Description
Bird Dog Apple Whiskey comes from Western Spirits in Kentucky. It starts with barrel-aged Kentucky bourbon. Ripe apple flavor is then blended in, and it is bottled at 80 proof. Each Bird Dog flavor is made with all-natural ingredients, so the apple tastes real. The brand likes to compare it to a fresh-baked apple pie in a glass.
The color is a warm golden amber. Bring it to your nose and fresh, ripe apples come first. On the palate the apple turns juicy and concentrated. It has a tart sweetness and a smooth, almost savory feel. As it fades, the sweet fruit steps aside and the bourbon shows up. A warm touch of cinnamon lingers at the end.
The brand says this flavor has picked up platinum, double gold and gold medals. It sits easily next to other flavored on a home bar shelf.
You can sip it neat or on the rocks. It also makes a fun Apple Old Fashioned. For a simple highball, add ginger ale or hot cider in winter. Serve it with apple pie, cinnamon rolls or a warm crumble.
If you enjoy but want something lighter and fruitier, this bottle is an easy choice. It is a crowd-pleaser at fall parties and tailgates.
