Neither a true cider nor a real whiskey, this saccharine concoction is the Hallmark Christmas Movie of wintry adult beverages— a low-budget imitation that tries to pour on sickening sweetness to make up for its abysmal quality. Notes of Robitussin and corn syrup give way to a potpourri of artificial fall flavorings on the finish that make you long for a tall glass of water to wash away the regret. The frustratingly low proof further removes any reason for this to exist. Save your money and buy a couple of 6-packs of actual hard cider.
About this bottle
Evan Williams Kentucky Cider is a seasonal release for fall, available starting in September. This 34-proof bourbon-based liqueur is made from blending Kentucky Straight Bourbon with apple cider liqueur; like a pre-bottled ciderhouse whiskey cocktail. (Technically, this is a liqueur, not a flavored whiskey).

An interesting little concoction. If you're looking for an actual whiskey, then avoid this. If you're looking for something novel to drink around the winter holidays, then this is the ticket. Be warned, the cider flavor is not like an Angry Orchard or WoodChuck. It's more like that old-style cider with a lot of spice. Tastes best hot on a ridiculously cold day.
This shit is so good it’s stupid. The aroma is very fall candle spice but hot damn drink this warm or on an iced cocktail. And for $9.99
I get a bottle of this every Christmas. Very sweet but festive. Not too strong but easy to drink.
Great taste to it, has a bit little bite to it, I prefer this over the jack Daniel’s cider
a little too sweet but really good. one of the few my wife will sip with me.
