Review: Block Head Whiskey
The first bottle of Block Head Whiskey was born March 4, 2022. Block Head is described as a popcorn, peanut, and sweet caramel flavored whiskey. Sounds like a Cracker Jack flavored whiskey to me. The only other product detail I’ve been able to find is Block Head weighs in at 74 proof. Block Head appears to be produced at The Point Distillery in New Port Richey Florida. As someone who has reviewed 30 peanut butter flavored whiskeys, and just recently a peanut brittle bourbon cream, I’m anxious to see how a popcorn, peanut, and sweet caramel flavored whiskey compares. The aroma leads with caramel corn. Additional time brings out peanut, taffy apple, and whiskey notes. The sugary apple, sweet whiskey, and salted caramel entry has a thick syrupy feel. Runny caramel, vanilla, apple, and simple syrup arrive building to a salty peanut and caramel corn peak. It fades with butterscotch hard candy and finishes with simple syrup, and taffy apple, leaving warm salty, bittersweet, peppery, taste and a whiskey burn.
