🥃 DadDimes on the Rocks — Season 6, Episode 13: Queen Jennie Sorghum Whiskey Review

On this episode of DadDimes on the Rocks, we step beyond traditional bourbon and rye to discover a whiskey that celebrates American innovation and agricultural heritage — Queen Jennie Sorghum Whiskey. Distilled entirely from grain sorghum rather than the familiar corn, rye, or wheat, this unique spirit offers whiskey lovers the opportunity to experience a flavor profile unlike anything found in a conventional pour.

From the first swirl, Queen Jennie greets the senses with delicate aromas of honey, vanilla, toasted grain, and light caramel. Gentle floral notes mingle with hints of orchard fruit and baking spice, creating an inviting bouquet that showcases the distinct character of sorghum while remaining unmistakably whiskey.

The palate is remarkably smooth and approachable. Sweet notes of honey, butterscotch, and vanilla bean are balanced by toasted grain, cinnamon, and soft oak. As the whiskey unfolds, subtle flavors of ripe pear, roasted almonds, and a touch of citrus zest emerge, offering a layered experience that continues to evolve with each sip. The sorghum grain contributes a silky mouthfeel and gentle sweetness that sets this whiskey apart from more traditional mash bills.

The finish is clean, warm, and pleasantly lingering, leaving behind notes of caramel, toasted oak, delicate spice, and a whisper of floral sweetness. It's a whiskey that rewards slow sipping and invites conversation about how different grains can completely reshape the whiskey experience.

Throughout the episode, we discuss what makes sorghum whiskey unique, how alternative grains are expanding the American whiskey landscape, and whether Queen Jennie deserves a place alongside more familiar bourbon and rye expressions. We also break down the craftsmanship, flavor profile, and who this distinctive whiskey is best suited for.

Pour yourself a glass and join DadDimes as we explore a whiskey that proves tradition and innovation can share the same bottle.
