Watermelon and Whiskey is a good pairing
Blended and flavored whiskeys continue to be red hot in popularity, consumer demand for brown spirits remains on the rise with American Whiskey in particular seeing some phenomenal sales growth.
Regular readers know that I am a fan of flavored whiskey, I’ve always got a bottle of something in my freezer for a chilled shot or flavored specialty in the liquor cabinet to enjoy on the rocks. My favorite in all this tasting fun so far, has been Ole Smoky Peanut Butter flavored whiskey. It’s BETTER than Skrewball!
Given how much I enjoyed the Ole Smoky Peanut Butter, I decided to give another one of their flavored whiskeys a try.
Today’s tasting: Ole Smoky Salted Watermelon
If a shot of whiskey can be refreshing, this is it!
You get the whiff of watermelon in the nose, the hint of salt kisses the tongue along with the fruity note and then there’s the warm whiskey finish. It’s slightly sweet, not overpowering at all and it’s balanced by that salt. It’s smooth and yes, refreshing!
As always, I tried this whiskey neat, on the rocks and in a chilled shot. It’s very good any way served. It would also lend itself well to mixology, adding a splash of ginger ale comes to mind. A friend of mine recommended mixing it with lemonade which sounds real good.
Costing me $19.99, Ole Smoky Salted Watermelon is definitely a repeat buy and gets 4 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars.
