Produced in Thompsonville, Michigan, Iron Fish Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Maple Syrup Barrels is a blend of corn, rye and malted barley aged in American oak barrels before finishing in whiskey barrels steeped with maple syrup from the Griner family. Bottled at 43% ABV, it comes in a 750ml format for around $54.
This whiskey has an excellent blend and balance of flavors and remarkable symmetry between the nose and the palate. I was particularly nervous about mixing maple syrup with whiskey, but the result was especially impressive. I can’t wait to taste what Iron Fish does with their own whiskey.
