Alright, tell the kids to leave the room, because it’s serious whiskey time.
Description: “Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey with natural flavors.”. The bottle comes is a cool brown version of the iconic Crown bag, too. We liked it better than “regular” Crown, and I imagine this pairing well with a cigar. The whiskey itself is more of a drier, nuttier experience, and does not align with the initial smell, since it’s much more subtle and strong. This variety is nice and strong, and sweet maple is all in the smell. Truthfully, I am not a fan of Crown Royal and generally don’t have it in my home bar. Description: “Fine DeLuxe Maple Flavored Whisky.”. It seems like a great fit in a hot, boozy tea this winter – I’m working on a recipe right now. It dominates your palate, it’s creamy, it’s rich, and from start to finish, this is a butterscotch experience. The flavor experience with Cabin Fever can be summed up in one word: butterscotch. Description: “A 3 year old whisky that is infused with real grade B dark maple.”. Surprisingly, though, while maple gets all up in your senses, the flavor that gets delivered to your tongue is much more tame, which may also be because most of these (unlike their Bee brethren) are 40% ABV or higher.
These whiskeys are no different: just an open bottle of one of these is enough to fill your entire house with the smell of maple. I imagine you’ve experienced the fact that the smell of maple really dominates the air when you’ve got some out. Just as an educational note, there is a very blurry line between whether these are, by definition, flavored whiskies or strong liqueurs, since they usually have added sugars as well. Today, the Trees get the spotlight as maple is a fairly new whiskey flavor that’s gaining popularity. Trees, in which I taste a bunch of honey whiskies (the Bees) and maple whiskies (the Trees).
