This is a rough spirit to drink. It says it is a white whiskey (unaged) and yes it is. Now I have very little experience with unaged whiskey but I do like gins, vodkas, and white rum so I took a chance with this. First, on the nose, it is sweet corn and ethanol. There is almost no middle body and the finish is also sweet with a touch of bitterness at the very end. While I did not like it at first it did grow on me over the weeks that I tried it. I have made whiskey and cokes out of it and it is just fine for that I just do not see me getting a new bottle when this one is gone. Sorry Popcorn I am not a fan of this.

Thanks Danner I will look for it.
For unaged white whiskey, on your next pass through NC, look for Drumlish unaged Poteen by Great Wagon Road Distilling. Mashbill of Barley and Wheat, has a nice sweetness to it, no ethanol and works great on its own or sub for Silver Tequila, Rum, Vodka, etc for a twist on classic cocktails.
Hey Fox. I recently went to a small distillery on a business trip called Old Glory and they do Moonshine, vodka, and gin. This year they began bottling their bourbon after aging it 4 years. I will post a review of their vodka, gin and bourbon soon. I was not able to get a bottle of the shine onto the plane.
I wish there were more white whiskey available to try. Maybe it's just not good, but I've become a fan of blanco tequila and rhum agricole is growing on me. Of course, there's still bad unaged products in all categories, which it sounds like this may be :(
It's ironic that Poppy's name would become associated with a legal, retail product. Even more ironic that the originally independent distillery that makes it is now owned by Sazerac. I don't think the old boy would have been happy about that 🙁
