Whiskey Rebellion was last night. There was some sippin' going on. A "few" quick reviews.

Downslope

  • Irish whiskey- Good Irish whiskey flavor. Smooth.


  • Cask strength- Harsh raw flavor.


Breckenridge
All around favorite collection of whiskey samples

  • Cask strength- 129 proof. Smooth with a bite.


  • Port Barrel- Hint of port and wood. Smooth.


  • Breck. Bourbon Whiskey- Smooth and almost light. Finished the evening with this one, so the taste buds already had a workout.


Whistle Pig Rye- Favorite rye of the evening. Smooth without an overpowering sweet taste.

Dancing Pines Bourbon- Sweet funk. Not worth the trip to Loveland.

Angel’s Envy Straight Bourbon Whiskey- Smokey and smooth. Second favorite bourbon of the evening.

Wood’s Tenderfoot Whiskey- Salida, CO. Heavy wood flavor. Alcohol taste on the back of the tongue.

Dickel Barrel Select.- Surprisingly good. Smooth and smoky.

Peach Street Straight Bourbon Whiskey- Palisades, CO. Tie for favorite bourbon of the evening. Cinnamon, smoke and light flavor.

Leopold- I broke a cardinal rule about never drinking flavored alcohols.

  • Apple- Bad


  • Raspberry- Vick 44D. Bad


Wyoming Whiskey Bourbon- Smooth and smoky.

Feisty Spirits

  • Rye- Heavy alcohol taste.


  • Malt- TOO sweet. Skunky.


KJ Wood Blue Corn white dog- Second best white dog of the evening. Worth a trip to Berthoud.

Hudson Baby Bourbon- Tie for favorite bourbon of the evening.

Larceny Straight Bourbon Whiskey- Good smoky bourbon. Their distillery stable also includes Evan Williams and Elijah Craig. The rep. even knew who Elijah Craig was.
