After aging in clean oak barrels, it is finished with hand-ground botanicals, herbs, and aromatic spices. CALI is produced and bottled by Sukkah Hill Spirits in Gardena California. Read more

Review: Old Camp Peach Pecan Whiskey
Old Camp Peach Pecan Whiskey was launched August 2016. The whiskey was created by Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard. Yes, the same Brian and Tyler from Florida Georgia Line. This is the first of what promises to be an expanded line of whiskey. A straight whisky will be available in December. Old Camp starts with an American Whiskey base made in Lawrenceburg Indiana. The whiskey is aged for a minimum of two years in white oak barrels with a number 3 char. It is then infused with natural southern peach and pecan flavor and bottled at 70 proof. Read more
Review: Crown Royal Vanilla
Crown Royal Vanilla Whisky was just released. It is their fourth flavor infused whisky and comes just 3 months after the launch of Crown Royal Honey. Wouldn’t it be great if we could count on a new Crown Royal flavor every quarter? Crown Royal Vanilla is crafted with corn, rye, and barley with pure water naturally filtered through limestone. After distilling, the whisky is aged in oak barrels and then infused with the rich flavor of Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. The trademark velvet bag included in the box is not white like the Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla flower or the ice cream flavor, but rather brown like the bean itself. Read more

Review: Bird Dog Ruby Red Grapefruit Whiskey
Bird Dog Ruby Red Grapefruit Whiskey was just released along with their Strawberry Whiskey flavor. Bird Dog may not be the best selling whiskey, or even the best selling flavored whiskey brand, but with ten whiskey flavors, they have the most extensive flavored whiskey product line. Bird Dog Ruby Red Grapefruit starts with a base made from corn, malted barley and rye. The whiskey is aged in white oak barrels. Grapefruit flavor is infused before bottling at 80 proof. Read more

Review: Crown Royal Honey Whisky
Crown Royal Honey Whisky was just released. It is their third flavor infused whisky. The others include Maple and Regal Apple. Crown Royal Regal Apple is in my opinion the best tasting flavored whisky on the market today. When I posted my review of Regal Apple October 2014 I correctly predicted Crown’s next flavor might be Honey. In fairness I thought it might be Honey, Cinnamon, or Cherry. Each of these flavors would have been safe picks since there are several already produced. For 2017 I’m challenging Crown to create a Summer Seasonal flavor, possibly Coconut, or Pineapple. Crown Royal Honey starts with pure water naturally filtered through limestone, corn, rye, and barley. After distilling the whisky is aged in oak barrels and then hand selected before natural flavors are infused. In case you are wondering the bag is golden yellow. Read more

The bourbon is distilled in Louisville and bottled in Bardstown Kentucky where natural hot cinnamon flavor is infused. Read more
