Mystic Mountain Outlaw Premium Whiskey
Blended American Whiskey — Colorado, USA

October 22, 2018 (edited December 3, 2018)
Appearance: The color is darker than I’d expect as a tawny leather. The legs are extra thin, nearly nonexistent, and watery dribbling their way back into the rest of the whiskey at the bottom of the glass.
Nose: The overall nose is very dessert-like. Notes of cinnamon, brown sugar, caramel, chocolate fudge, and dark cherry draw you in with a note of polyurethane varnish to balance out the sweet with some rough girth.
Taste: The nose is a bit misleading as the palate doesn’t offer nearly as much as was being built up. However, the palate that’s there has notes of cream soda, orange, peach, and snickerdoodle cookies. There’s also a bitter taste I can’t quite put my finger on.
Finish: The finish takes off from that strange bitter note in the taste and fades into the short-medium length finish with a citrusy and root beer tang.
Thoughts: Overall, I like this whiskey. It has its moments where it’s tough and “spikey” and makes you feel like it’s putting hair on your chest. But other times it’s friendly and not challenging. It felt like the kind of something an outlaw might drink back in the old west. I may not buy it again, but I would happily drink it if offered to me! This would be a good going-camping-with-friends whiskey. Mystic Mountain, thanks for what you’re doing! Cheers!

Hahahaha!
I don’t know what to do with my hands . . .
@The_Rev you made that grace your bitch
@LeeEvolved I like to think of Jesus with like giant eagles wings and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an Angel Band, and 'm in the front row, and 'm hammered drunk...I may or may not use the dinner scene when I'm teaching my Confirmation students about theology and different ways of imagining Christ.
@LeeEvolved SHAKE AND BAKE!
Just speaking the name of this whiskey out loud reminds me of the scene in Talladega Nights when Ricky Bobby is saying grace at the dinner table... “Also due to a binding endorsement contract that stipulates I mention PowerAde at each grace, I just wanna say that PowerAde is delicious and it cools you off on a hot summer day and we look forward to PowerAde’s release of mystic mountain blueberry. Thank you, for all your power and your grace. Dear Lord Baby Jesus, we also like to thank you for my wife’s father Chip, we hope that you can use your baby Jesus powers to heal him and his horrible leg. It smells terrible and the dogs are always bothering with it.” Man, @Generously_Paul and I watch too many stupid movies. Great review, btw. Cheers.
