The Tunbridge Wells Liqueur Company Maple Whiskey Liqueur, 50 cl

Product Information

As the leaves change color and the air becomes crisp, there's nothing quite like the taste of maple to evoke the feeling of fall. Place a large ice cube in a tumbler and fill the tumbler with applewood smoke using the smoking gun. Bourbon, on the other hand, is a type of whiskey that is made from corn and aged in charred oak barrels. It has a distinct smoky flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of maple syrup. If you like whiskey and wine separately, you’re going to love them together in one glass. If you need a stiff drink after the holiday crazies, this is it. Please let me know how you like the recipe in the comments section! Fresh Lime Juice - Another tip that takes this drink from ordinary to spectacular is using freshly squeezed juice. Boxed fresh juice in the cooler section is your next best bet. I don't recommend canned juice or syrup. Buy extra limes for garnishing with lime wedges, wheels or a slice of lime.

All of these whiskeys are going to taste great, but what is your preferred way to drink it? Do you want to be able to drink it neat? If so, it should be delicious to sip on its own, the flavors detectable. Are you more inclined to use it in a mixed drink capacity? If so, you might want a whiskey whose flavors are prominent or that can stand up to other ingredients. This bourbon is awesome. To avoid the risk of an overly sweet product, Knob Creek cleverly combined their already fantastic bourbon with maple and just a little bit of smoke. The smoke smooths over all the rough edges and makes for an unforgettably nuanced experience. A good whiskey will impart the aromas of the beverage without smelling overly of alcohol. You should be able to detect, via smell, the essence of the whiskey itself along with the flavors that have been added to it.If you’ve enjoyed broadening your horizons, maybe open yourself up to the idea of other tried and tested flavor combinations. Most of the providers in this list don’t stop at maple and offer other twists on their original whiskey. Maple Flavor– Does the maple function as a rich expression of the traditional flavor, or is it simply there to offer a sugary sweetness? Sweeter maple whiskeys are good for those with less experience drinking neat spirits but could be a little underwhelming for a veteran looking for a more nuanced palate.

This is perfect beneath the stars with s’mores and pals. It also goes great in coffee for a winter warmer. The sweetness is still subtle and is not what drives the drink, and it’s probably the whiskey that leans most towards a traditional bourbon on this cheat sheet. The subtle maple in the Canadian whiskeys relies less on sugary sweetness and pairs well with vanilla ice cream. And naturally, it’s a hit when drizzled over pancakes in the morning. Sortilege Prestige is the premium version and while regular Sortilege represents excellent value for money. it may be worth pushing the boat out here. Prestige is made with seven-year-old rye matured in white oak barrels- and this gives it a whiskey woodiness that isn’t as strong in the more straightforward original.Buskshot offers a twist on the fad of maple whiskey: a fiery pepper finish. The burn from the pepper balances out the sweetness from the maple which leads to a well-balanced whiskey. While not the smoothest bourbon out there, it isn’t supposed to be. This rustic offering won’t disappoint anyone interested in a little pepper to finish off their maple.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate. Many seasoned whiskey drinkers turn their noses to the sky at the mere mention of "flavored whiskey"—and it's easy to see why. Most expressions on shelves at your local liquor store are less than good, despite being immensely popular. Tequila - The obvious but worth stating that the flavors in tequila really go spectacularly with lime so don't swap this ingredient for anything else. Best for: the maple purist. A+ Quebec maple is front and center here and sets the bar with its subtle yet rewarding palate. For the bacon flavor, fry one rasher of streaky bacon until crisp and snap it in half. Blend one half and add to 2oz of maple whiskey.

Use brandy. Split the bourbon with a quality apple brandy to add apple into the flavor palate of the drink. However, there are people who have concerns about consuming raw eggs. No worries; making sours without eggs is fabulous. Many people enjoy a maple whiskey sour with egg whites because they add a beautiful head of foam to the top of the glass. Dip the rim of your glassware in a small bit of maple syrup, and then into cinnamon sugar. It adds a perfectly sweet touch to a bourbon sour! Combine 1oz of your chosen maple whiskey with 1 oz spiced rum and 4oz of good quality warm apple cider.
