Description
Bird Dog Mesquite Brown Sugar is a flavored from Western Spirits in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It blends sweet brown sugar with a gentle hint of mesquite smoke. It’s bottled at 70 proof, or 35% ABV, so it sips light and easy. In the glass it shows a deep golden amber color.
Lift the glass and you’ll smell sweet smoke, vanilla and caramel. The first sip brings cinnamon and brown sugar. A light smoky note sits behind them and keeps the sweetness in check. The finish is sweet, smoky and lightly seasoned, and it fades gently.
Bird Dog says this whiskey is best served over ice. That’s a good place to start. The cold tames the sugar and lets the smoke come forward.
If you , it shines in simple mixes. The brand pours it with cola, builds a Kentucky Mule with it, and shakes it into a whiskey sour. Lemonade works well on a hot day too.
Serve it with BBQ ribs, pulled pork or a caramel dessert. You don’t need to know a lot about whiskey to enjoy this one. You just need to like sweet flavors with a touch of smoke.
