Motörhead Ace of Spades Straight Bourbon

Started very hot. Had a lingering throat burn for about 15 seconds after just a little time with some ice. Needed a good 15 minutes on ice to cool off. At that point, had little flavor. Really just a bad whiskey in my opinion.

It's faaking Motorhead, like the band, it's not complex but definitely gets the job done with attitude. You really can't expect much from a young novelty whiskey, will revisit in a week to see if it opens up. If you want a good heavy metal whiskey, pick up the Slipknot limited edition Iowa.

Wood and spice on the nose, but neither very strong. The palate is simple yet solid. It starts out like you're going to get an alcohol punch but it never materializes. Spice and light oak that fades to a gentle finish. A good sipping bourbon to keep around of you don't want to be distracted by it.
