Review: Jeremiah Weed Spiced Whiskey

Jeremiah Weed Spiced whiskey - CopyJeremiah Weed Spiced Whiskey was introduced November 2014 along with a Cinnamon, and Sarsaparilla Whiskey flavor.  It is made with American blended whiskey with spices and other natural flavors.  When I hear spiced whiskey I immediately think of spice rum and if anyone should know how to craft a spiced whiskey it should be Diageo.  They not only launched the Jeremiah Weed line, they make Captain Morgan, the king of spiced rum.

Review: Jeremiah Weed Sarsaparilla Whiskey

jeremiah weed sarsaparilla whiskey - CopyJeremiah Weed Sarsaparilla Whiskey was introduced November 2014 along with a Cinnamon, and a Spiced Whiskey flavor.  The Jeremiah Weed Brand is probably best known for it’s line of sweet tea flavored vodka’s.  It is made with American blended whiskey, with spices, and other natural flavors and it is bottled at a mysterious 70.4 proof.  Sarsaparilla was once popular as a medicinal tonic.  My guess is the bottle and labeling were very similar to what Jeremiah Weed looks like today.  Sarsaparilla root is one of the main flavor ingredients in root beer.  Read more »
