About this bottle

This expression from Endless Spirits is marketed as a "spirit whiskey with natural flavors". Though it never sees a barrel, a spirit is infused with chemicals developed in a flavor lab that are meant to mimic the flavor profile of whiskey, though it is unclear which category of whiskey. It is bottled at 86 proof.

Nose - Corn syrup sweetness, crushed Boo-Berry cereal, crushed Oops All Berries cereal, cotton candy, light fruity oil, crushed corn cereal. Taste - Sweet crushed corn cereal, hint of generic "spice" causing light tongue tingle, fake berry sweetness, Crunch Berries cereal, very thin mouthfeel, kids puffed corn cereal sweet Finish - Light fruity bitterness, hint of ginger warmth/tingle, dark berry sweet, ligth corn syrup sweet, hint of waxy mouthfeel you get after eating kid's frosted/glazed corn cereals, cotton candy Score - 64/100 Final Thoughts - This was quite an interesting experience. It was definitely nothing like I've ever tried before in that it really didn't fit any other whiskey profile at all. Didn't have that strong vanilla/caramel of a bourbon or rye, nor did it have that malty sweet of a single malt. This was quite thin all around, pretty much zero wood influenced flavors and just overall a bit too sweet. This tasted too much like alcoholic crushed children's puffed corn cereal. Everything tasted too artificial although I will give them credit that it didn't have that Splenda sweet, but it was more along the lines of corn syrup sweet. Nice try? Would I drink it if offered? - No Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No

The spirit is made in the spirit of whiskey but it falls very short! Personally I find most of the flavors rather foreboding, there is one flavor up front when you first smell it that is quite nice after that it is very odd and plays with all of your senses as most of the flavors seem to be forced. This was a nice experience I should put nice in quotes, the thing is the amount of money for this beverage is definitely not worth it! I personally don't think you could mix this in any mixed drink, or wapituli that would mask the sheer starkness of this spirit. This is spirit is constructed in a laboratory...

I walk into my local wine store to buy a bottle of cheap white wine ( making wild mushroom risotto...and cheap white wine is a necessity)...and they’re serving samples of this. From the little I know, apparently through chemistry and physics, the inventors claim to age barely few days old spirit to be equivalent as years in the normal aging process. Amazing concept. But that’s where it ends. It’s an experiment that probably never should’ve been bottled for consumption. Not neat at least. Maybe palatable if used in a 90/10 soda/experimental whiskey drink proportion. The aroma should’ve clued me in. Industrial solvents, spilled bottle of benzene ( I worked in a lab in my early 20s). Taste like licking freshly synthesized plastic. There’s this solvent taste that I just can’t get over. I saw it priced $40. That’s about $40 too expensive.

Nose: Immediate solvent/ethanol burn. The candy sweetness, like green apple, is fleeting, but reminiscent of tart apple candy. A subtle floral notes also passes swiftly. Not very complex. Palate: Immediate burst of candy sweetness. Like tart candy with a bit of grain background. A bit of the alcohol solvent from the nose shows up at the end of the taste as well. Finish: Short and fiery, not in a good way. Conclusion: As a somebody currently working on a PhD in chemistry, I really wanted to like this solely because of the concept, but the best deception I can give is "Sour Apple-Flavored Rubbing Alcohol". There's just no complexity and it's hard to get past the alcohol burn that's more like an industrial solvent than a consumable alcohol. The only big flavors are a big load of tart apple and a bit of maltiness.

It's unique to say the least. It had a nice nose, with a below average flavor profile. The nose had a bit of an apple cider note, with another fruit note I cant quite pick out. Honey as well, something a bit sour in the back, and a slight floral note. It begins with that apple note along with oak. It transitions into some sort of dark berry note. It ends with a strange dry finish. Has this sort of strange liquor taste you'd expect from a cheap liquor. It might remind you of your college days. There's something sour about it you can quite put your finger on. The fruit notes present makes it like they're not quite ripe. I give it credit for trying something different. With a few tweaks there can be something pretty good. But as it stands, it's a bottle you can skip.

Bourbonaut 2.0

Tasting this for the first time I’m wowed. Not by the excellent flavor. This “3D printed” whiskey has a long ways to go before it is competitive with other traditional American whiskey brands. I’m wowed by the fact that they are not that far off on a whiskey that is the first of its kind. Eye:Dark Straw Nose:Almost floral,hint of cherry candy, citrus. Palate:Peanuts brittle,butterscotch,thin mouth feel and astringent mild finish. This is what I’d imagine a barrel aged vodka would taste like.
