Is this real life??
A couple of years ago I toured the Old Pogue Distillery in Maysville, KY. I went to their website and read a review of one of their rye whiskies:
A review of Limestone Landing conducted by the Beverage Tasting Institute: Clear. Aromas and flavors of creamy pistachio nougat, raisin scone, and grain husk with a round, penetrating dryish medium-to-full body a warming, white pepper, fig rye toast, chalk dust, and pear eau-de-vie-like finish. Interesting flavor and dimension; opens nicely with water, and a creative cocktail choice. Rating: 89 Points - Silver Meda - January 24, 2013.
CHALK DUST!!!? Is there anyone here who happens to like chalk dust?
Nope. Just fantasy.Is this real life??
Woodford Reserve is the nectar of the Gods. [emoji106]I'm not meaning to bash anyone's taste in bourbon, BUT..... I picked up a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch this weekend just to try something different. It's good, but IMO it isn't anywhere near Woodford good. The Four Roses has a sweet and spicy flavor that lacks real depth. It's smooth, and has a pleasant heat to it, but that's about as much as can be said about it. It makes a good bourbon and Coke.
I tried the Four Roses Small Batch and thought it was pretty good - for bourbon. Guess I'll have to try the Woodford Reserve...
Myself I like smooth, sweet with a little spice. My wife buys her father the Woodford, that's his fave. I'm gonna sneak into it Easter Sunday and try it. Sounds good.
