Johnny Tuck 3.8

Unusual, but worth experiencing. Personally, it's a favorite. The nose is a little intense. The palate is syrupy sweet from the fig. Almost like jam. Tastes like a Manhattan straight from the bottle. But with sour bitters in the finish that leaves a spiced taste in the mouth. It's very unlike most whiskeys but worth trying.

Rylan Vernon 4.5

Clearly fruity, but not in a low-quality way. A bit of a bite, but remarkably smooth overall. If you wanted a breakfast bourbon, this would be it. Bought in Carmel, Indiana over the holidays, currently having trouble finding it sold anywhere in NYC

Jan Boland 3.5

Remarkably smooth for a rye. The nose is fruity, likely from figs. Fruit flavors carry onto the palate, accompanied by rye spice notes. It has a full mouthfeel and minimal burn. A very unique and pleasing rye whiskey.

Tabatha Barragan 3.0

A joint effort with the Field Museum in Chicago. Figs were used as a sweetener. Someone commented, 'Tastes like tea.' It's too sweet for me to consume in large quantities.

Esteban Amaro 4.3

I'm quite fond of this beverage! The fig flavor is very prominent!

Boyd Norris 3.0

Figgy. Good in a Manhattan, someone suggested.
