Review: Warrior Peanut Butter Cup Whiskey
Warrior Peanut Butter Cup Whiskey was launched May 2020 by former vet Rich Clemson and his wife Mary. They sold their business, Pasta USA, in 2006 and instead of retiring they looked for their next challenge. Their previous business gave them several grain based connections so the decided to start crafting spirits. By December 2017 they were producing vodka and gin at their Liquid Brands Distillery, built in a 7500 square foot renovated warehouse in East Spokane Washington. They currently produce 22 spirits including several whiskey’s, vodka’s, and gins. The whiskey base is made from locally sourced corn grown in Palouse Hills Washington. Once distilled in their custom build still the whiskey rests in new American white oak barrels. Natural flavors are blended before bottling at 70 proof. The aroma leads with caramel corn and creamy peanut butter. Additional time brings out chocolate, coffee, and oak notes. The sweet whiskey entry leads with vanilla and dried cherry. Caramel corn arrives and is joined by peanut butter building to a chocolate peanut butter cup peak. It fades with Concord grape, caramel, and dark chocolate, and finishes semi-dry with oak, mocha, and peanut taste.
