Review: Ambros Banana Whiskey
Ambros Banana Whiskey was released October 2018. It is made from a 3 year old Irish Whiskey base and infused with only 100% real banana’s in Henderson Nevada. To be specific no artificial flavors, “natural” flavors, fruit juice concentrate, or added sugar are added. 50,000 hand peeled bananas are needed for each batch of Ambros. Banana’s are the most consumed fruit on the planet yet they have yet to make much of an impact in the world of adult beverages. I have reviewed 4 banana flavored vodka’s and all four are no longer produced. The only banana flavored vodka currently produced is Burnetts Strawberry Banana. With dozens of flavor varieties the only banana flavored hard seltzer I’m aware of is the just released Happy Dad Banana Hard Seltzer, available as a limited release. Banana seems to be limited to flavored rum and whiskey. We have previously reviewed Howler Head, Skatter Brain, and Whiskey Smith banana flavored whiskey. Ambros is the only banana spirit I’m aware of infused with real banana, so we are anxious to taste the results. Read more 
Review: Skatter Brain Dark Chocolate Banana Whiskey
Skatter Brain Dark Chocolate Banana Whiskey was just released. It joins a Skatter Brain lineup that includes Skatter Brain Peanut Butter Whiskey, PB&J, Peanut Butter Cream, and Dark Cherry Vanilla. All five are available at Total Wine and More stores throughout the US. The fist thing I noticed is the elephant found on the Skatter Brain Peanut Butter whiskey flavors has been replaced by a gorilla. Skatter Brain Dark Cherry Vanilla feature a raccoon head. All three Skatter Brain spokes animals love their shades. Skatter Brain is made by Universal Brands in Princeton Minnesota from a Canadian whiskey base. Natural flavors and caramel color are added before bottling at 70 proof. Read more
