At first whiff, youвЂ™ll get a strong Butterscotch scent. HereвЂ™s where is starts to get a little tricky. Not too much, but a noticeable transformation takes place. Once poured and a little ice has been introduced, it lightens up a bit. It has the deep, rich mahogany color that I associate with good Maple syrup and, sometimes, a good bourbon. One of the funny things is that it actually looks like Maple syrup in the bottle. That being said, the label is great as-is. A lot of the smaller distilleries are doing that now and itвЂ™s a nice touch. The only thing IвЂ™d like to see added is a batch number or bottle ID on each bottle. It looks hand drawn and has a lot of tiny detail on what feels like high quality label paper. Wow! Maple: Check! Whiskey: Check! The butter / butterscotch flavor is a lot more pronounced than I remember, but I had a few other whiskeys before trying this one last year so myВ taste budsВ may have been slightly impaired. ДЄs soon as I got home the bottle was opened and I was pouring a glass. Finally, I was at Red Wine and Spirits in Bellevue, TN just two weeks ago and there it wasвЂ¦just sitting on the shelf. Finally, I just gave up on finding it locally and hoped it would get more popular soon so I could get my grubby paws on some. Unfortunately, I didnвЂ™t use said business card other than to simply hang it on the wall by my desk.ДЇor a few weeks after the show, whenever I was in a liquor store IвЂ™d check to see if they had it. She did, however, have business cards for Cabin Fever so I took one. She worked for the arena, not Cabin Fever and is just there to pour, mkay? Okay. Without going into too much detail about that, letвЂ™s just say you donвЂ™t get a lot of time to really taste what youвЂ™re drinking.ДЄfter having a pour of Cabin Fever I stopped the young lady and asked her if she could tell me more about this sweet, sweet nectar. If youвЂ™ve been to the Beer and Bourbon Fest (they are held all over the US) you know that itвЂ™s mostly like a big Frat party.

I first tasted Cabin Fever Maple Whisky last year at the Beer and Bourbon Festival in Nashville, TN.
