Wild Turkey American Honey

[pwhite]

Someone gave me a gift for my birthday of a bottle of Wild Turkey American Honey and told me it was a great pairing with a cigar.

Last night I had some on the rocks with a Bolivar Petit Corona. It was a first for both. The Bolivar was superb, I was very impressed. I also enjoyed the subtle whiskey flavor along with the sweetness. However, it might have been slightly overpowering. Wonder if anyone else has paired this drink with a smoke?

It was sweet, however, I think it brought out some great flavors in the Bolivar, a lot of leather and cream. I find sweet to pair well, chocolate for instance or even some ports are sweeter then others.

I'm not sure if it is available outside the UK but Famous Grouse do a whiskey liqueur infused with honey, spices and citrus, absolutely delish!

I found the sweetness overpowering. However, I purchased a bottle several years ago when it first came out. I hear it has been toned down since then. So, my opinion may be dated.

Found the American Honey sweet and tastes better straight from the freezer. For a while there is was one of my favourites.

Another one to try is Barenjager Honey Liqueur. Also great from the freezer, has a stronger alcohol kick but also very nice, one to try.
