Howler Head banana whiskey review: Blindingly sweet, but at least it tastes more or less like a banana. bourbon whiskey cocktails
Spirits writers like myself tend to ignore the entirety of the flavored spirits market, strolling past aisle after aisle of cartoonishly flavored vodkas, rums and whiskeys each and every time we enter a package store. It’s not surprising that these products don’t really fall onto our radar; our arena is more about nuance, subtlety or exceedingly bold flavors that are achieved through a rather more artisanal process than a bottle of “natural flavor.
So with that said, all that’s left is to give this a try and see just how objectionable “banana whiskey” might be. On the palate, Howler Head immediately threatens to veer into candyland, with sticky sweet, syrupy fruitiness that evokes both the obvious banana/plantain and something oddly more like artificial grape flavor. At the same time, I’m getting intense corny sweetness and fresher grain notes, and tons of demerara sugar. This all gives the resulting whiskey a profile something like banana bread pudding, but even sweeter than the dessert in question.
