Climax Honey Raspberry Whiskey
35% ABV (70 proof) | 750mL | Honey + raspberry flavored whiskey | From Tim Smith of Discovery's Moonshiners | Climax, Virginia — Climax Honey Raspberry Whiskey comes from third-generation moonshiner Tim Smith of Discovery Channel's Moonshiners: his legal whiskey brand out of Climax, Virginia, blending smooth whiskey with real honey sweetness and ripe raspberry. Sweet, fruity, and easy-drinking at 70 proof. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
This is the flavored-whiskey crowd-pleaser of the Climax lineup — honey up front, raspberry through the middle, whiskey warmth underneath. Among flavored American whiskeys, the Tim Smith backstory and the honey-raspberry combination make it a natural for shots, summer cocktails, and anyone who finds straight whiskey too serious. Serve chilled or over ice; it also mixes into a simple raspberry whiskey lemonade.
