A light-bodied whiskey that’s perfect for sipping. This award-winning whiskey went surprisingly well with the homemade apple pie I was eagerly devouring in place of dinner. So well in fact, that the next day I enjoyed another delicious round, this time on ice with a few splashes of apple juice. It was a nice break from the bolder, fuller-bodied bourbons I usually lean towards, and the crisp apple complimented the sweetness of the whiskey really well.rnrnThis Premium Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey worked wonders in my cocktails, but it also has a tasty flavor profile that allows you to savor it solo as well. Just make sure to enjoy it on your day off, because after three or four drinks of this whiskey, it will start to taste like you aren’t going to work tomorrow anyway!
