Tastes

I’m torn on this one. Some pours hit just right, some have a bizarre aftertaste as if you dropped the pear you were eating into your campfire ashes. This is not for everyone. Hell its not for most people. Its a little weird but it works and sometimes when I feel a little weird it hits the weird spot right where the weird weirdly is weirdest and it’s perfect. Do: Purchase a bottle and enjoy. Do Not: Expect this to be your Go To. It’s definitely worth the price and it’s definitely something one needs to try at some point while here on Earth.

Spice blast. Love the burn but this would be better in a cocktail. Since I take my spirits neat it earns a lower rating in my system. You know, the one that changes with the wind and approximately zero people care about, including me. That system. As usual though Old Forester is an exceptional bang for your buck.

Hard for me to rate after receiving the news it’s not only sourced from MGP but also flavored, whatever that means. Thw lack of transparency leaves a bitter impression, though it’s a decent rye.

Light-bodied yet full flavored. Gentle but not delicate. This is a smooth whiskey. Distinctly higher amounts of single pot still detectable but still has a decent malt backbone. Definitely worth trying.
