Michigan’s Traverse Metropolis makes a variety of whiskeys which we’ve lined in depth up to now. Now there’s a restricted version providing on the desk: Traverse Metropolis’s bourbon infused with Michigan peaches (and pure taste, natch). Let’s put it via its paces.
The massive query with a product like this isn’t whether or not it smells and tastes like peaches, however how a lot it smells and tastes like peaches. The reply is so much, but it surely’s all candy peach sweet, which is pretty par for fruit-flavored whiskey. Right here it’s reasonably overpowering, excluding virtually every little thing else from the glass, save for a barely leathery, earthy be aware that’s evident provided that you breathe deep. A lot extra peach sweet arrives on first sip, punctuated by a petroleum character that may be a contact off-putting, and which grows in energy over time. Thankfully, there’s loads of peachy-sugary syrup to mood the gas depot notes, although that leaves the end feeling greater than somewhat tough and medicinal. Evaluate and distinction to Traverse Metropolis’s American Cherry version.
70 proof.
