Created especially for new whiskey drinkers, Kansas Spirit Whiskey is a smooth, subtle spirit produced from amber winter wheat. Vodka drinkers will enjoy the additional flavor that Kansas Clean Distilled Spirit Whiskey delivers. Kansas is distilled with a column still, rather than a pot still, which allows for the extraction of a pure, clean tasting distillate. This spirit is then married with a small amount of artisanal whiskey to add more depth and complexity. Clean and light with a soft, crisp finish, Kansas makes an interesting base for a surprising number of cocktails, but can also be enjoyed neat or on the rocks. Two of those delicious cocktails are featured below:
Kansas Cooler (Signature Kansas cocktail)
Build in a highball glass filled with ice:
1 1/2 oz. Kansas Spirit Whiskey
Gingerale
Squeeze of lime or lemon
(Optional dash of Angostura Bitters)
The Slinky Skirt
1 1/2 oz. Kansas
1/2 oz. Chambord
1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup
(optional topper of Champagne or sparkling wine – called a Kansas Royale)
Directions: Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon wheel

I only have a drink a few times a year, but when I do have a drink, I want a good one. This brand of whiskey looks very upscale, and I'd love to try it.
I've never heard of this brand, but would love to try it
Thanks for the great contest

MY FRIEND WOULD ENJOY THIS AS A GIFT.
Hmmmm. Interesting. I love whisky, whiskey, scotch, burboun, etc. I also love "made in the USA" stuff. I'm always open to trying new spirits too. I wasn't aware that this kind of thing was even legal though… I'm willing to toss my hat in the ring though I suppose. I should win because… well… my alias is about 15 years old if that tells you anything… also, my favorite punctuation mark is the …
I love whiskey.
I just turned 21 a few months ago and haven't had a chance to try whiskey yet!
