This MIGHT have been ok with a black base?¿?
I can’t taste the orange peel which I believe would
have enhanced the experience for me.
I am not crazy about almond extract either.
Nothing about this is my style, blech…

The name of this one would appeal to Husband immensely, whisky enthusiast that he is. :D

LOL…I could drink whiskey If I weren’t dieting, but this (to me) doesn’t correlate to whiskey when I drink it ?

This one seems more like a substitute for coffee rather than a tea, but I liked it a lot. It does not correlate to whiskey to me either.

‘Cask strength’ is a whisky term. It neams the alcohol strength of the whisky in the cask. When bottled, it’s usually watered down to around 40% because that makes far less expensive to produce and the taste more appealing to most consumers. You can get some that were bottled at cask strength, which you would then dilute yourself when drinking but these are very expensive. These are the things I’ve learned with a whisky enthusiast Husband and ditto father. Never touch the stuff myself, it’s icky.

I imagine they probably thought the rooibos base could simulate the wood of the cask, maybe? Rooibos has a sort of wood-y flavour to me.
