Review: Whiskeysmith Coconut Whiskey
Coconut is one of seven flavored whiskeys bottled for Whiskeysmith Co. a division of Old Elk in Fort Collins Colorado. The other flavors include Banana, Chocolate, Pineapple, Blood Orange, Salted Caramel, and Peach. Each flavor is made from a real American whiskey base. No age statement or source of the whiskey is provided. The whiskey is blended with essence of fruit and candy store extracts and bottled at 60 proof. The aroma leads with sweet whiskey, caramel, toasted coconut, and oak. The sweet whiskey entry has notes of brown sugar and caramel. Toasted coconut arrives building to a chocolate coconut peak. It fades with milk chocolate and caramel and finishes with toasted coconut and oak. If you like a flavored whiskey that has real aged whiskey flavor, is not oversweet, and has real natural flavor, you may want to pick up a bottle of Whiskeysmith Coconut Whiskey.
