Furthur Straight Bourbon Whisky

Bourbon — Indians, USA

Reviewed October 7, 2021 (edited October 8, 2021)
3.5
3.5 out of 5 stars
Different art on my bottle may indicate a different bottling, so YMMV, but...yeah. I *loved* "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" when I read it in high school (and, of course, the movie adaption, as well), so Ken Kesey, the Merry Pranksters, and their bus, Furthur, has long been a fascination of mine. Without knowing that, my aunt and uncle got me a bottle of this just because it was recommended to them at whichever liquor store they stopped by. I was both grateful to receive a gift, and also a little skeptical - sourced bourbon with a seeming novelty branding? You know what? It's pretty solid. Befitting a whiskey named for the ride behind "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," there is a sparkling, dazzling character to the dram - big, bright spice is the dominant feature, with light brown sugar, pecan pie, and caramel. For a 50.5% abv bottling, there's virtually no burn. It may be sourced, but it's sourced from the best - MGP knows what it's doing. I wouldn't pay out the nose for this, but if it's available for $40 or under, I'd say you're doing alright.
