{"product_id":"von-payne-750ml","title":"Von Payne 750mL","description":"Von Payne Black is a 90-proof blended whiskey infused with black currant, award-winning for its bold flavor, smooth finish, and striking gargoyle decanter. Tasting Notes: Color\/Appearance: Rich amber \/ deep ruby hue; darker tones suggesting fruit infusion and possibly a slight reddish tint from the black currant. Aroma (Nose): Notes of dark\/red berries (especially red currant), some caramel or toffee, a hint of sweetness. Also “toasted white bread” in some reviews. Palate (Taste): Balanced interplay between fruitiness (berries, black currant), sweetness (honey, caramel, possibly toffee), smooth warmth from the whiskey base. A texture that is silky or creamy in some assessments. Slight tartness \/ pleasant tart edge from the currant. Finish: Lingering flavor of fruit + sweetness, smooth mouthfeel. The sugar \/ currant flavors tend to stay with you. Some reviewers note the finish is more on the juicy, sweet side with perhaps a residual berry-aftertaste. Awards \u0026amp; Recognitions: Von Payne Black has racked up several distinctions which show how well-regarded it is in the spirits world. \u003cul\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"111\" data-end=\"216\"\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"113\" data-end=\"216\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"113\" data-end=\"161\"\u003eSan Francisco World Spirits Competition 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e – Double Gold Medal, 96 Points, Best Infused Whiskey\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"217\" data-end=\"273\"\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"219\" data-end=\"273\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"219\" data-end=\"247\"\u003eUSA Spirits Ratings 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e – Gold Medal, 91 Points\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"274\" data-end=\"337\"\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"337\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"276\" data-end=\"309\"\u003eBartender Spirits Awards 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e – Silver Medal, 82 Points\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"338\" data-end=\"441\"\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"340\" data-end=\"441\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"340\" data-end=\"381\"\u003eTop Women in the Industry Awards 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e – Best of the Best, Best Bourbon (Infused), Best of Class\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e What Sets It Apart: \u003cul data-start=\"2696\" data-end=\"3385\"\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"2696\" data-end=\"2878\"\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"2698\" data-end=\"2878\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2698\" data-end=\"2729\"\u003eInfusion with Black Currant\u003c\/strong\u003e: The natural black currant gives it a flavor profile that’s less common in mainstream blended whiskey — the fruit stands out without overwhelming.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"2879\" data-end=\"3035\"\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"2881\" data-end=\"3035\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2881\" data-end=\"2897\"\u003eGood Balance\u003c\/strong\u003e: It strikes a balance between sweetness, fruitiness, and whiskey warmth; not just a flavored liquor, but a flavored whiskey with depth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"3036\" data-end=\"3205\"\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"3038\" data-end=\"3205\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3038\" data-end=\"3067\"\u003eStrong Finish and Texture\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reviewers often mention a smooth, creamy mouthfeel, which makes it drinkable neat or on the rocks, yet still interesting in cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-start=\"3206\" data-end=\"3385\"\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"3208\" data-end=\"3385\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3208\" data-end=\"3224\"\u003ePresentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: The bottle is noted for its visual appeal (gargoyle pour spout, heavy glass decanter style) which helps it stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Von","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62397259186547,"sku":"112785","price":104.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/4241\/6499\/files\/von-payne_1.webp?v=1766567542","url":"https:\/\/limeliquor.ca\/products\/von-payne-750ml","provider":"Lime Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
