While I grew up in Texas, my family has antebellum roots in Alabama, so I had to give the "Alabama style" whiskey a whirl...and I'm glad I did! In some ways, I'm reminded almost more of scotch than bourbon by the nose - apples, baking spice, vanilla, caramel...this wouldn't be out of place in Speyside. The palate reminds you which side of the Atlantic this whiskey was produced on, but only so much - while there's plenty of good, bourbony caramel corn and vanilla, with a little bit of rye spice, a smooth, creamy apple-cinnamon quality comes through, as well. It's unique, priced well, and worth trying if you get the chance; I'll happily drink this neat, but I can also see lots of cocktail potential here, too.
