Whiskey Union Boxing Hares
(0.7l, 35%)
Scotch vs. Beer.
Ladies, gents and connoisseurs of all things good... there’s a new Whiskey collective in town that’s set to surprise and please our Whiskey senses and that it does. Whiskey Union proclaim themselves as a creative collective of Whiskey makers, visionaries and hedonists in pursuit of unconventional blends and extraordinary flavor sensations. While the established brands craft the Bentleys and the Jaguars of Whiskey—which is all fine and dandy—the fellas at Whiskey Union choose to break with convention, experiment with flavor and tread on the sporty side of things; they manufacture well-tuned Ferraris, so to speak, to keep your taste buds on the edge and your belly humming.
Boxing Hares is the second of the three unconventional expressions they’ve released so far, the other two being Smoky Goat and Huxley. Now… who would you root for if Scotch and Beer faced each other in a ring? Let us tell you that there are no losers here only the one winning combination. Pete Brewin, a master distiller at Whiskey Union, decided to mix Scotch with the hops from craft beers (Hallertau, hops commonly used in the making of German pilsners; and Cascade, a variety that adds a distinctive bitter note to the American craft beers).
The result is a distinctive Scotch sporting a creamy sweet character that is masterfully complemented by the fruity freshness of the added hops. Boxing Hares is a toast to springtime and life itself, an easy drinking Scotch with a refreshing taste that can be mixed with a lemonade, tonic or ginger beer into a long drink or serve short & sweet with lime as a shot.
Uncle Flaviar approves.

Scotch Whisky is almost never aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation, while many times ageing process and flavour finishing is concluded in various wine casks, such as sherry or port.

Ratings & Reviews
Andrew,
You know how you always thought Scotch should be poured over a pint of flat IPA before sipping?
What's that? You have taste buds and anything remotely resembling a palate and that sounds absolutely terrible to you?
This is the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth.
I literally do not ever waste alcohol and I couldn't even suffer through an ounce and a half of this.
I wouldn't use this to sterilize medical equipment because the contact would probably reintroduce the plague.
Dear God, I can still taste it.
What did I do to deserve this?
Why? Who greenlit this abomination?
Terrible. Just terrible.
Andrew,
One of the worst things I've ever tasted. How do I get a refund and compensation for putting myself through this?
Alecia,
reading others reviews, typically I'd agree. I'm not a sweet whiskey, sweet wine, sweet spirits kind of guy. The 1st sip, I was overwhelmed by the sweetness. After letting it settle in, it won me over. I absolutely loved it, went to buy a bottle to be disappointed it wasn't available, but quickly threw in the wish list.
Leanna,
Far too sweet. Tastes like a mix drink with syrup already
