Dessert, Distilled
Butterscotch Gold is Sugarlands at its most indulgent: the distillery's unaged corn-and-cane base, softened to 40 proof and loaded with butterscotch, caramel, and vanilla. Brand tasting notes start with vanilla and kettle corn on the nose, move through brown sugar, caramel, and vanilla on the palate, and land on a long, lingering finish of hazelnut and cream. It drinks like a candy counter in a mason jar — and it has the medals to back it up, including Platinum at the SIP Awards and Silver at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
