George Dickel TABASCO Brand Barrel Finish

Off-putting is right. Not a good combo unless it's a shot.

The only saving grace here is the tobasco doesn’t linger on your pallet. The spice is gone within seconds of consuming. Very little whiskey flavor. Glad I bought nip bottle instead of a full 750ml

I’m really not that smart of a guy. I wish I was smarter. I wish I took those MCATs. I wish I thought of the next big dot com craze. But...I gotta say, I’m at least two standard deviations smarter than the guy or gal that thought of this odd couple finishing. I tried a shot of this yesterday at a local place, where it was offered next to some celery and salt. When I’m having whiskey, not sure I have the emotional bandwidth to have celery at the same time. Celery is great and whiskey is great, but together....not so sure. LIke texting while having sex. Both are great, just not recommended together. Anyway, same goes for Tabasco and whiskey. I like Tabasco on my scrambled eggs. I like Tabasco on my baked potato. I even like a bit on my pasta. But, not sure it belongs in my whiskey. Nice experiment, just not willing to pay for it. The kicker was that while I’m having this, I’m holding a $90 bottle of the new Lahroaig Cairdeas, and the guy is trying to convince me to buy this instead of the Cairdeas, despite the $55 price difference.
