Savor the Burn:

Currant Old Fashioned

February 24, 2023 by W2

This whiskey really surprised us. It was full of so much flavor just as a neat pour, but once mixed up and turned into an Old Fashioned, it was pretty incredible. The recipe, contrary to a typical old fashioned, does not have a simple or maple syrup component to it, and did not needed it at all. The sweet and tart flavors of the currant berry carries and balances well with the whiskey.

made with: Von Payne Black - Blended Whiskey infused with Natural Black Currant

Currant Old Fashioned

A deep ruby red from the natural black currant with a hint of brown from the Barrel Aging. We felt it was more like a raisin color. If you looking for not only a great flavored whiskey, but something to take a go to cocktail and turn it on end with something new and different, this one has it for sure. Be on the look out for Episode 4 releasing Friday, March 3, 2023.
