Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon Blend, 46%

Price: 40 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: World Whisky

A tropical, cereal grain-sweet nose; grilled pineapple supported by cinnamon rugelach, whipped cream, graham cracker, and dried lemon peel. The palate provides more to chew on—it’s balanced and bright, with notes of lemon curd, cereal milk, and mandarin orange. On the finish, the melding of citrus and sweet carries on beautifully, bringing to mind lemon bars and sugar cookies.
