FEW Cold Cut Bourbon with Cold Brew Coffee, 46.5%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2020 ● Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton ● Category: Flavored Whisky & Liqueurs
Not a whiskey: FEW Spirits cut its bourbon with cold-brew coffee instead of water, but the effect is subtle and surprising. There's sweet green tea, spearmint gum, marzipan, coconut, caraway, and toasted oak on the nose. Mint-chocolate candy, licorice, blueberry, and black pepper vie with oak on the palate; adding water, a juicy, fruity strain of raspberry and pomegranate emerges. The finish is dry, peppery, and herbal; water brings out fruit to balance.
