Regardless, bourbon liqueurs, while popular with the general public, aren’t something frequently talked about in whiskey enthusiast media. To be labeled as bourbon, the majority, at least 51 percent, of the mash bill has to be made with corn. If you don’t have Pursuit United on hand, I recommend a Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon private selection with similar vibrant woody qualities. Russell was raised in a bourbon-loving household, and he jokingly explains that he got his idea from a family cough medicine that mixed bourbon with honey, citrus juice, and sugar.As TornadoSD explains, whiskey liqueurs like American Honey go well with mixers (think of soda or tonic water), but you can also serve them neat or over ice, which will slightly tone down their sweetness. The story is that Jimmy Russell created it to induce his wife to drink whiskey with him in the 1970’s. Since my kids love this stuff I think an opportunity for Wild Turkey would be to try different types of honey in it – Clove, Apple, Dandelion, Acacia, etc – and see how the flavor changes.

I’d consider this an easy “anytime cocktail” – one particularly suited for a post-lunch vacation sipper.As you would expect from a blend of honey and bourbon, the combination is rich and luscious on the palate, while the finish is pleasant and long-lasting. It didn’t save bourbon, or even Wild Turkey, from the even harder times ahead, but it undoubtedly cushioned the blow. Well, it’s likely relative to why I haven’t covered American Honey until now – because it’s not a straight whiskey.
