Do you use real whisky or just a whisky flavor?

Do you use real whisky or just a whisky flavor?

  • Only real HIGHWOOD Distillers rye whisky is used in every AWC cake.
  • Added at 2 separate times: into the raw batter and then again in the whisky sauce that the cakes are soaked in when they come out of the oven.
  • Whisky is listed on the bottom label of every package, in the ingredient list.
  • Only real whisky, with actual alcohol content still active, would provide the preserving factor for the cakes (that is, long shelf-life) and keep them very moist.
  • After baking & storage, about 1% by weight whisky remains in the unopened cakes.
