Amber color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate orange peel, orange jell-o, and orange preserves with a satiny, bright, off-dry medium body and a seamless, engaging, medium-long finish revealing nuances of orange chuckle, orange caramels, coriander, and clove. A pleasantly executed excursion down the orange aisle of the candy store.

Flavored Whiskey

Flavored whiskeys are distilled alcoholic beverages produced form grain (rye, corn, barley) that have had additional flavoring included. These flavors cover a wide array from honey to apple to cinnamon. Most of these flavored whiskies are from North America, although there are a few from Europe.

While these can be enjoyed over ice, most are used mixed with soda or tonic or else in a hot toddy.
