Catskill Provisions New York Honey Whiskey

This IS interesting. I'm not sure it's a 90 for me, but it certainly is a unique effort that pays off in a good way - and this coming from someone who views flavored whiskey with extreme skepticism. It's a fine rye... that happens to have honey throughout, especially on the finish. Amusing and rather delightful, like pulling honeysuckle blossoms off the vine and licking the ends while swigging an adult beverage. That said, drinking a full 2oz without cutting it ended up a bit too sweet. But I think if you dumped a shot of this into champagne or properly sour lemonade you'd have heaven. Even an ice cube might be enough to tip the scales. Going to go try that now, excuse me...

I've had this on a shelf since before the pandemic hit and decided to finally open it. It's a surprisingly smooth and tasty flavored whiskey. On the nose is honey, brown sugar, dried hay, dried leaves, subtle smoke. On the palate: mellow honey and subtle sweetness, light brown sugar, baking spices. For the finish: mellow and dry, caramel candy, very subtle honey, burnt toast, and earthy-dusty notes that remind me of Lagavulin.

I have never been a fan of flavored whiskies. THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT. Super smooth, light (real honey) sweetness throught

Not spicy enough for a rye in my opinion, the honey is evident but perhaps mutes the flavor a little bit.

Very smooth. Not too sweet which was a pleasant surprise.

Great in an old fashioned.
