Devils Sister Whiskey

Newest Kid on the Block

While browsing my favorite liquor store, I stumbled upon a new spirit that caught my attention. The salesman explained the price and style of the product, and I decided to give it a try. Now, as a reviewer for Evanston Magazine, I want to share my thoughts on this delectable spirit.

The first thing observed is the luster or sheen which indicates that the cigar is quality. In order to enjoy this cigar I dipped it in my favorite whiskey and gave it a good twist so some of the sweet liquor rubs onto it. With a strong draw I found a very smooth and lightly spicy flavor with a note of whiskey.

When I pinch / squeeze the cigar I discovered that it has no weak spots. Wrapper offered nice flavor and aroma. Smoke picked up in spiciness after the first inch. The cigar had a little note of peppery spice on the finish. The flavors started to bloom around the 1/2 way mark. Peppery notes inchedup a bit, while the nutmeg flavor remained constant. The smoke was very consistent. Some notes of espresso leakedin, but this was primarily a very rich-tasting smoke with dark, spicy tobacco flavors.

Aroma: Earthy and relaxing and nutty

Burn / Ash Quality: Inconsistent at first, but fell into line at about the 3½-inch mark. Ash was granular and a bit loose but stood up to the flame and never loss glow.

Balance Of Flavors: Very good sweet tobacco and Nutmeg

Consistency: Very good.

Retrohale: Very smooth and lightly spicy with a note of whiskey.

Upon first opening the bottle, I noticed a very sweet aroma with hints of vanilla and caramel, but what really stood out was a smooth and spicy smell that reminded me of an oatmeal cookie. After taking a sip, I noticed notes of fruit, honey, caramel, and vanilla, with a strong and warm flavor profile that eventually gave way to the taste of oak, caramel, and honey. While rye was noticeable, it played more of a supporting role in the flavor profile.

This spirit offers a unique and complex flavor profile, with a peppery kick that is balanced out by the sweet and softer tones. What’s even more impressive is that it is competitively priced and offers quality that rivals Bulleit Bourbon. After conducting some research, I discovered that this spirit is sourced, distilled, and bottled by a company owned by a friend, which only adds to its appeal.

In fact, I found several reviews online that echoed my own sentiments. According to Distiller.com, the spirit offers a “silky, delicate body with flavors of black cherry, orange peel, honey, and caramel,” and received a rating of 88/100. Other reviewers noted the spicy kick and smooth finish, as well as the fact that it can be enjoyed both on its own or in a cocktail.

Overall, I highly recommend giving this spirit a try. It offers a unique and complex flavor profile at a competitive price, and the fact that it is sourced and distilled by a friend’s company only adds to its charm.
