Spirit Review – 12th Hawaii Distillers Reserve

This is a unique spin on whiskey from the Island state of Hawaii (courtesy of Richard Rosen), it is Distillers Reserve from 12th Hawaii Distillers on Kona.

It is a “spirit is distilled four times using pure Hawaiian honey before it rests in a charred oak barrel with Hawaiian Kiawe wood.”

It is crazy but there is certainly a smooth mouthfeel and Macadamia nut taste to this. There is a burn as well more in the nose than the taste and a nice full amount of sweetness here too. This is much more a near drink then others that are purely cocktail bound.
