What is Flavoured Whiskey
Flavoured whiskey, also spelled flavored whisky, is whiskey blended with flavours such as honey, fruit, spice or sweet dessert notes. Most are bottled at around 30 to 35% ABV, a little lower than standard whiskey at 40%, so they taste smoother, sweeter and easier to drink. Because of the added flavour and sweetness, many are labelled as a whiskey liqueur or spirit drink rather than straight whiskey.
Popular Whiskey Flavours
Honey is the best seller, led by Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey, Jim Beam Honey, Wild Turkey American Honey and Tullamore DEW Honey. For spice there is Fireball cinnamon whisky, Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire, Canadian Club Spiced and William Lawsons Vanilla Spiced. Dessert styles include Skrewball and Sheep Dog peanut butter whiskey, Thunderdonk Salted Caramel and Spiced Maple, and Real McCoy Salted Caramel.
The Best Fruity Whiskey
For fruit lovers, Crown Royal Peach and Jim Beam Peach are juicy and soft, Jim Beam Red Stag Black Cherry is rich and dark, and Jack Daniels Tennessee Apple and Jim Beam Apple taste of crisp green apple. All are great over ice or topped with soda or lemonade.
How to Drink Flavoured Whiskey
Serve flavoured whiskey chilled as a shot, over ice, or with a mixer. Honey whiskey works well with lemonade or ginger ale, apple whiskey with soda, cinnamon whisky with cola or apple juice, and peanut butter whiskey with cola or in an espresso martini. Our miniatures and the Fireball Party Bucket are popular for parties, and for more ideas see our cocktail packages.
