Uncle Charlie's French Toast Whiskey

Brunch vibes, poured straight from a bottle. Uncle Charlie’s French Toast Whiskey lands at 35% ABV (70 proof) in a 750ml, produced and bottled in Philadelphia by Midnight Madness Distilling. It starts as corn whiskey aged in previously used bourbon barrels, then takes on natural flavors—maple, cinnamon, and supporting notes—for a buttery, not-too-sweet profile that drinks smooth and playful.

Nose: Warm maple syrup and toasted brioche lead, with cinnamon sugar, vanilla, and a whisper of brown butter rounding the edges in a mellow, inviting swirl.

Palate: Silky and layered; maple sweetness meets pastry-like richness, then a ribbon of baking spice adds lift while the base whiskey keeps everything grounded and balanced.

Finish: Light, gently spiced, and clean; soft maple echoes fade with a buttery glow and the faintest toastiness from the barrel.

Lean into the brunch energy. Try crispy chicken and waffles with hot honey; the whiskey’s maple-spice sweetness softens heat while the fried crunch adds contrast and texture. Pair with thick-cut maple bacon or a cheddar-chive biscuit sandwich; both amplify the buttery notes without tipping the balance. Dessert sings: apple crumble, pecan pie, or vanilla-bean ice cream affogato-style over a small pour—simple, nostalgic, and quietly indulgent.
