Leopold Bros. Michigan Cherry Whiskey

Smells weird, tastes like nyquil. I think this is good for cocktails, but I wouldn't drink it neat. Try mixing with a really peaty Islay for an interesting combination flavor.

It’s sweet. It’s cherry. Slight spice. As a cherry obsessed whiskey drinker I just had a mouth gasm. Regardless of the fact is sweeter than I normally drink.

Sour cherry taste with the warmth of a good whiskey. Different but good!

In the beginning it seemed very intriguing: natural juice matured with American whiskey for several months, an interesting aroma flavor. But eventually it appears to be disappointment, probably due to the expectations were a bit high. Concentrated cherry juice (more sour than sweet), some rye and classic American whiskey notes and (might be a result of mixing the previous two) a strong leather and asphalt aroma to the nose. But the taste is not that interesting and satisfying - what seemed to be a successful mixture turns out to be plain and inappropriate - the leather note does not quite correlate with an extremely sweet juice and whiskey so it may make a drinker feel uncomfortable. The finish and the aftertaste are the only things to be ultimately satisfying and pleasurable.

Great for a snowy night!
