Kurt, Feb 16, 2021

Tooooo much cherry for me. Closer to a cherry medicine than cherry whiskey. Not subtle.

Chad, Feb 12, 2021

The best whiskey I have ever had!

JOHN, Jan 23, 2021

Excellent Cherry notes, it's a great after dinner sipper.

Michael, Jan 22, 2021

Very cherry. Great adder for drink that calls for the flavor. A little overpowering by itself.

Carrie, Jan 12, 2021

Absolutely amazing

Kathryn, Dec 24, 2020

Really enjoyed this. I prefer a less sweet old fashioned & this worked well. I plan to buy it again

Jerry, Dec 19, 2020

This was a great purchase, if you like cherry then you will like this. it is a one off that is delicious! enjoy it as I did.

Ryan, Dec 14, 2020

Super tart and thick, not quite what I was expecting. Very sweet with juniper, subtle notes of oak with vanilla. I agree with others, more of a dessert drink and I'm sure makes an amazing old fashioned.

james, Dec 5, 2020

Very thick and sweet. Not what i was hoping for. You could use it as a topping instead of a drink

Jerry, Nov 24, 2020

Very sweet, almost a desert drink. Makes unusual old fashioneds and is amazing with vanilla ice cream!

Dan, Nov 21, 2020

Novelty - super thick...is better if you water it down a little. More of a desert type drink.

Jerry, Nov 19, 2020

Literally tastes like Robitussin. I was expecting hints of cherry... this is essentially cherry syrup.

Stephen, Nov 18, 2020

This stuff is super sweet but it's great to add to drinks to make fancy cocktails!

Kym, Nov 14, 2020

Let me start by saying that I live in northern Illinois Bordering Wisconsin So I spend most of my quick getaway vacations in Wisconsin and Michigan and Chicago of course. There is nothing like Michigan cherries except maybe Wisconsin, Door County cherries. This whiskey was recommended to me by flaviar & I couldn't be happier. I have been offering it to every friend that has visited & they all agree, delicious, smooth, true cherry finish... Then something changed, I bought a whiskey wedge (corkcicle) which chilled it with no watering down, and I'm in love! Good chance the bottle won't survive the night & I came here to buy more immediately & figured I should write this review to let everyone know about this beautiful gem. Love it, thank you, please may I have another...?

Rob, Nov 10, 2020

What an awesome surprise this whiskey was. Ill certainly be ordering it again.

Steve, Oct 28, 2020

I enjoyed it. Taste was good, but a little too much like cherry cough syrup. Did go really well with Coke or just add few drops of water helped.

Fakhard-diyn, Oct 24, 2020

I rather enjoyed it. Great cherry taste

Eric, Oct 22, 2020

Excellent.

Carl, Oct 18, 2020

...I’m too old to exaggerate...but it was the worse tasting liquid I’ve ever swallowed. Usually things that taste this bad, I’m able to spit out...but oh no...I swallowed this (it was alcohol and was supposed to be “delicious”) ...but the nightmare lingers. Before this gulp I loved cherries and every that tasted like cherries...you’ve ruined that for me now.

Kirk, Oct 7, 2020

Without really wanting to say anything bad The opinion of a host at one setting aas that the Whiskey was a bit too sweet... The option that was suggested was to smoke it to put a smokey flavor to offset the sweetness.....

Patrick, Sep 29, 2020

Cherry is tart, whiskey is good. Nice mix for this ok’ Michigan boy.

Shawn, Sep 25, 2020

I really enjoyed this Whiskey. Having lived in Michigan for a handful of years, and having family up in Traverse City (the cherry capital!), this seemed like a must. Definitely for dessert! I'll be ordering another!

David, Sep 23, 2020

I am not a fan. The cherry flavor was reminiscent of cough syrup

Brant, Sep 23, 2020

Very sweet. Added it to a cola for a chaser.

Rachel, Sep 21, 2020

Simply amazing. Period.

Jacob, Sep 21, 2020

Sweet but tart cherry flavor. Wonderful on ice and great for sipping as a dessert drink!

Jonathan, Sep 16, 2020

Did not like at all, I tried every which way to drink it and I could not find any combination to make the drink palatable. I set my hopes high for this whiskey since I am a lover of all cherry things and this is the one thing that I don't like that is cherry flavored.

Ted, Sep 11, 2020

Sorry to say, but this was the worst tasting whiskey I've ever had. It tasted like a bad cherry cough syrup. I really wanted to like it but I just couldn't.

Tim, Aug 17, 2020

I definitely enjoyed this whiskey. You can't go into this thinking it's a normal whiskey though. It's mostly what i would call a dessert type drink or it's an awesome mixer. very sweet and it is cherry above all else.

Paul, Aug 8, 2020

It tasted like cherry flavored cough syrup

Erick, Aug 6, 2020

I enjoyed this whiskey. It, like many flavored whiskeys, was a bit thick and a little too sweet for my taste. But, a tip of the hat to my hometown distillery! Its a great tasting dessert type drink.

Donnie, Jul 29, 2020

What I expected and was smooth and drinkable.

Mike, Jul 28, 2020

It's tasty as a dessert drink. Very sweet, with good flavor.

LaVonne, Jul 16, 2020

The flavor is rich, but this whiskey is too sweet for my taste.

Vincent, Jul 9, 2020

This isn't a whiskey.....it's super sweet cherry juice. One sip and to the trash.

Adam, Jul 13, 2020

Hey Vincent, I have a bottle of diplomatico I'd be willing to trade for your Michigan Cherry....

Erick, Jul 8, 2020

Very, very Cherry. A little too think and syrupy for my tastes. But, overall a solid performance.

Jacob, Jun 30, 2020

Its not for me but good. Its a little on the sweeter side but has a nice finish. My wife loves it, which may be due to the sangria similarity to it. Still good.

Christopher, Jun 20, 2020

Sweet and spicy.

guest, May 21, 2020

Drinks more like a wine but is by far my favorite whiskey product

Tim, May 19, 2020

This is something you will really want to mix with something else. Really syrupy and sickly sweet. Taste of the cherries is good but a bit overpowering. Mix with coke and it becomes a cherry coke. I have the bottle in fridge. Next I think I will add to Chocolate IceCream in a blender and see how a chocolate/cherry float would taste :)

Todd, May 16, 2020

This is a great way to amp the classic "Old Fashioned". It may not be for everybody, but we really enjoyed it on the porch at sunset.

NAOMI, May 13, 2020

THIS! Ok, yes it is sweet, and TART, and mouth watering delicious! Full blown Tart Cherries. It’s amazing. But don’t go in thinking it’s going to taste like bourbon... it’s more of a liqueur. And appreciate it by drinking it neat.

Kenneth, Apr 29, 2020

Love the taste

Shelene, Apr 24, 2020

If you put nasty cherry juice into whiskey this is what you would get

Jake, Apr 24, 2020

This almost works better as a replacement for bitters.

David, Apr 23, 2020

Great flavor. The cherry is very even. A little thick for me but not as bad as some peanut butter stuff I've had in the past

Robin, Apr 22, 2020

We really enjoyed this Whiskey. Not too sweet, quite smooth, and YES, it is cherry flavored, so we expected cherries. It delivers. For some perhaps it is "to strong" but we ordered it for the CHERRIES, so we were happy. It's great in a manhattan or neat as a sipper with a granite cube.

Robert, Apr 15, 2020

Very sweet, cherry flavor was a bit over powering

Anthony, Mar 14, 2020

This was outstanding. Honestly best whiskey I've ever had because I loveee cherry. It is a tad strong flavored for drinking straight but it is amazing mixed with coke, and I'd easily drink it straight too.

Christopher, Mar 4, 2020

Let me start by saying Bourbon and Cherries are 2 of my favorite things, so I was truly looking forward to this spirit. I agree with many of the other reviewers that it's not for drinking straight. The cherry is very overpowering, and many of the traditional bourbon flavor notes are lost when drinking it straight. When mixed however, it makes for a great cocktail. I've found that even in a Manhattan, it needs to be mixed with another bourbon to keep the cherry from overpowering the cocktail.

Nicole, Mar 2, 2020

Straight, it tastes like Cherry flavored cough medicine. I was hopeful it would taste like the Manhattan.

Amy, Feb 22, 2020

So delicious you can drink it neat! I originally purchased this to add to my Manhattans, but once I tasted it I soon discovered how tasty it is on its own. It has such a delicious cherry flavor without being overpowering. But watch out! It goes down super smooth so you may find yourself ordering several bottles at a time.

DUELLYN, Jan 25, 2020

Depends on how you mix it. Straight is like cough syrup. Mixed with orange. Nice over ice.

Clint, Jan 16, 2020

Good mixed with a coke but not recommended just straight.

Matthew, Jan 11, 2020

Too sweet and medicinal to sip for me, though after reading other reviews, I may try chilling it. Best thing I could find to do was mix a shot with a tumbler of chocolate milk (fairlife works well) and serve as a chocolate-covered cherry cocktail. I also like the idea of using to marinate pork.

Ron, Jan 7, 2020

Taste like and has the viscosity of cherry flavored Copenhagen dip spit. Nothing like a Manhattan as advertised, first experience with Flaviar (Christmas gift) and no chance of continuing beyond the gift at this point. Irritated with this swill, hopefully I can find something to mix with it to get rid of it. I wouldn't inflict this on anyone, I wouldn't even serve this to someone I didn't like. The worst first experience with famous Michigan cherries that I can possibly think of. Sticking with Luxardo cherries in my Manhattans.

Terrence, Nov 19, 2019

Not exactly good for drinking but i will say it made for a good marinade mixed with some brown sugar.

Rain, Nov 18, 2019

Smooth and real cherry flavor. Tastes good cold.

Nathan, Nov 5, 2019

If you're in the mood for a whiskey similar to a port wine, this is the one for you. It's a delightfully sweet, cherry sipping whiskey. Great in small amounts because of the abundantly sweet cherry flavor.

Theresa, Nov 4, 2019

Loved it! Very smooth with a wonderful cherry flavor!

Greg, Nov 2, 2019

Definitely a cherry flavor followed by a spice which I have yet to define. The very first sip the cherry touched my upper lip made my eyes light up. Then I let it lay in my mouth and absorb into my taste buds. Wow, makes me want to get another glass!

Nathan, Nov 5, 2019

Exactly!

Don, Oct 27, 2019

Very nice and smooth.

Don, Oct 27, 2019

Excellent taste and this will go smoothly with many different mixes.

Stephen, Oct 25, 2019

Excellent flavor! Very syrupy. I recommend letting it water down on the rocks for a bit before sipping but great whiskey overall.

Don, Oct 15, 2019

Very good taste to just set back and sip.

Don, Oct 15, 2019

This has an amazing cheery flavor and will blend well with many drunk mixes

Louis, Oct 9, 2019

Great taste

Laura, Oct 8, 2019

Loved it. Almost like a Port.

Timothy, Sep 14, 2019

Great mix with a sour soda or cola depending on your mood.

Jared, Sep 13, 2019

Extreme dark cherry flavor tastes very syrupy would recommend drinking with coke to get like a cherry coke drink.

Doug, Sep 10, 2019

If you love cherries, this is for you. I liked this whiskey in VERY small amounts. The fruit flavor is not too sweet and you are able to get other flavors in addition to cherries. Ultimately, for me at least, this is a whiskey that I have to mix to enjoy.

Leslie, Sep 6, 2019

Love this whiskey!!! Goes very well with diet Dr. Pepper. Smooth cherry flavor that goes down well. Top product and my personal favorite. Would like to see more fruit flavored whiskeys!

Gary, Sep 5, 2019

Great cherry flavor, dry finish not to sweet. Purchased mainly to make summer fun drinks. Will buy it again

John, Aug 24, 2019

It fails as a whiskey but works as a mixer. There is nothing subtle about this drink it's all cherry, maybe if you squint you can taste some of the other flavors in it's profile.

Kevin, Aug 17, 2019

What sort of fresh hell did I just drink? It's like the Lucky Charms Leprechaun had syphillis and took a burning cherry flavored piss in my mouth. It's worse than the worst Mad Dog 2020 you struggled to find coins in the couch to pay for when you were 16 and trying to pay a hobo to buy you booze.

Casey, Aug 2, 2019

This isn't even a whiskey it's a liquer and likewise it was disappointing. Much too sweet, horrible on the rocks.

Jennifer, Jul 30, 2019

This is actually considerably sweeter than I expected. It does make a great mixer, however, I didn't really enjoy it on the rocks.

Wayde, Jul 18, 2019

I you like the nostalgia of being sick as a child, and getting spoons of cough medicine, this one is an accurate representation of that memory. Extremely disappointed.

Wendy, Jun 30, 2019

It was too sweet and reminded me of cough syrup. It might be very good paired with ice cream or as an aperitif.

STEVEN, Jun 22, 2019

good on the rocks

Grant, Jun 21, 2019

Tasted like cough syrup mixed with whiskey. Was too sour for my palette.

Stephanie, Jun 6, 2019

Not something I enjoyed straight or on the rocks, taste too much like cough syrup. It is not bad with a splash of ginger ale, very smooth and light.

Jesus, Jun 5, 2019

It is really smooth start with a mellow cherry flavor end with some spice. Definitely a nice wiskey to sit and sip on.

Robert, Jun 2, 2019

Very smooth with a slight bite. It was nice change of pace to have a nice sour instead of overly sweet or cough syrup that is common in cherry flavorings

Rene, May 8, 2019

too sweet, and the cheery overpowers the whiskey flavors; very poorly balanced finished it by using it as a hard-sauce for bread pudding (worked very well for that)

William, May 8, 2019

Great after dinner aperitif and also used in making double chocolate brownies. Forget the water and substitute Michigan Tart Cherry Bourbon. Friend and foe , alike, will be on your side from the moment you serve them some of these hot brownies. Cap a dinner off right either way and be the King for a Day. The Queens spot was already taken!! Hey, it's Mothers Day, the Queen deserves a treat.

Brian, May 4, 2019

not a huge fan, is a bit sweet for my taste, some of my friends enjoyed it but agreed is a touch sweet

James, May 1, 2019

I liked the cherry aroma. I was surprised how sweet it is, especially when chilling with rocks. On a whim I tried half James E. Pepper 1776 with half of Leopold Bros Michigan Cherry Flavored Whiskey on ice and was in heaven.

Joshua, Apr 26, 2019

Awesome! Yes it is sweet and on initial taste straight no ice it can remind you of cough syrup. But...... if you like cherrie juice (a treat I seldom indulge in) this IS for you! It tastes like Cherry juice! A cherry coke - done 👍🏼

ROBERT, Apr 11, 2019

Taste like cherry pie filling. It is rare, so I mix it with 7 up.

ROBERT, Apr 11, 2019

Taste like cherry pie filling. I like to mix it with a little 7 up.

Gregory, Apr 10, 2019

Very sweet. A little too sweet for my taste to drink straight. It works well to make cocktails and even a modified Manhattan.

Glenice, Mar 30, 2019

Unique flavor and surprisingly smooth.

Steven, Mar 29, 2019

Tart but good. If you’re into flavored whiskey this is a nice dessert.

Mike, Mar 28, 2019

Cherry is one of my favorite flavors and when I'm trying to pace myself I often mix too expensive whiskey or rye with Dr. Pepper or other cherry colas. This lets me enjoy cherry flavor without pacing myself. ;) If you like cherry, especially the unique taste of Michigan cherries, it's for you. If you don't then not so much I'm sure. Also mixes great with Vernors if you want to stay Pure Michigan!

Adam, Mar 14, 2019

Amazingly sweet and flavorful

Barry, Mar 4, 2019

I have to say that it's different. When drinking you get the sweet and tart flavor. If you don't like sweet tasting whiskey don't buy this. I used ice to tone it down. This is way better than Evan Williams cherry flavor whiskey. The Leopold Bros. puts the cherry juice in the barrel for 6 months. Evan Williams mixes a cherry liqueur after the is whiskey aged. Then blended. But the Leopold Bros is triple the price.

Olan, Mar 2, 2019

Go to church have a shot of holy Communion wine and save yourself $33

Barry, Feb 23, 2019

I tried it neat and it was to tart then sweet. A little rough. I filled a glass full of ice then the whiskey. Let it sit for 5 minutes and had a sip. Way better! Also Way better then Evan Williams cherry whiskey. If you don't like sweet then don't buy this. I will not buy this again. But I don't regret trying it.

Sean, Feb 21, 2019

A unique blend of tartness and sweetness. Very nice!

Brian, Feb 17, 2019

I loved the unique flavor!! Heavy taste of cherry with a whiskey finish. Liked it best chilled and neat.

Matthew, Feb 15, 2019

Much too sweet and cloying if you drink it straight. It wasn't as bad a taste as cough syrup, but it was pretty close. I found that it was much better when mixed with seltzer or some other liquor that could help to balance the flavor. But if I'm going to spend this much money on a bottle, I don't want to have to use it for mixed drinks.

Benjamin, Feb 13, 2019

Very sweet, and tart! Defiantly cherry tasting. Great as a mixer!

Jacob, Feb 13, 2019

Too Sweet, the cherry overpowers the conventional taste of whiskey....more like a brandy

Josh, Jan 18, 2019

It tasted like cough syrup more than whiskey. The cherry flavor overpowered any hint of whiskey, and it was quite thick when drank

Chris, Jan 10, 2019

Wanted to like this so badly, but overly sweet. Consistency too thick.

David, Jan 3, 2019

with a splash of 7-up it makes great highballs. It will only get better come summer. light, fruity and refreshing.

Robert, Dec 30, 2018

Far too sweet to be called whiskey. If you added a tablespoonful to a 750 ml bottle of a mild whiskey, it would impart a nice hint of cherry. It was NOT a sippin' whiskey.

Michele, Dec 28, 2018

Wonderful dessert whiskey. It was very swe3and yummy

David, Dec 25, 2018

I was very interested in tying it, amazing color, but it was too sweet for my taste.

Scott, Dec 24, 2018

The flavored taste did not go over well with this bottle

Wesley, Dec 23, 2018

I like this I really like the cherry flavor in this, the taste at the end takes a little getting used to but overall this is a great whiskey that I can drink with or without mixing.

Sean, Dec 14, 2018

But this. 10 out of 10.

Sean, Dec 14, 2018

Sweet tart cherries. Nice all by itself. Could easily be a mixer. Like the color and boldness.

Jeff, Dec 10, 2018

This is maybe the worst tasting stuff I have ever had. Cough syrup with alcohol. Un drinkable.

Sean, Dec 7, 2018

The first notes I got were actually Coconut...weird I know. All enjoyed this yummy offering...

Robert, Dec 2, 2018

Did not like. Almost syrup like. Would not buy again.

Terry, Dec 1, 2018

It’s is great and not too sweet to drink straight. I prefer to drink it straight.

Sharli, Nov 29, 2018

SOOOOOOOOO SWEET! This absolutely cannot be consumed on its own at room temp and it tastes absolutely nothing like Manhattans, as advertised. It's not completely horrendous on ice but I would never ever buy this again. #regret

Byron, Nov 28, 2018

Not so great on its own as it's much too sweet but I can see this being a staple as a mixer

Byron, Nov 28, 2018

Probably much better as a mixer due to it being much too sweet for me. Would make amazing Manhattans tho.

Michael, Nov 26, 2018

Wonderful cherry taste with the nice bit of whiskey. I want more!

Josee, Nov 22, 2018

Its different. No i did not detect any hints of oak or lamb spleen. Just strong cherry goodness.

Dana, Nov 17, 2018

Taste like a chocolate covered cherry. Wonderful!

Carrie, Nov 14, 2018

omg delicious....you must try this chilled straight out of the bottle....mmmmmm

jacob, Nov 13, 2018

All I can say is wow!!

Erin, Nov 11, 2018

Very good for a flavored whiskey. It has a very bold flavor. It much better once the ice melts and thins it a little. Accented well with an orange peel

Jonathan, Nov 11, 2018

Have to approach this more like a liqueur rather than a whiskey. Doing so myself, I still thought it'd only be slightly cherry - a hint if you will. No, this delivers on the cherry immensely (wife regularly has cherry juice for health, so I have a control to compare against). There really is no skimp on the cherry flavor (can't see how others have said no fruit)! So, it's a cherry packed whiskey that drinks more like a liqueur - with a punch. With that out of the way, preconceptions should be more appropriate... and possibly allow for appreciation of the baseline spirit that holds this crafted nectar. Like nectar, it is sweet. I first enjoyed neat, then added a clear cube to admire the vibrant color. It's palatable and down right enjoyable as such if you're willing to accept that it's a sweet, cherry whiskey (not whiskey with a hint of cherry flavor - sans sweetness). I immediately thought to fall and holidays (akin to cranberry) and the copious ways to work with this like I would cranberry juice (where I'd like an alcohol addition). First cocktail was an eclectic Boulevardier. I thoroughly enjoyed it as I do the base cocktail. While I'd prefer standard whiskey/rye, I liked the cherry play on the combination. Next I swapped Aperol in for Campari and found that equally delicious. As I write this, I realize I need to do a take on the Paper Plane - so that will come tonight. Whether you treat this as a liqueur topper or base spirit, the flavor is potent and piercing in a way that is workable for custom enjoyment. Play around and find your style if you've already procured - or think you will soon. Enjoy nonetheless.

Jonathan, Nov 12, 2018

Made for a terrific Paper Plane - thinking a split difference with straight whiskey in any/all cases cited before will be a nice in-between

Alan, Nov 9, 2018

Reminded me of Robitussin cough medicine.

Kaelin, Nov 7, 2018

Sugary sweet. No natural flavor. Very disappointing.

Kaelin, Nov 7, 2018

Sweet no natural fruit taste. Very disappointing.

Ben, Nov 1, 2018

Must be enjoyed Chilled or mixed. This is one of the Best! Flavor is Spot On! This will be one to keep on hand at all times.

Kevin, Oct 30, 2018

Great taste. Broke out for a family gathering. My brother's are not big whiskey drinkers but were sold on this when mixed with a Coke.

Travis, Oct 27, 2018

Great taste but it is very sweet. We ended up mixing it with Truly - Blood Orange flavored sparkling water. It knocked the sweet down some without killing the flavor much and the Truly helped keep the ABV up vs normal sparkling water.

Robert, Oct 26, 2018

A bit on the sweet side for my usual taste, but with a heavy splash of soda water it makes for an easy-drinkin fruity cocktail. If you like your sweetness to mask a whisky edge, could be for you.

Justin, Oct 26, 2018

If you want a clearerly cherry forward booze. This is for you. Not my favorite drink but it has its place. Also, bottle is gone.

Lisa, Oct 25, 2018

It is very sweet. This is more of a syrup than a whiskey. I'm guessing it would be great on ice cream. This is one to mix. I would not recommend drinking this straight. Add soda and you have an okay soft drink. This is not my preference, but some might like it. Very strong cherry flavor, not like cough syrup

Michelle, Oct 22, 2018

As an add into an Old fashioned it is great. But too much like medicine alone

Chad, Oct 21, 2018

After reading the very mixed reviews I may be missing something. I was looking forward to this, having discovered "The 36th Vote" by High West Distillery, a great distilled manhattan. This however, after one sip was too much. I added water and ice in the hope on knocking back the flavor a bit and it only made it slightly more drinkable. I like my whiskey with only one or two ice cubes. I can't do that with this. I am too old for an alcoholic cherry coke but maybe a few drops in a manhattan might be ok, but too much of this and it will ruin whatever you're making the manhattan out of. If you like really sweet, syrupy drinks (yes cough syrup like) then give this a try, other wise I would recommend staying away,

David, Oct 18, 2018

A little too much cherry and not enough whiskey flavor. Borders on the line of tasting like cough syrup. Not entirely bad but you really need to be in the mood for something different. Makes a good whisky and coke though

Chris, Oct 17, 2018

I was surprised at how delicious this was! I was somewhat expecting it to be like cherry Nyquil but it's not at all. The whiskey punch was definitely there and the cherry flavor paired well with it. Straight or mixed with a bit of mountain dew, it's superb.

Crispin, Oct 11, 2018

I can’t believe how they managed to create and preserve the taste of fresh cherries . Close your eyes and you’ll swear your eating one, until you realize there’s no pit. Very smooth and subtle; not a syrup or gimmick taste. Served chilled, it’s an incredible treat !

Gary, Oct 11, 2018

The wiskey taste was overwhelmed by the sweetness of the cherry.

Megan, Oct 11, 2018

I really enjoyed this. It's really not overly sweet, but you can definitely taste the cherry... And not in an awful cough syrupy way! Tastes like a cherry spinned old fashioned straight out of the bottle!

John, Oct 10, 2018

If you like cherry this is a drink for you. I figured it would be whisky with a hint of cherry but its more like cherry with a hint of whisky. The dark red color is absolutely stunning

garrett, Oct 10, 2018

Interesting cherry infused whiskey. It was not medicinal tasting at all. Similar to a liqueur but not syrupy. I had it on ice. It was smooth and the cherry flavor is definitely there. I am going to try it with coke next....maybe plain old coke or cherry coke.

Andrew, Oct 6, 2018

Perhaps it was the way I served it, but it reminded me of cherry cough syrup.

Pamela, Oct 1, 2018

At first I thought this was a cough syrup - very sweet & no bourbon flavor. But that was wrong. The cherry is very sophisticated and warming. Sad that it has to be kept in the fridge and drank in 60 days once open, but this is so delightful it will not be a problem.

Karen, Sep 21, 2018

This is the second time I've ordered this. Great for sitting around the campfire and sipping. Come this October I will repeat the experience. Maybe make some Jello shots.

Alexander, Sep 19, 2018

Strong cherry smell. Equally strong cherry taste, with a rather strong finish, not unlike cherry-flavored cough syrup. However, mix it with cola, and you've got a fine drink.

Mark, Sep 15, 2018

I loved the cherry taste and how smooth it was to drink. I would have to put this whiskey as one of my favorites.

Russ, Aug 17, 2018

It was a very refreshing and stimulating taste. Was very pleased by the perfect balance of the cherries not to overwhelming and just enough of the right flavor to want more.

Andy, Aug 16, 2018

Too much like cherry syrup. Trying to find and alternative use for this. I cannot serve it straight. Way too sweet.

JOSHUA, Oct 1, 2018

Hi Andy, any luck with alternative uses? I tend to pick up sweet notes very easily so this would great info.

Ken, Aug 15, 2018

I really liked it. It IS sweet, and maybe more sweet than it needs to be. But the comparisons to cough syrup are off base: it tastes fresh, like ripe Michigan cherries soaked in good bourbon whiskey. Real cherries and real bourbon. Very tasty. And as a Michigander, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Timothy, Aug 7, 2018

Fantastic!

Joseph, Aug 4, 2018

It was a little too cherry to drink straight, however it is delicious when mixed with a coke. It did have a good backbone behind the cherry.

Ruben, Aug 4, 2018

It was excellent and I share it with some of my friends and they loved it and some became members and other want to. I highly recommend it and if you refrigerate it the taste is better.

I'll be honest. Straight, this tastes like cough syrup. However, it is a gorgeous mixer and makes a great old fashioned or bourbon and coke. I'll definitely buy again if it comes back, but could not rate it higher without being able to drink it straight.

Brandon, Jul 29, 2018

Too sweet when consumed neat. However, I can see possibly mixing a cocktail with it.

Tim, Jul 25, 2018

This stuff is fantastic. Great for mai tais and whiskey sours. Even straight up.

Karen, Jul 24, 2018

I found this whiskey to have a wee burn when straight, a great cherry flavor on first tasting and just a bit of smoke to it. When mixed into a whiskey sour, it was quite delightful. All in all, it is a smooth whiskey and anyone that doesn't want theirs can send it to me.

Todd, Jul 22, 2018

The cherry was overpowering and gave it a much sweeter taste than what I would prefer.

David, Jul 18, 2018

Tasted more like juice than whiskey. Not terrible to have in your collection for those that want to try something different. I, however, was hoping for just a hint of cherry not cherry juice with a hint of whiskey.

Michael, Jul 7, 2018

I thought this was going to have a hint of cherry. But the cherry flavor was overwhelming it was like a cordial not a whiskey I expected to taste more wood. Won't be buying this again

Greg, Jul 7, 2018

I am still trying to figure out how to drink this

Kurt, Jul 6, 2018

Very cherry, good mixed.

Chris, Jul 2, 2018

I really enjoy the tart cherry flavor, with the hints of caramel sweetness and little oakiness. I have really enjoyed just sitting and sipping this poolside enjoying some sun.

Kurt, Jul 1, 2018

Definately cherry, good mixed. I cant see drinking it any other way.

Silvia, Jun 26, 2018

I love it!!!! I love it straight right out the freezer!!

Michael, Jun 25, 2018

I would not recommend this to anybody I did not like it

Jennifer, Jun 19, 2018

This was really sweet and thick- reminded me of cough syrup. If you're looking for a mixer, this would work. If you're looking for a sipper, this isn't your best option. There are some great cherry whiskey makers in Michigan and would be worth trying instead of this.

Ken, Jun 25, 2018

Hi Jennifer, do you have any recommendations for those Michigan cherry whiskeys?

Adam, Jun 15, 2018

This is a cordial, not a whiskey. It should not be classified and sold as a whiskey. That said, as a mixer, say as a replacement for vermouth in a Rob Roy or Manhattan, or instaed of simple syrup in an Old Fashioned... Quite drinkable.

Richard, Jun 15, 2018

I love cherry, but straight this is a little much. I mix it with Sprite or 7 up.

Carl, Jun 2, 2018

I liked the whiskey but not the cherry taste. Too much of cherry.

Carl, May 31, 2018

The whiskey was good , it had nice taste but the cherry was much. Tone it back 2/3 so there is lighter taste of cherry.

Jeff, May 26, 2018

This was a good mixer with Coke or Dr. Pepper. Terrific cherry flavor.

Nathan, May 18, 2018

At first I found myself disappointed with this buy. I didn't find it very drinkable. It tasted pretty much like cough syrup and had a weird nose. After I while though I have come to enjoy it more. It is a good change of pace and solid summer sipper. It is a little too heavy on the cherry.

Susan, May 15, 2018

While it is tasty, even when mixed with cola, for a kind of cherry-coke, it was still too much overpowering cherry flavor. Didn't try it in coffee because I couldn't imagine how strong it would taste when warm! Not a fav of mine, but glad I tried it.

John, May 7, 2018

Very overbearing cherry by itself was similar to high dollar cough syrup, might be better as a mix

Jim, Apr 28, 2018

very cherry tasting..sweet but just enough to make you enjoy it. Nice warmed up for after dinner drink and good in coffee.

Banyon, Apr 25, 2018

Unbalanced, starts and ends with a unsatisfying fulfillment, they may have tried to cram too many flavors together as their is little to no balance. I’m so disappointed.

Brandy, Apr 24, 2018

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I was worried it would be too sweet, but it it was a lovely balance of sweet with tart. I ended up mixing mine with ginger ale and it tasted like the ginger ale that is released around the holidays that has cranberry added.

Nathan, Apr 20, 2018

Wanted to like this but just couldn’t. Best experience with this is burying it in another drink.

Todd, Apr 13, 2018

Chilled is the way to go with this. I put mine in the freezer. However, it doesn't take away from the overwhelming tart taste of the cherries. It over powers all the other flavors. I would imagine this would be better in some type of mixed drink, rather than drank straight.

Phil, Apr 10, 2018

It’s very sweet but it is wonderful with ice. Tommy Likey

Ronald, Apr 7, 2018

If u like cherry flavored medicine, THIS is the drink for you. Tried it neat, on the rocks, Frozen, and mixed and nothing made this drink taste good. Would not purchase again nor would I recommend

Ken, Jun 25, 2018

Why did you give it 9 stars?

Tracey, Apr 6, 2018

Too sweet for my whiskey taste.

Jared, Apr 4, 2018

Excellent cherry balance... Great as a post dinner drink...

Richard, Mar 23, 2018

A little sweet for me. Goes good with some type of mix.

Michael, Mar 20, 2018

One of the worst I have ever tasted. If you like cherry flavored NyQuil, then this is the flavor for you. I guess i should have known, but my thought was it would have a hint of cherry. It did not, it had all the cherries and then added whiskey

Brittany, Mar 1, 2018

A great cherry flavor, and not medicinal like most cherry products. Sweet, but easy drinking straight or on the rocks! Would definitely purchase again.

Paul, Feb 21, 2018

I love the cherry flavour, but this one is way too much. Too sweet for my taste. Fits well into something like whiskey ginger, but not great by itself. Would not buy another.

Robert, Feb 17, 2018

This is really wonderful! Cherries and vanilla, with a little sparkling water! Love it!

Christopher, Feb 17, 2018

The cherry was overwhelming out of the gate. Too thick, too sweet. I tried my hardest to find anything whiskey in this but it just wasn't there. After a couple drinks it left me with a severe headache unfortunately. I tried hard to like it but just wasn't to be. I'll be experimenting with it to see if we can come up with an interesting mixed drink.

John, Feb 17, 2018

Excellent to sip! Very flavorful. Will definitely buy again.

Maurice, Feb 15, 2018

Well it was very flavorful.. Had a hard kick...but ok. Really had to learn how to drink it. In the end learned to love it 7 out of 10 star$$

Dave, Feb 14, 2018

When I opened the bottle, I could smell the cherry right away. Smelled very good. Tasted good as well, but it seemed a bit like a mash of cherry Hi-C fruit juice & whiskey blended together. Very sticky, as I handled the bottle during the pour and it ran down the neck of the bottle. I had a little headache, probably from the sugar, after a few glasses. It cured my curiosity. I won't be buying another.

Glenn, Feb 13, 2018

This isn't grandma's cherry juice. While the drink is a little sweet at the start, the bold cherry flavor with a true, tart cherry finish, will make you glad you ordered it. Sip and enjoy.

Kerry, Feb 13, 2018

Sweet, but with a kick. Definitely just for sipping in small quantities. Nice tart finish.

Gregory, Feb 10, 2018

Excellent sipping drink. Full cherry flavor finish.

Thiebaud, Feb 10, 2018

Too sweet

GARY, Feb 8, 2018

Much better than I expected. Very good.

Kevin, Feb 4, 2018

Very sweet, very smooth. A little too sweet/syrupy for my taste, but definitely has a good cherry flavor.

Ben, Jan 30, 2018

A little sweet for my taste, but good

Jim, Jan 30, 2018

Very sweet yet it has a great aftertaste! Leaves the back of the mouth warm and numb! I'd definitely buy it again.

Donna, Jan 25, 2018

Very smooth, initially rather sweet, but finishes with a somewhat tart cherry. While I agree in part with some of the "liqueur" comments, I didn't feel it was a semi-thick consistency. Great for sipping in front of the fire and a delightful change of pace. I enjoyed this so much that I've just ordered 3 additional bottles!

Sterling, Jan 22, 2018

So smooth that you will hardly know you're drinking whiskey. A rich, semi-thick consistency like a liqueur. Very sweet and with a soft cherry flavor. I joined Flaviar specifically so I could order more and get the discount/free-shipping on this whiskey.

Jason, Jan 17, 2018

Very smooth, no doubt you can taste the cherry, with a very full body that’ll coat your mouth. However, in my opinion, I would almost consider this more of a liqueur or after dinner dessert drink similar to a Port, in case you are thinking it to be more like a traditional whiskey.

John, Dec 20, 2017

This drinks more likes liqueur than s whiskey. It’s very sweet. The cherry is the driving flavor here. That being said it is very tasty with a fresh cherry flavor. In fact the bottle requires refrigeration after opening to maintain freshest flavor. The bottle also informs that peak flavor declines after 6 months so plan to drink accordingly. If you like cherry flavor I would highly recommend this. It’s probably a great cocktail mixing ingredient. If you want to add cherry flavor and sweetness to any drink this is the one to use.

Barb, Dec 4, 2017

wonderful!

JUSTIN, Nov 24, 2017

Very delicious.

Deron, Nov 23, 2017

As a cherry lover I felt the flavor was spot on! Recommend not drinking itmon the rocks.

Jeremy, Nov 15, 2017

No one could say its not cherry(y)

Jim, Nov 11, 2017

Amazing! Love the taste!

Quintin, Nov 8, 2017

Great flavor profile and easy on the pallet

Karen, Oct 27, 2017

Shared it with my family while camping. Everyone loved it. Suggested I get more to use as cough medicine instead of OTC stuff that doesn't work any way. Yummy!

Paul, Oct 21, 2017

I loved this ! The cherry flavor came through with a sweet tart taste. Will definitely purchase this again.

William, Oct 20, 2017

Smooth and definitely tasty... The one that easily gets the job done.

John, Oct 18, 2017

It was a bit sweeter than I thought it might be, but I soon started craving it. More please!

Kimberly, Oct 18, 2017

I was so worried that this would be too sweet and too artificial, but I was so pleasantly surprised! the tartness of the cherry compliments the whiskey so well, and it's way too easy to drink.
