Infusion Diabolique Bourbon

[CrashRiley]

I did a search, but only found one mention of this product.

Has anyone had it and care to comment?

Website here:http://www.infusionique.com/

Being that it is infused with figs, cinnamon and vanilla bean, it sounds as though it is interesting for cocktails (such as the one listed here: http://thespiritworld.net/2008/07/29/water-of-the-underworld/) but I'm curious as to how it tastes just by itself.

It was developed at a restaurant here in Boston and is made here (I think?) -- a Maker's Mark base with the ingredients you mentioned. They also do an Angelique based on tequila (OK) and another Diabolique with rum (that I haven't tried yet.)

It does taste good -- if a little sweet -- sipped neat. Kind of a cocktail unto itself.

I know a couple stores that carry it locally -- PM if you're interested enough for me to acquire a bottle.

The look very interesting...would be eager to try them all.

I found a price.....38.99 for 750 ml

Here is a snippet I found:

"We also tried a Diabolique Bourbon Manhattan ($11) with locally produced Diabolique infused bourbon (Maker’s Mark with figs, cinnamon and vanilla), sweet vermouth, and fresh figs for garnish. This drink was spicy and rich, like hot gingerbread right out of the oven. I’d call it a perfect beginner’s Manhattan, since it lacked the hard edge of straight bourbon."
