Bird Dog Kentucky Blended Whiskey

Theo whiskey!

It’s whiskey blended with neutral spirits. On the bright side, it tastes like young whiskey with minimal character and a little burn. It’s nothing remarkable but you can do better for $15 — moonshine, Rebel Yell or Evan Williams are better. Would I buy again? Probably not.

Sweet.

Nice evening glass. Sweet with a hint of maple. Quite enjoyable and even better since it was a gift from Ranger Durkan.

Appearance: This blended whiskey is a light caramel color. It also has extremely watery legs. Nose: There’s not a big bouquet in this whiskey at all. But from the notes I detected, I got buttered toast, gasoline fumes, caramel, sweet corn, brown sugar, and oak. Taste: The palate is pleasant but not complicated. There are notes of sour green apple, peach, honey and caramel; it’s almost desert-like. Finish: The short finish leaves a dry ashy yet honeyed aftertaste. It sort of reminds me of the end of a cheap sweet cigar. Thoughts: This American blend I will say is not bad at all; it’s not going to be the talk of the town or anything, but it’s not bad. If you’re wanting a background whiskey that isn’t expensive to have with friends, this will do. It may pair well, with the sweeter palate as well as the ashy aftertaste, with smoking a pipe or cigar on a nippy night. Thanks, Bird Dog! Cheers!
