WTF!!!??? I mean...I LOVE George Dickel#12 and I thought their "finding" 23 year old barrels a few years ago was a little....well....on the gimmick side.

Now they're aging and bottling their whisky in Tabasco Barrels.

I LOVE Tabasco...
I LOVE George Dickel #12...

But aged together....I just don't know what to think.

I'll probably buy two bottles...one to drink and one for display(if it doesn't sell).

***Is this a fad caused by the snowflake/millennials..causing shortages in beer, whiskey, and bourbon??!! Also causing distillers and brewers to create crazy a** products??!!**


Cheers???

A lot of the distilleries are experimenting with different barrel finishes trying to outdo each other it seems. Some of them have yielded amazing results but this one not so much.

I have heard that it mostly taste like the Tabasco and strong on the vinegar.

I actually prefer Louisiana myself, prolly cause I ate so much Tabasco that they put in our MRE’s in the Marine Corps. One thing; you dump enough Tabasco on anything you can pretty much eat it.

After more research, it appears they don't recommend drinking it neat (imagine that) and it's meant to be used for bloody Marys.
