Review: Bird Dog Ruby Red Grapefruit Whiskey
Bird Dog Ruby Red Grapefruit Whiskey was just released along with their Strawberry Whiskey flavor.

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
Review: Evan Williams Fire
Evan Williams Fire was originally launched February 2012, and it was named Evan Williams Cinnamon Reserve.

The bourbon is distilled in Louisville and bottled in Bardstown Kentucky where natural hot cinnamon flavor is infused. Read more
Review: Revel Stoke Cinnamon Whisky

Review: Uncle Bobs Root Beer Whiskey
Uncle Bobs Root Beer Whiskey is made in Mira Loma California by the 49 Distilling and Whiskey House, a division of private label distiller and bottler Levecke. It was released in 2014, so I really can’t say it was developed to capitalize on the Hard Root Beer craze. This is the second root beer flavored whiskey I’m aware of. The other is Jeremiah Weed Sarsaparilla Whiskey. Uncle Bob’s blends aged whiskey with natural root beer flavors and caramel color and is bottled at 70 proof. Read more
