  Whiskey Sho(r)t – Jeppson’s Bourbon QuickTaste + Malört Cocktail | Listener Submission!

  Aug 21, 202617 minS15

  Video version: https://youtu.be/5dV_KkwkeQ4 So, when a listener gifted us a bottle of whiskey, we took a look at the label and said, “Wait, Malört makes a Bourbon?!” Because if you’re not familiar with Malört, it’s an extremely bitter liqueur made from wormwood, the main ingredient in Absinthe, but without any anise, sweetness, or complexity. So, can the palates that produce the most bitter drink on the planet be trusted to craft a good whiskey? Press play and find out!
