What is Salty Caramel Flavored Whiskey by Ole Smoky?
Ole Smoky describes their Salty Caramel flavored Whiskey as: “Might be the best thing to happen to whiskey since, well whiskey. Savor every sip of this blend of rich, sweet 60-proof whiskey that tastes like liquid caramel with a hint of salt at the end of it. Whiskey never tasted so decadent.” But is it really as smooth and tasty as it seems?
Well, we’d have to say their description is rather accurate. Whether you are taking a shot, having it on the rocks, or in a cocktail, the flavors come through just as they should.
This is one of those spirits that we bring to a party and keep in stock all the time because it is well-liked by most people.
However, with that being said, for true whiskey aficionados, this is probably too sweet despite the hint of salt. It is more of a great introduction to the world of whiskies for those who aren’t a fan of the burn or oaky aftertastes of other Tennessee whiskies.
