Whiskey Union Boxing Hares
(0.75l, 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.

Ratings & Reviews
Juan,
A very different but interesting drink. Sweet and creamy, almost syrupy.
Not for me but can appreciate the ginger flavor use cases.
Ron,
The fruit sweetness is front and center, way to powerful for me. Color is perfect. The fruit really overpowers the alcohol. Wife gives it a 2.
Katherine,
Smooth with a hint of sweetness. Can’t find it anywhere in California, hope glacier gets some in stock soon
Michael,
This is a really interesting drink. Very sweet and creamy. Ginger and hops
Tim,
Different. Definitely sweet. Smooth. Dessert type.
