Kindred spirits!

Can't believe I am admitting this but it's not half bad for $12 a box. Very strong caramel note right at the beginning, then kind of a rye finish. I'd bring it to a party.

Yea I mean it's definitely not my preferred whiskey by any stretch. But if I was going to party or a BBQ i'd grab a box. It's really not bad at all, and I wouldn't cry if saw someone add coke to it. It's worth getting if on sale to try, but get ready for a very caramel forward note, and then a weird rye finish.

The question becomes at a similar price point to other "bottom shelf" handles to the tune of Beam White, Evan Williams, Old Crow, Benchmark, etc. would you pick it up over them to bring to a party as a bourbon & coke drink?

I would because you essentially get two bottles in a box.

Evan Williams bottled in bond

Picked this up at Costco on Tuesday and tried it last night. @NurseDave needs to try this if he can get it!


Made like a Scotch right here in Tucson, and that mesquite smoke is nice. It was kinda reminds me of TOF.

I take my lunchtime walk to Costco 2-3 times a week to see what's new on the shelf in that area. I'll pick it up if it hits our stores.

Thought process
- That sounds Scottish
- Make a joke about Scottish wine
- Make a joke about wine finished in Scotch casks
- Wine finished in used casks? Does anyone do that?
- Red wine with a scotch note??
- That sounds awesome
- I am a genius!!!!
