The nose features lemon-lime soda and maraschino cherry, complemented by a subtle sweet oak character.
The palate opens with tart citrus and light bubbles. It brings to mind the kind of whiskey sour you’d be handed at a friendly dive bar, perhaps one made with a splash of Sprite. Cutwater's straight whiskey comes through on the midpalate with notes of toasted almonds, vanilla and caramel.
The short, round finish brings out more citrus, this time resembling lemon jelly fruit slices and bottled lemonade.
With an 8% ABV, it’s quite drinkable—well-suited for casual get-togethers. While it’s enjoyable over ice, it’s more flavorful when chilled and drunk straight from the can. If you're looking for an easy, inoffensive ready-to-drink whiskey sour, this is a good option.
