Bourbon Bourbon - Candy Cane
What do you get when you combine bourbon (whiskey) and bourbon (biscuits)? You get Bourbon Bourbon. That's just how maths works. Next question: what happens when you add candy canes to that equation? You get Bourbon Bourbon Candy Cane, of course! We've checked all our sums, and this is the result – a lip-smacking, festively-themed, deliciously surprising spirit made with Kentucky bourbon, dark chocolate, vanilla, and peppermint, alongside with actual bourbon biscuits and real candy canes! It's one of those flavour combos that you don't really see coming, but there is definitely a flavour triangle there. Mint and chocolate is good. Chocolate and bourbon is good. Bourbon and mint is good (hence why the Mint Julep is so popular). When you look at it like that, you're left thinking, "Oh, well yeah, this totally makes sense. How'd this not happen before?"
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Brilliantly chocolatey – freshly baked brownies and chocolate buttons. A waft of fresh mint sweetness cuts through the richness, before diving back into rounded vanilla and caramel.
Palate
Soft butterscotch and oak warmth up front, followed shortly by mint chocolate chip ice cream in a wafer cone, with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. A hint of malty, biscuity chocolate develops a smidge later.
Finish
Quite buttery on the finish, with light hints of peppermint leaf sticking around.
Overall
The bold introduction of candy cane minty notes most definitely makes for a tasty twist on this already cracking combo.
