Review: I picked up this bottle from 13th Colony while traveling in Georgia and Florida. I had heard many good things about some of their offerings but I was only able to find the Straight Bourbon and Rye’s in the areas I was in. The whiskey is approachable being a nice mix of sweet and savory but is a little pricey for a sourced offering. Overall it is worth trying out although it may be a bit much to buy a bottle. 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.
