It’s light without losing character. Smooth without trying too hard. Real bourbon, made for real moments.
We Tried This Canned Whiskey Cocktail And Here's What Our Panel Said
"A sweeter bourbon aroma greeted me upon opening the can, which was a pleasant surprise as some bourbons can definitely be more on the fiery side. And that same sweet scent carried over nicely when poured."
"The lighter amber color is spot on and exactly what you'd expect from a bourbon on the rocks that's been slowly sipped and resting for a bit. No carbonation is a plus as well, and a nice change of pace from many other whiskey RTDs that are of the sparkling variety."
"Light bourbon and water flavor that definitely makes this a good occasion-driven cocktail. Well suited for daytime consumption by bourbon drinkers or as a gateway for new bourbon drinkers wanting to sample the spirit in a different format."
"Super important to be able to smell the spirit in a cocktail like this, and Bourbon Water has done a good job here, even at just 8% ABV. Although this is considerably lighter than a traditional bourbon served neat or on the rocks, it still presents a sweeter — albeit subdued — bourbon flavor up front with a delicate and warm finish."
