Thank you to… damn, didn’t write it down. Sorry about that. Some guy gave me this. He didn’t want anything back. Said it was bad.

I’ve said, multiple times, that if someone releases something and calls it a whiskey, I’ll review it. Recently I’ve had quite a few whiskies from different distilleries that most people have commented on as “rough” and “holy damn that wasn’t great”.

A lot of people (read: like 3, including my parents and wife) who read my stuff on a regular basis will also note that I haven’t given them as low of scores as others. I note this. I wonder if I’m being nicer because the distilleries are smaller.

But then I drink something like Jim Beam Red Stag Hardcore Cider and realize that I’m not playing favourites. There are worse things out there.

This is Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon that has apple cider…
