Painkiller Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Ok, just purchased this and am having my first glass. All I can say is.....WOW !!!!I am really liking this stuff! Can't help it. I love bourbon. And maple syrup. And the smell of Fall, chimney smoke (even though I live in S Fl and this is non-existent....) Throw it all together and I feel like I'm drinking bourbon with Aunt Jemima up in the Smoky Mountains, right before Halloween. I'm also getting a background hint of candy corn. Smooth as hell, not too sweet, at least for my taste, and a nice 90 proofer. Something different, without being overwhelming. Dangerously good. Dessert in a glass. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.Let the bashing begin.....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.B. Babington Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 when an ABC manager friend and I saw this on the shelf, we're like add bacon favor and ya got all ya need for breakfast. But both of us thought this might be fun to try. Haven't tried it yet, but your review makes it enticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bllygthrd Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Tried it during the KBF while touring Jim Beam ... actually, I like Royal Crown Maple better. Not a bad novelty drink though ... I'm a sucker for anything maple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadewood Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Mod - please move this thread to Other American Whiskey. IMHO, It does not belong in the Bourbon Section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&MLiquorsEric Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I tried a sample of this and it wasn't bad for what it is. A flavored whiskey. I think calling this stuff knob creek is a shame. The marketing and bean counters wanting a product in the premium category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But both of us thought this might be fun to try. Haven't tried it yet, but your review makes it enticing.I find the KC Maple pretty sweet, but mixing it with anything at a 1:1 ratio cuts it to a decent sipping level. I made some bacon infused bourbon a while back, and it is delicious mixed with this stuff. I also used it to dip a pancake wrapped around a sausage into, and that was pretty good. I am pretty sure this will replace the fake maple flavored syrup in my pantry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTsteve Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I tried a taste of my gf's sample at whisky fest and I was pleasantly surprised, I generally dislike all flavored and infused whiskies I've tried, but for what it is they did a good job. Very sweet and easy going go down. Not my bag really but I'd say this has potential for mass market consumption kind of like that cinnamon stuff people seem to like. Also has potential for cocktails.

BigPapa Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 What's it taste like to a bourbon rookie?Because it really does taste like maple syrup to me . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Damn, I hate to admit it, but this one has had me intrigued for a few years. The urge to grab one usually hits around October, but I usually talk sense into myself...as well as I fear losing any bourbon cred I may have among my bourbon monger's staff if I were to buy one... I may man-up and throw caution to the wind this Fall, however...and ask Mrssmokinjoe to go in and get one for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I've never tried this, but someone gave me a bottle of CR Maple several years ago as a gift. It took me a long time to finish that bottle. The only flavored whiskey that I've tried since then is Cinnamon, and I've still got most of that bottle, but I do like it better than the maple.

b1gcountry Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I went for a 50ml of fire ball, wt honey, and kc maple about a year ago. I have not finished the fireball. I tried it twice, and couldn't get past the first sip either time I haven't opened the other 2.Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
