The Flagship Flavor
If Whiskeysmith has a signature, it is Salted Caramel. Butterscotch, cream, vanilla, and roasted nuts layer over the whiskey base, finishing with a candied sweetness that lingers — one reviewer called it his favorite of the six, with a salted-marshmallow-cream finish, and the Beverage Testing Institute's 92-point Gold backs the crowd-pleaser status. It is the bottle that proves the brand's founding thesis: the whiskey lover and the sweet tooth can share a glass. Browse the Whiskeysmith collection and more flavored whiskey at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand and reviewers: butterscotch, cream, vanilla, and roasted nuts on the nose and palate, with caramel and toasted oak; the finish is candied and lingering, with a salted-marshmallow-cream quality one reviewer singled out.
How to Enjoy
Over ice as a dessert pour, or in coffee — it turns an ordinary cup into a caramel latte with intent. In cocktails, it is a one-step salted caramel White Russian (vodka and cream optional, honestly) and a natural with apple cider.
