Smokey Whiskey Sour
4.5/ 10
Completely lacking foam, with a strong smoky aroma that’s actually quite pleasant and lingers for a long time.
The taste has notes of wood and whiskey barrel, but there's a prominent flavor of kerosene, like rocket fuel.
It’s a very sour drink, too sour in fact; a touch of sweetness would improve the taste.
Fortunately, the sourness isn’t unpleasant and doesn’t cause any uncomfortable scratchiness in the throat.
All the flavors are distinct and separate. They don’t blend together or complement each other.
They fail to create a cohesive, balanced cocktail.
