Dragon’s Milk Origin Small Batch Whiskey

Posted by whiskeywench on

If you’ve never heard of Dragon’s Milk, well, neither had I until this past weekend! We had the chance to sample three of their expressions at an event we attended, and I have to say, one really caught my attention. But before we get into that, let’s talk a little about the brand.

Dragon’s Milk comes from Holland, Michigan, where Brett Vanderkamp began experimenting with aging stout in used bourbon barrels. Since then, the brand has expanded beyond beer and into the world of whiskey with its Small Batch Bourbons.

We had the chance to try their Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey, Bottled in Bond, and Toasted Single Barrel. While I enjoyed all three, there was one that stood out to me, and that was their Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey. So, let’s talk about it!

Nose: light sweetness, fruit, and citrus

Palate: malt, chocolate, peaches, vanilla, and spices

Finish: oak, spices, and chocolate

ABV: 47.5% | Cost: $44

What made this bourbon so interesting to me was just how different it was. I kept going back for another sip because there was something about it that I really enjoyed. And let me tell you, the peaches! I picked up such a prominent peach note, unlike anything I’ve experienced in other whiskeys. It balanced beautifully with the chocolate, vanilla, and spices, making each sip feel warm, comforting, and almost holiday-like. It was delicious!

Truth be told, this isn’t your typical bourbon, and I think that’s exactly why I enjoyed it so much. If you’re a bourbon purist, this might not be for you, but if you enjoy trying something a little different, I think you’ll appreciate what this has to offer. And for the price, you really can’t go wrong.

My only regret? Not buying a bottle! Although, with the amount of whiskey we already have at home, I had to show some restraint. But trust me, I’ll eventually be adding this one to our collection.

If you’re looking for something unique, affordable, and perfect for the holiday season, this is one worth checking out. I’m glad we had the chance to discover Dragon’s Milk, and I’m already looking forward to exploring more of their lineup! Have you tried anything from Dragon’s Milk? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Cheers!
