The fantastic FEW Bourbon, packed full of toffee, clove, vanilla and warming spice goodness! This splendid craft beauty comes presented in a gorgeous bottle adorned with a label showing off some local heritage, depicting a scene from the Chicago World’s Fair of 1892. A vibrant spirit drink filled to the brim with character.
FEW Spirits hails from Evanston in the United States of America, a city that suffered Prohibition for over one hundred years thanks to many of its advocates hailing from its dry streets. Thankfully Evanston is now home to this excellent craft distillery which takes its name ironically from the initials of Frances Elizabeth Willard, a key figure in the Temperance Movement.
Cloves, vanilla and caramel form a rich and spicy aroma.
The flavour is sweet with notes of toffee and caramel with spicy notes of cardamom and cloves.
The finish is long and lingering with warmer spice notes tingling until the very end.
This is a spicy sip indeed, and great for it!
Young and far to bitter in not a good way. The balance is off. It is a shame that it didn't spend more time in barrel, because it has interesting range of flavours, unfortunately bitterness overpowers them. I can only give it 2.5 stars because of the premium price.
This is definitely a different taste for a bourbon. It does grow on you, though.
a nicely balanced, smooth bourbon with delicate spices and lots of toffee. warming medium finish and nice mouthfeel. More of a craft bourbon than something like Eagle or Weller.. still its a nice drink and fine without water. struth
Very oily, a glass clinger. A rich buttery vanilla mixes with a firm hit of spice on the first sniff, gingerbread and malt. The rich vanilla and toffee continues in the mouth, before you're hit like a ten ton truck with the spice. A real tongue tingler, like you've had a mouthful of madras, little chilli heat comes through along with the all spice. Long finish, you're just left with burnt caramel and that lingering spice. If you like a spicy dram, this is the one for you, but it's not that well balanced, the spice is too overpowering, dominating all the other flavours. Not for me.
The comments about it being a young bourbon and tasting like it are spot on. It has a pleasing nose and the spice and Carmel are there in spades. High alcohol taste without the high alcohol somehow, it has quite a burn at the back of the tongue, and it stays on your tongue without water. I’d recommend a drop or two of water in a tasting glass to open it up and smooth it out.
