Tastes

Decent pour, but has a significant spice component which was a little surprising and too overpowering for me. Not worth a bottle purchase in my opinion.

Sweet and smooth with a slight kick at the end, but I really like this one. Rumor is that it is sourced from George Dickel, which makes sense. This may become part of the regular rotation for me.

This is clearly a top shelf option, but the taste is deeply hidden in the heat for me on this one. I wouldn’t buy again, but if you like heat, spice and a high proof then this is for you.

Tried this on a whim, and it was fairly decent. A little hotter than I expected for the proof, but probably worth another buy at some point

Worth trying just for fun, but this tastes young with a significant burn. If you are at the Chattanooga Choo Choo where this originates, you are probably better off walking across the street to Chattanooga Whiskey.

Bought this because it was extremely cheap, and had decent reviews. It actually is sweet, but also quite harsh. It is worth spending $2 more for Early Times if you want the same sweetness with a much smoother finish.

I don’t hate this one. It is surprising smooth, although you can tell it is young. The somewhat harsh finish, but this has become my regular (cheap!) mixer.

I love bourbon and live in Chattanooga, so I had to try it. After the first taste after opening the bottle , I was not a big fan. However, I tried it the next next after letting it sit out, it was much improved. Definitely worth buying if you haven’t had it. The bottle is pretty fun as well.

Actually not too bad. I prefer something a little sweeter, but for $10 nobody can be picky. I probably would choose something next time though. Still not the worse thing on the shelf.
