Sons of Liberty Pumpkin Spice, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2014 ● Reviewer: Lew Bryson ● Category: Flavored Whisky & Liqueurs
The aroma is rich with pumpkin pie notes and a strong citrus component. There's eight tons of actual pumpkin in the year's run of this seasonal; impressive, and you can smell the roasted gourd. The whiskey's not sickly sweet as feared, but more like a homemade, sugarless pumpkin pie, almost savory. The flavor is solid, rich, and integrates well. For what it is, it's done well, and it's done boldly. I'd maybe back off the orange a bit.
