![]() Even Lisa and mom can drink it (but as of tonight, Lisa prefers the Jim Beam since it’s sweeter – see below).Ĭabin Fever has a great maple/whiskey color unlike either the Jim Beam (light tan) or the Crown (medium brown)… it’s just wonderful all around. Though I prefer it on ice, I could also drink it neat. It does give you a nice warm feeling throughout. It doesn’t burn either on the way down or once it settles in your stomach (the crown burned for so long…). The maple is definitely present but not overpowering. I couldn’t do that if it was really sweet. I can drink more than one glass in a sitting. ![]() Cabin Fever isn’t as sweet as maple syrup (my brother says it is, but he also just prefers straight whiskey without any flavor at all), but still tastes like it. I finally was able to convince one store to try stocking it. I was so sad, but it renewed my motivation to get my hands on Cabin Fever. Think a mix of cleaning chemicals out of the cabinet combined with pesticides and you might be on the right track for what crown’s version of “maple” resembles… I gave the rest to my mom, who mixed with a bunch of other stuff to be able to cover the nastiness. I can’t even begin to describe what it tastes like other than having a heavily “chemical” taste (I was going to say “after taste” but it’s really like that from first sniff). It wasn’t sweet, but it also certainly wasn’t maple flavor. The chemical taste overpowered even the alcohol flavor. Unfortunately, I about spilled the remainder of my glasses as I spit out what was in my mouth. I took it home excited to try something that could quell my thirst for Cabin Fever. They only had one size, so I reluctantly shelled out $32 for it. I caved and tried Crown’s new maple flavored whiskey. No one wanted to order it without me committing to buy an entire case (now, I love the stuff, but a case would last me a year and cost way too much). ![]() I visited a number of stores with no luck. Then we moved and something horrible happened: it was so new with so limited marketing, no one here carried it. I first tried Cabin Fever up north on a whim (ginormous package store, fresh paycheck, liked the thought of maple in my alcohol). ![]()
