Description
Ole Smoky Blackberry Whiskey pairs a base with the bright taste of ripe blackberries. It is distilled and bottled by Ole Smoky Distillery in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The label calls it whiskey with natural flavors. It is bottled at 30% alcohol, or 60 proof, so it stays gentle and easy to pour.
Lift the glass and fresh, juicy blackberry comes through first. Light caramel and a touch of oak sit quietly behind the fruit. The aroma feels warm and inviting rather than sharp.
On the palate, you get a smooth, sweet burst of blackberry. Mild whiskey warmth and a little spice keep the fruit from feeling sugary. The finish leaves a lingering ripe-berry sweetness and a light, warm whiskey note. Nothing about it feels heavy, so a second pour comes easily.
You can sip it neat or pour it over ice. Ole Smoky shares simple serves on its own site, such as blackberry whiskey with lemonade or with soda. A bramble is a fun step up when friends come over. Cola works too if you like a sweeter long drink.
Set out dark chocolate or a cheese board alongside your glass. Vanilla desserts and grilled meats make good partners as well. If you enjoy flavored whiskey that still tastes like whiskey, this bottle is a friendly pick for casual nights at home.
