Paniolo Blended Whiskey

Description

Paniolo Blended Whiskey takes you on a tastebud journey that bridges American tradition with Hawaiian flair. It starts with a base of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, aged in charred oak barrels for that classic smooth character and rich notes of caramel, brown sugar, and vanilla. Here’s where the Hawaiian influence comes in: Maui Gold Pineapple Distillate, a neutral spirit, is carefully blended with the bourbon. This distillate, though derived from pineapple, is filtered to remove any pineapple flavor.

So what does it taste like? The magic lies in the subtle interplay. The neutral pineapple spirit acts like a smoothing agent, rounding out the bourbon’s edge and creating an incredibly mellow experience. The classic bourbon notes take center stage, with the caramel and brown sugar flavors upfront, offering a touch of sweetness. Hints of vanilla add a layer of complexity, while some tasters report picking up on subtle, toasty notes from the charred oak barrel aging. The finish is clean and smooth, with a lingering hint of sweetness that some describe as reminiscent of sweet corn.
