Tasting Notes

About:

4-year old New York State rye whiskey made from locally sourced grains. Wildflower honey is sourced from farms in Saratoga Springs, New York. Lemons don’t typically grow in New York, but the supplier is based there to minimize the shipping footprint. Real lemon juice, not from concentrate. Sparkling water. Sea salt. Canned and packed by Siponey in Saratoga Springs, New York. 7.25% ABV. $49.99 for a 355ml eight-pack.
Appearance:
Pale yellow like lemon water with fizz.
Nose:
It smells like honey, happiness and everything sunny.
Palate:
It’s not syrupy like a soft drink or whiskey made with soda. It has a very pleasant mouthfeel and fizz. The honey is very forward so you must like honey in order to enjoy this beverage. You can even taste the lemon, which helps balance the sweetness. It’s almost like those Japanese paper candies. Just melts in your mouth.
Finish:
Comments:
It’s very refreshing and easy to drink. If you like soda water and whiskey this is something to take with you when others might opt for a beer. It’s a great summer sipping beverage. If you run a little warm year round, you may also like it in the winter. I have a preference for honey as a sweetener over others so this was perfect for me as you can taste the sweetness but it’s not like a typical soda or mixed drink you would get in a bar.rnrnI’m a big fan of all these cocktails in cans as I would much prefer this grab and go to a cider or beer. As whiskey lovers, you might agree.
