Bottle Shop Series #2: Highball Drifter
There’s a new sheriff in town – meet Highball Drifter, a barrel-aged sipper inspired by our favorite bourbon-based cocktails. The second entry in our Bottle Shop Series, Highball Drifter presents aromatics of caramel and vanilla, dried fruit and spice while hints of cherry and bitter orange peel whisk you away like a tumbling tumbleweed. Call us old-fashioned, but we think you’re going to love it. 11% ABV.

355ml bottle at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a dark reddish amber colour with a thin white head. The aroma is toffee caramel vanilla. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, orange peel, red berry fruits, dry oaky, warm boozy bourbon alcohol bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. 11% but the alcohol is well hidden. Nicely balanced. Would have another if I possessed a second liver!

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown with amber highlights. Bourbon, cherry and chocolate aromas on the nose. As it warms some orange zest comes out. Bourbon definitely stands out on the palate as well, but the cherry and orange zest really work well. Some cola-like notes as it warms up. Lingering cherry, orange and bourbon on the finish. I like.
