Tasting Notes

Forget what you think you know about flavored whiskey. Hinterhaus Distillery's spirit isn't just honey-flavored bourbon, it's an experience. The first whiff brings unexpected notes of aged oak, bright orange, and a whisper of cedar, hinting at something more than simple sweetness. The honey is there, of course, coating the palate with a luscious, viscous texture, but it's intertwined with subtle herbs and baking spices, creating a complex, almost potpourri-like character. The finish lingers with a touch of old furniture and the honey sweetness, making it almost cloying. While not for the faint of heart, this spirit offers a unique twist, best enjoyed in cocktails where its sweetness can be balanced with a sour element.
