The producer of the Joker whiskey drink is positioning it as a more popular alternative to expensive and status alcohol. Moreover, according to reviews, such a comparison is at least extremely hasty. On the other hand, the drink has its admirers who consider the products of the Joker brand to be more than impressive for the required price. The article will tell you about the features of the "Joker" drink, the recipe, as well as the manufacturer in order to determine what position alcohol at this level should occupy on the market.
A few words about the manufacturer
The product is supplied to the market by the United Penza Vodka factories, which has a beneficial effect on the value of the goods. On the other hand, the Joker whiskey drink, at least according to public expectations, should be produced using the same technology as its "elder brother" - scotch tape or bourbon. However, in cooking, only a small part of the distillate is used, which is rather difficult to identify. In any case, the products of the plant under the Joker brand are supplied in large quantities and not in a single variation:
- Low alcohol cocktails. In this case, we are talking about a drink with essences and emulsions, such as bitter or fruit. Available tastes are "brandy almonds" and "bitter lemon."
- Grape Brandy. The manufacturer claims that the grape distillate for the drink was aged for at least six months.
- Joker whiskey drink.
The latter is supplied to the market in 0.5 liter glass. The claimed strength of the drink is 40 degrees, the label is black, with the brand. Products are allegedly supplied exclusively within the Russian Federation.
Taste palette and external data
The first thing that catches your eye is a darkish shade of liquid that, under a certain light, appears brown. As you know, a good Scottish scotch tape has a pale yellow, straw shade with overflows. The aroma of the drink is bright, intense. In addition to the smell of ethyl and sweetish impurities, one can notice the emphasis on real whiskey, quite possibly from distillate. The Joker alcoholic taste is more like a tincture or a very strong bitter, since it is based on wheat vodka. By the way, about the composition. It is represented by the following list: ethyl alcohol from Lux raw materials, corrected vodka, Scottish distillate, natural dye in the form of sugar color.
After the first test, it seems that the Joker is an extremely accessible parody of expensive alcohol. If the buyer was previously familiar with single malt whiskey, then it will hardly be possible to carry it out with such a drink. On the other hand, for its value, which is on average 295 rubles, the tincture is quite tolerable, despite the fact that its composition is genuine and there are no additional chemicals in it.
Product Reviews
Those reviews that can be described as positive are mainly focused on the availability of brand alcohol and relatively good taste for the money mentioned. In addition, it is noted that the drink is fairly easy to drink, it does not have a hangover, but comparing it with whiskey is at least ridiculous.
