overall

Wonderland Blend of Straight Whiskeys Cask Strength is a blend of three “100 percent grained whiskeys including 100 percent Michigan rye and Michigan wheat whiskeys, combined with 100% corn bourbon whiskey, aged separately and small batch blended” at the company's Muskegon distillery. While this is the same process that the standard edition follows, the two share few other similarities. Whereas the standard edition’s palate is lacking due to a majority of the sip being thin and short, the cask strength edition thankfully corrects course for the brand. A bold spice weaves throughout and is blanched out by vanilla and other sweet notes throughout the sip. Skip the standard edition altogether and start with this cask strength edition if you’re curious about the brand, as you’ll be pleasantly surprised  by the resulting sip. You can read more in the company’s press release.
