Sugarbush Whiskey from Vikre Distillery in Duluth, Minnesota was introduced in November 2015. Their first of many experimental releases, this whiskey is distilled from a mash bill of 60% corn, 25% barley, and 15% rye before being twice-aged. First, in used port barrels with maplewood staves for less than 24 months, before finishing in bourbon barrels that aged maple syrup. It's bottled at 44% ABV.

Same here, no pro. But a nice sipper for such a young whiskey. I got the lot 4 batch. Smells are sweet like sugar, lightly caramel to the taste. Gets better near the end of the glass. All of Vikre’s spirits I enjoy, not surprised they made a great whiskey.
Batch 7 A little smoother than Batch 6. Amber appearance. Sweet on the nose. Prominent maple early on the palate. Sweetness slowly fades, timber lingers. A little water or ice opens it up, but don’t dilute too much.
I'm no pro. I just know what i like. For a micro distiller, this is best I've had. Smooth not raw. This isn't moonshine. It's complex and if you hold it in your mouth, the numerous flavors bust out.
I had over a dozen people try it, nobody likes it. Very offensive nose and unpleasant after taste. Works ok in an old fashioned . Nowhere near worth the price .
Batch 6 (46.5% abv) Definitely a more mature and full bodied whiskey when compared to earlier batches. A gentle and soft lingering sweetness.
Good strong whiskey. Bought 3/4 bottle off friend because he didnt like it. Definitely worth the discounted price
