Long Road Distillers Cherry – This is Long Road’s cherry brandy, a limited release distilled from Michigan cherries. Approachable even though it’s over 50% abv, and fun to drink.
The palate is initially racy, but the pepper quickly settles down to reveal notes of fresh pine needles, cherry fruit, and a touch of antiseptic astringency. The nose is very fragrant, loaded with fresh pepper aromas along with a gentle fruit character that tempers the spice with sweetness. Long Road Distillers Wendy Peppercorn – This is an exotic name for an overproof vodka that’s spiked with pink peppercorns, pepper being a classic Scandinavian garnish. Long Road keeps it simple throughout - there’s no overload of herbs and spices to distract you, just a touch of mint on the finish and some coconut husk character - but if caraway’s not your bag, well, you’ll want to explore other spirits. Long Road Distillers Aquavit – Long Road doesn’t disclose its aquavit botanicals, but the nose offers blatant caraway notes, giving it a rye bread character from start to finish. The finish is on the earthy side, but works well enough with what’s come before to merit a cautious recommendation. Light citrus, both orange and lemon, show up on the palate later in the game, adding a much-needed layer of brightness and adding some acidity. And juniper is the primary aromatic and flavor element here, and it actually works well with that earthy, mushroomy base that is revealed in the vodka. Long Road Distillers Gin – Six botanicals are used in the making of this gin, but none save juniper are revealed. On the palate, there’s a vanilla cream and marshmallow sweetness but these can’t overpower the funky, shroominess of the experience - ultimately blurring the line between vodka and white whiskey. Long Road Distillers Vodka – Quite pungent on the nose, with notes of mushroom, bean curd, and varnish. Want to see how versatile a single grain can be? Here’s a look at five different spirits that Long Road makes from it (plus a cherry brandy made from local fruit).
