Time for another Dram!
A peach-flavoured American Whiskey, great in cocktails.
Fireside Peach Flavored Whiskey
A bit about
It has 40% ABV and it's described as a Palisade peach-flavoured 'not-too-sweet bourbon'.
It is produced and bottled by Mile High Spirits in Denver, Colorado, using Fireside Bourbon and cut with Rocky Mountain water.
Fireside Bourbon is distilled in a copper still using grains and corn grown in Colorado with the barrels being aged for at least two years.
Time to try it
Nose: an abundance of ripe peaches and vanilla, overall very sweet.
Taste: Super fruity and pleasantly sweet without being too overpowering. I expected it to be sweeter based on the smell, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Finish: Medium with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Pros and cons
It has worked wonders in any cocktail I have tried so far with it - Old-fashioned, Manhattan, Whiskey Sour, Peach & Mint Julep and even a Boulevardier.
In small measures, it's quite nice served neat or with a couple of ice cubes, but I prefer it in cocktails.
In conclusion
Priced at around $30, I think it's a nice drink to have, especially if you're a fan of bourbon or whisky-based cocktails.
If you're a fan of Scottish Whiskies, especially peatier ones, then this might not be the drink for you.
*As a small disclaimer, I have no idea where this Whiskey can be purchased in the UK as this was a gift from a wonderful friend and whisky enthusiast (a massive Thank You for that !) who discovered this while on holiday in the US. If anyone manages to find it in the UK, please let me know in the comments below.
As always, please drink responsibly.
