Gawith Hoggarth - American Whiskey.
I decided to try this one after being turned on to whiskey aromatics by Holger Danske Black and Bourbon! Firstly, the unlit aroma is quite a pungent one, being a little heavy with whiskey for me! The pieces are fairly robust in their sizes and it is about 80% jet black. The first negative is that it is somewhat over the top with the moistness, so a short airing period is definitely a good prerequisite to use with this blend! I leave a bowls worth aside for only about 2 hours and after the short drying time it lights up superbly and then delivers a burn that is unequivocally even and consistent. The flavour is not as harsh with whiskey as I anticipated it to be: the whiskey is a formidable additive but it gives a more subtle flavour than a raucous one which works lovely alongside the natural sweet taste from the black Cavendish. To be fair the least discernible tobacco is the Burley, its a taste you have to search for , the Virginia is a little easier to acquaint and is of a nice quantity for me. Vitamin N? Wonderful amount: not strong, not weak. Tongue bite? Nonexistent (but we all vary with that). The room note is mainly a Cavendish one with a very detectable whiskey side to it but it is also quite full so I presume it would be a touch offensive for non-smokers in the vicinity!
I give this two stars for the subjective reason that I feel the flavour becomes tedious after a while.
Somewhat recommended.

Bought a bag of this for my girlfriend's dad whose into all liqueur based tobacco. While not a huge drinker personally, here is what I thought... The bag gives off a nice boozy plume that you can taste in the back of your throat, not unlike a snifter of actual Whiskey. The sweet tangy huck it gave off could easily be mistaken for a Cherry Aromatic, so get ready for flavor country. So will smoking it mark the end of prohibition and get me on the wagon?
The Cavendish forward cut was nice and beefy, about a step below a broken flake, had some sticks here and there, and a hint sticky. Honestly, it felt great and packed how I like em' to. Once lit, any thoughts of Cherry went up in smoke, leaving what I imagine a drink might taste like when an alchemist turns liquid to vapor. While GH&C's American Whiskey certainly performed at higher level than other cheaper brand Whiskey tobacco I've had, and even allowed the natural leaf taste to come across, it was not the kind of Aromatic I enjoy. Falling into a rough, yet not deep, smoking experience.
It did burn nicely all the way to the bottom without bite and had a somewhat heady effect, so maybe the topping did get into my liver and inhibit and the blend found a way to inhibit my driving after all.
