part). Legend has it that she was an ornery old cuss.
This was my #4 out of a dozen single malts I reviewed here. Distilled twice in pot stills, it\’s aged in new 30 gallon, #3 char barrels for at least three years.

Madame Damnable American Single Malt Whiskey 44%/88proof $29.95 375ml
Nose is rising rye bread with white pepper and hazelnut.
Flavors of rye toast moss and black cardamom with a spicy rye finish that burned a little bit.
Few drops of water took off the excess spicy bite. Finish of modest peat smoke and caramel.
Another fine example of the up and coming American Single Malt trend here in the Pacific Northwest.
