TX Blended Whiskey

My new favorite. I was looking for an alternative to Crown, and this was recommended by a local bartender. Very smooth, subtly sweet. Good on the rocks or with Coke.

Nice, sweet whiskey with smells of vanilla and coco, and herbal notes. The taste on the palate has lots of butterscotch and citrus notes that fade away pretty quickly. Good blended whiskey on its own or in a Manhattan.

I tried this with dinner while traveling for business in Arlington TX. Wanted something local and this was all they had (passed up a MacAllan 15 for this). Intense sweet vanilla nose, almost confectionary. I knew there had to be some alcohol in there somewhere but I be darned if I could find it. Based on its nose, the taste was unsurprisingly sweet vanilla with a peppery aftertaste (ah! there's the alcohol). It had a very nice full mouth feel, kinda like a mouthful of marshmallows. Not one for an experienced sipper, this could be a great starter whiskey. Dry glass - vanilla ice cream.
