Evan Williams Kentucky Cider

This sugary mix is neither a proper cider nor a real whiskey. It's like the low-budget, imitation Hallmark Christmas Movie of seasonal alcoholic drinks, using cloying sweetness to mask its terrible quality. Flavors of cough syrup and corn sugar give way to a medley of artificial autumn tastes on the finish, making you crave water to wash away the regret. The disappointingly low alcohol content provides no justification for its existence. Save your money and get some actual hard cider instead.

An intriguing creation. Don't get this if you're seeking genuine whiskey. However, if you want something unique for the winter holidays, this is it. The cider flavor isn't like mainstream brands; it's more reminiscent of old-fashioned spiced cider. Best enjoyed warm on a very cold day.

This is unbelievably good. The smell is very much like a fall candle, but wow, drink this warm or in a chilled cocktail. And the price is only $9.99!

I get a bottle of this annually for Christmas. It's quite sweet but festive. Not overly strong, making it easy to drink.

This has a wonderful flavor and a slight kick. I like it more than the Jack Daniel's cider.

A bit too sweet, but genuinely good. It's one of the few I can share with my wife.
