[12.16.22] Free trial in Madison on the walk back from the capitol. Sweet downtown liquor store with a nice scotch collection upstairs. My apologies to the women running the tasting as I'm sure I came off a bit brash. You'd think a guy like MacGregor would know better than any not to sell something that tastes like Jameson for 10% more money. Not remotely surprised to learn this is a Guinness collaboration nor that they are generously donating a few $ per case (not per bottle) to a charity. Better than Jameson Black label but still just a simple Irish whiskey. Drinks easy, like water. Barely some barrel flavors or a vanilla or floral hint. But basically this is alcoholic spring water at the same price as Russell's Reserve. Choose wisely. And donate the spare change to your local food bank.
