Detailed Description
Brodsky Herbal Flavored Whiskey is a 100-proof spirit that is infused with eight unspecified botanicals between distillation and aging, according to Brodsky’s official Facebook page. The bottle states that Brodsky is made by Westford Hill Distillers of Ashford, Connecticut. Brodksy is made of a base of corn and malted barley that results in a white spirit, which is then “cold infused with 8 botanicals” for a week. It is then aged in bourbon oak barrels for 18 months and bottled at barrel-proof, uncut and unfiltered in order “to preserve the natural rustic qualities.”
The Original Brodsky Herbal Flavored Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: The first whiff is dominated by lemongrass, taking on the aroma of very sweet, citrus herbal tea with a touch of vanilla. Over time, that citrusy sweetness is somewhat balanced by spicy notes of coriander, sage, black pepper and cloves, which form into an aroma that strikingly resembles Dr. Pepper.
Palate: While initially hitting the tongue with the texture and sweetness of simple syrup, the spicy flavors that were muted in the nose quickly take control. Those spicy flavors start out as a pleasant balance of the aforementioned spices. That balance swiftly turns to a wave of cinnamon, black pepper, and a touch of citrus zest, with the flavor intensity of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky.
Finish: Spicy and rich.
