Appalachian Sippin' Cream is a unique and flavorful cream liqueur that is made with unaged whiskey, also known as legal moonshine. This type of whiskey is often characterized by its clear appearance and its high alcohol content, typically ranging from 40% to 50% ABV (alcohol by volume).
Unlike traditional aged whiskeys, unaged whiskey does not undergo the maturation process in oak barrels. Instead, it is distilled and bottled immediately, resulting in a spirit that retains the raw and vibrant flavors of the distillate. This imparts a distinct character to the Appalachian Sippin' Cream, making it different from other cream liqueurs on the market.
The use of unaged whiskey in this cream liqueur adds a unique twist to the classic Irish cream. It brings a rich and robust flavor profile that complements the creamy sweetness of the drink. The higher alcohol content of the unaged whiskey also provides a warming sensation when sipped, adding complexity to the overall drinking experience.
Appalachian Sippin' Cream is available in a variety of flavors, such as butter pecan, banana pudding, and electric orange. These flavors are carefully crafted to enhance the taste of the cream liqueur and offer a range of options to suit different preferences. Each flavor brings its own unique twist to the creamy base, creating a delightful and indulgent drinking experience.
Personal Experience:
I had the opportunity to try the Appalachian Sippin' Cream during a visit to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where Sugarlands Distilling is located. The butter pecan flavor caught my attention, as I have always been a fan of this classic southern dessert. The cream liqueur had a smooth and velvety texture, and the flavors of butter and pecan were present without being overpowering. The addition of the unaged whiskey added a pleasant warmth and depth to the overall taste, making it a truly enjoyable drink.
The use of unaged whiskey in Appalachian Sippin' Cream sets it apart from other cream liqueurs on the market. It adds a distinctive character and flavor profile that appeals to whiskey enthusiasts and those looking for a unique twist on a classic drink. Whether enjoyed on its own, over ice, or mixed into cocktails, Appalachian Sippin' Cream offers a delightful and indulgent drinking experience.
