FT35 Pecan Whiskey 750ML

FT35 Pecan Whiskey 750ML is a small-batch Georgia whiskey aged four years and finished with real pecans, bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof) in a 750ml format. What separates this expression from the crowded flavored whiskey field is its use of authentic Georgia pecans rather than artificial flavoring, resulting in a genuinely nutty, oak-driven character that reads more like a finished whiskey than a flavored spirit.

Quick Facts: ABV: 35% (70 Proof)  |  Origin: Northern Georgia, USA  |  4 Years Aged  |  Distillery: FT35 (Small-Batch Micro Distillery)

Production & Heritage

FT35 operates as a small-batch micro distillery in Northern Georgia, a region with a growing reputation for craft spirits production. The whiskey is aged for four years in American oak barrels, building a foundation of vanilla and caramel before being finished with real Georgia pecans — a step that infuses natural roasted nut character into the spirit. Every bottle is hand-bottled at the distillery, and the lower 70-proof bottling strength allows the pecan finish to express itself without excessive alcohol heat.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Toasted pecans arrive immediately, followed by waves of caramel and vanilla. A soft oak undertone grounds the sweetness with a light woody spice.

Taste: The entry is smooth and sweet, with roasted nut character taking the lead. Mid-palate, buttery undertones develop alongside warm baking spice, while the American oak aging contributes a gentle caramel sweetness that keeps the pecan from becoming one-dimensional. The balance between nut richness and classic whiskey warmth holds throughout.

Finish: Long and warming, with a lingering sweetness anchored by toasted pecan. The nuttiness fades slowly, leaving soft vanilla and a whisper of oak tannin on the close.

How to Drink FT35 Pecan Whiskey

Neat or over a single large ice cube is the simplest way to appreciate the pecan finish — a slight chill opens up the buttery sweetness without dulling the oak structure. The 70-proof bottling also makes it versatile in cocktails:

• Pecan Old Fashioned — the natural nut character replaces the need for orgeat or nut liqueurs, pairing beautifully with a dash of aromatic bitters and an orange peel.
• Whiskey Sour — the sweet, roasted profile rounds out citrus and simple syrup, creating a dessert-leaning variation without added sugar bombs.
• Brown Butter Manhattan — swapped in for standard bourbon, the pecan notes complement sweet vermouth and add a toasted depth that feels autumnal and rich.

Best For

• After-dinner sipping alongside pecan pie or pralines during the fall and winter months
• Gifting to someone who enjoys flavored whiskey but wants a more authentic, craft-driven option
• Building a Southern-themed cocktail menu for gatherings or holidays
• Introducing non-whiskey drinkers to the category through a smooth, approachable entry point

Why FT35 Pecan Whiskey?

The flavored whiskey category is dominated by products that lean heavily on artificial flavoring agents and minimal aging. FT35 takes a different path — four years in American oak barrels build genuine whiskey character before real Georgia pecans are introduced to finish the spirit. That distinction matters on the palate: the nut flavor reads as integrated rather than applied, and the oak, caramel, and vanilla notes underneath come from actual barrel time, not additives. For drinkers who want pecan flavor without sacrificing whiskey credibility, FT35 fills a gap that very few competitors address.
