Have you tried Kurvball Flavored Whiskey? I don’t love the term “flavored whiskey”. To me a flavored whiskey would be something with a special barrel finish, but typical flavored whiskeys are really just liqueurs. Lots of flavor added and sweetness too; that’s a liqueur in my book.
Kurvball is a flavor bomb of smokiness in the best summer barbeque way. Imagine the essence of fragrant wood smoldering on the fire, matched with masterfully-smoked meats, all packed into a whiskey base for you to enjoy. Mix this up with a persimmon shrub and some red chili heat, for the perfect barbeque party cocktail.
