I grew up in a small suburb of NYC. I remember there was this one corner store, in a prime location, that sold only stuffed animals. We’re not talking stuffed children’s toys like teddy bears. We’re talking stuffed squirrels, badgers, birds, and other small furry forest creatures. It was a taxidermist. I never saw any foot traffic. Never saw any customers. Just one shady looking owner and his weird dead forest creatures. To my 7 year self, even without knowing the capital mortgage and debt markets, I wondered how he managed to stay in business. Turned out it was a front for a mafia money laundering. That brings me to this weird offering from Tamworth. They are about as weird as one can get in the whiskey world. They have whiskey infused with some mammal’s glands, one infused with venison, another infused with a stinky flower. This seems relatively mainstream, with Thanksgiving flavors. Imagine yourself sitting in front of a Thanksgiving feast. Mix up all the items on the table, liquify it in your trusted Ninja food blender. And voila…you have the essence of this abomination. There’s no roasted turkey. There’s no chestnuts. There’s no cranberry sauce. It’s just a very young whiskey infused with a cornucopia of flavors, all melding into an inconsistent incoherent mess. So…I again start to wonder….how do these guys stay in business? It’s gotta be a front. Maybe their main business is shady like money laundering, or straight arrow like making hand sanitizers….but making weird whiskey simply can’t pay the bills. @pkingmartin @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington @ctbeck11 @Richard-ModernDrinking i sent this one over to y’all for our tasting. I suggest we pass this one, and instead choose something else. Sorry….I meant well…didn’t quite work out.
