Review: I picked up this bottle in Oregon to do a fight themed whiskey blind that never came to fruition. The story behind the whiskey was a bit mysterious but this particular single barrel is delicious. It may not be worth its full price tag being as young as it likely is but for a fight fan it was worth picking up. Cheers!
My Rating: Sip it!
Ratings Scale:
-Spit: Don’t bother with this one. If a friend gives you a dram of it, are they even your friend?
-Shoot: Good enough to get you drunk
-Sip: Tasty enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks.
-Stock: I’d recommend keeping a bottle on hand.
