Inspired by the Prohibition Era, Bootlegger is distilled from grain and in the US would be categorised as white whiskey or white dog. Although unaged, the makers say they sought to replicate the subtle smoky characteristics imparted from the barrels 1920's American Moonshine were stored in.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 28/10/2012

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Clean black peppery spirit with fudge, toffee, cream soda vanilla and boiled sweet red berry-like aromas.

Taste:

Basically a subtly flavoured vodka with toffee, vanilla faint raspberry with cracked black pepper spirit bite.

Aftertaste:

Burnt toffee and match box striking paper flavours linger on the tongue a tad too long. Clever packaging and branding around what is extensively a flavoured vodka.
