My Feedback:

Western Cider’s Whiskey Peach is an effervescent pale cider that clearly smells of old whiskey barrels. Time to try it. Yeah, if it’s not already a thing, peaches and whiskey should be a thing! This drink does not have a very heavy body, is fairly dry, with a nice sharpness in the first phase. It starts to go down smooth and then in the second phase there is a big wave of smokiness, which combined with the high alcohol content makes this feel more like a strong drink than a cider. And yet, one can sense a subtle tartness in the finish. Even though the peach flavor isn’t notably strong, they’ve put enough in to balance out the whiskey taste. The contrast of the strong smokiness and the soft tones of peaches is fairly remarkable. (To my tongue there is more whiskey flavor than peach, and thus the categorization) Let this breathe a bit and the flavors gel more for a unique and pleasant aroma. It drinks more like a spirit, but this rustic and woodsy beverage has just enough softness from sweet peaches to remind one of a warm dessert of skillet peach cobbler around the campfire.
