Description
Vermont Honey Bourbon by METCALFES is a distinctive bourbon that captures the essence of Vermont's natural bounty. This small-batch creation artfully combines the rich flavors of traditional bourbon with a nuanced hint of natural honey, a nod to the state's famed beekeeping heritage. At 43.0% ABV, this bourbon offers a smooth, inviting warmth that is both comforting and captivating. Expect the classic bourbon characteristics of grain and oak, elevated by the gentle sweetness of honey. This infusion provides a subtle complexity, adding layers of flavor without overwhelming the senses. The honey notes contribute a mild sweetness that rounds out the typical bourbon spice, making it an inviting choice for both seasoned bourbon aficionados and those new to this storied spirit. For those who enjoy sipping their whiskey, Vermont Honey Bourbon shines when served neat in a Glencairn glass, allowing its aroma and intricate flavors to be fully appreciated. Adding a splash of water or serving it on the rocks in a classic rocks glass can further mellow its profile, accentuating the honey's natural sweetness and softening the edges of the oak. When it comes to cocktails, Vermont Honey Bourbon is a versatile mixer. It enhances the classic Old Fashioned with a hint of honey sweetness, and it brings a unique twist to a Manhattan, complementing the vermouth's botanicals with its delicate warmth. For a refreshing highball, pair it with ginger ale or a splash of soda water, allowing its honeyed notes to shine through while maintaining a light, crisp finish. Vermont Honey Bourbon by METCALFES is not just a drink; it's an experience rooted in craftsmanship and natural flavor, making it a worthy addition to any whiskey collection.

Opened this with friends on game night, lasted two sessions. Solid flavor, just a touch too sweet to crush the whole bottle in one go. Will keep around for winter weekends.
Response from CBC Liquors, Westford
Game night sounds perfect for the Metcalfes. If you ever want something less sweet next time, let me know and I can point you to a few straight bourbons.
