Hear me out on this one. I bought this as a joke just to see what one of the lowest rated whiskies was like. It’s one of these things I walk by every time I go to the store and I think, “I should try this just because it’s so bizarre.” The nose is bonkers. I get buttercream, caramel, a little oak, and the Tabasco finish. The finish itself isn’t a pungent as you’d expect, and on the palate the whiskey tastes mostly like regular Dickel, which is a pleasant taste. The Tabasco shows up on the finish, tickling the back of your throat just a bit. Not all together horrible. For $15 I don’t feel bad about this purchase. It could be a versatile spirit too. I can see myself cooking with this, or maybe making a new, weird Bloody Mary. Try this one for yourself, and if you hate it, you can regift it. Cheers!
