Prichard's Sweet Lucy, 35%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2012 ● Reviewer: Lew Bryson ● Category: Flavored Whisky & Liqueurs
A sweet mélange of bourbon, honey, ladyfingers, and praline in the nose, with a faint thread of heavy tree blossoms. Quite sweet, but not syrupy, and the aromas — minus the blossoms — are here, plus vanilla. Some stickiness on the finish, but it's not unpleasant, more like candy, which is what this experience is like: booze candy. That candy simplicity is confusing: there are a lot of flavors here, but at a candy level. A bit less sweetness would be welcome.
