The spruce element dominates right away, giving the nose a brisk, piney quality that rides on top of a sweeter character driven by vanilla, peanut butter, and milk chocolate. There&#8217;s a Christmassy spice quality here that goes beyond the evergreen character, including a few notes of ginger and cloves.<\/p>\n<p>On the palate there&#8217;s quite a bit of fruit here &#8212; all those lush plums, perhaps &#8212; with ample vanilla and milk chocolate and a strong edge of cinnamon. This is overlaid throughout with those piney spruce notes, something like a whiskey cocktail that&#8217;s been laced with a juniper-forward gin. The whiskey is surprisingly buttery, which helps develop the dark chocolate notes that perk up on the finish. This cocoa nib character surprises &#8212; but helps the whiskey come off like the dessert on your holiday table. (Alas, at no time does the whiskey evoke anything that I&#8217;d say tastes like goose, aside from a salty and vaguely savory quality somewhere in the middle.)<\/p>\n<p>Better than a lot of Tamworth&#8217;s mad scientist experiments. Sorry we didn&#8217;t get the review up in time for Christmas, but there&#8217;s always next year. Pick one up and hang on to it.<\/p>\n<p>100 proof.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B+ \/ $65 (200ml) \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/tamworthdistilling.com\/\">tamworthdistilling.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drinkhacker.com\/2025\/01\/16\/review-spruce-goose-flavored-whiskey\/\">Review: Spruce &#038;
