I recently had a peanut butter whiskey, and I didn't particularly care for it. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. One of the comments that I recall making (or at least thinking quietly to myself) is that it seemed like a waste to spend the extra time and effort it takes to produce moonshine and turn it into whiskey if what you're going to do is cover it up with peanut butter flavor, anyway. To that end, Sugarlands has come to show me the error of my ways with a peanut butter and jelly moonshine. I fully expect to enjoy the crap out of this.
I really do think I'm going to have to start using the Pantone color gradient in order to describe the color of some of these beverages. This one is a little purple added to whiskey color. As a result, it has the basic color of a tiny bit of peanut butter that has been mixed with some jelly. It doesn't have that same consistency, but I'm just going for color here. The aroma smells all of the 35% ABV shoved underneath a thin veneer of jelly that has once touched peanut butter. The presentation implies this is going to be unbalanced.
First sip taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Mind you, it's the worst peanut butter and jelly sandwich I've ever had. The alcohol is losing around the two other ingredients, and it leaves a sharp stick of alcohol right in the middle. As a result, this is not smooth and almost taste like an artificial peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I suppose that's really what this is. This may very well have been made with that weird peanut butter and jelly that you can find all in one jar. The peanut butter is not good, the jelly isn't good, and the alcohol is making things worse.
Subsequent sips get, if anything, significantly worse. Normally, the alcohol will overcome the hesitancy to say that a particular beverage is getting better. That isn't the case here. I'm tossing the rest of this jar, and they aren't cheap enough for me to do this regularly.
Bottom Line: Leave it in Gatlinburg.
0.5/5
