While beer may be the go-to drink for most Americans, it is hard to deny that America has a history with distilled drinks that is as old as the country itself. Whiskey is an American tradition that stretches back to our founding fathers. In recent years, distilled drinks have begun to make a comeback in popularity among all demographics with over one hundred craft distilleries popping up to satisfy the market need.
With the increased demand in distilled drinks, there has also been a rise in the number of craft distilleries offering not-traditional flavored spirits. While whiskey was historically flavored to cover any impurities, distillers are now adding flavors to help their drinks stand out above the rest. At Northwestern Extract we have the TTB flavorings you need in order to make a real name for yourself with your distilled drinks.
Big players like Jim Beam and Jack Daniels have jumped on the flavor train by rolling out delicious whiskies like spiced cinnamon, black cherry, maple and pumpkin spice. With the popularity of cinnamon and experimenting with some heat there are increased opportunities to make your whiskey unique. Adding a darker, woody flavor can help enhance the natural flavors and allow your drink stand out. Apple, blackberry, maple, ginger, and honey have also proven to be popular flavored whiskeys. Talk with one of our whiskey specialists who can help bring your craft whiskey to a whole new level.
In addition to whiskey, the popularity of vodka based mixed drinks has opened up the market for adding flavor to your vodkas. Who doesn’t love vodka that tastes like cotton candy, apple pie, coffee and even bacon, yum!! Berry and floral flavors work well in a vodka as do specialty flavors such as birthday cake or licorice.
