Infused Whiskey vs Flavored Whiskey

An important piece to remember is that Von Payne Black is INFUSED with black currants, not black currant flavored (although the flavor of Von Payne is likely black currant). They may be the same thing in your mind, but it’s an important distinction.

Flavored whiskey uses artificial or “natural” flavorings. They’re often sugary sweet, and you can usually tell that it’s a fake flavoring. This doesn’t mean they’re bad necessarily, it just is what it is.

Infused whiskey, on the other hand, steeps the spirit through whatever it’s infused with. In this case, black currant. The whiskey is run through black currant and soaks up the flavors, sugars, oils, colors, and other minerals and compounds.

The whiskey is then filtered to remove any pieces or chunks from the spirit.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Some of that 90 proof shows up on the nose. Oak, grapes, raisins are on the nose with black currant, of course. However, the black currant isn’t as potent as I thought it may be.

Palate: Well, it definitely shows up on the palate. It starts out with the oak and a touch of alcohol and earthen spice, and then the black currant takes over. The mouthfeel isn’t too bad and it’s not a sharp flavor.

Finish: I almost get a bit of lemon at the back of the palate and finish. Oak and black currant on the finish again.

Its functional metal gargoyle pour spout makes pouring an absolute breeze.

A real natural black currant infusion ensures no artificial flavour or colour.
