Ethan's Reserve Sorghum Whiskey (750ml)

Ethan's Reserve is the first kosher-for-Passover whiskey in the world. Bruce Boeko distills it at Nashville Craft Distillery, using sorghum stalk syrup in place of grain. What comes out is a small-batch American whiskey, so the Pesach table can finally have a real dram after cholent.

Mood: Rare. Warm. Historic.

Tasting notes

The nose opens with vanilla cake batter, honey, and toasted oak, plus a gentle floral lift. It is honeyed and soft on the palate, where butterscotch and light spice are layered against a slight earthiness that anchors the sweetness. The finish is long and warming, and it carries charred-oak vanilla and a touch of caramel right to the last sip.

Food pairing

It is beautiful neat once a Yom Tov meal is over, or on the rocks next to brisket, smoked meats, and dark chocolate desserts. When other whiskeys are off the table, it is a natural for the Pesach seudah.
