After I dusted the bottle, twisted the cork and splashed, nice and neat, my first glass of this never seen before brown beauty into my glass, I gave her a sniff and then thought “I just wasted approximately 250 pesos.” My first taste matched my first sniff. I stepped back and thought, this cannot be right. So I considered the fact that I had been on call for a week, which means no drinking, and took a look at the back of the bottle. The words “lightly filtered” for a “complex flavor” appear on their wine bottle Esq label. So I do, what so many consider sacrilegious, and give her a splash of bottled Texas spring water. There ya have it, the flavor goes from chewing on a Oak tree root to a very “complex” bourbon. Shortly there after I find myself 4 glasses in and smiling, thanks to this strong tasting oak juice with an almost spicy/cinnamon after taste. A little more edge to the flavor than my palate prefers, but for $24.97 a steal every time. If you can’t get enough oak aging, this is for you. Dedicated to “Marvin and Sydney”, I would have to say I would be dedicated to kicking Marvin’s ass and giving Sydney (no matter what she looks like) the ol’ Whiskey D after half a bottle of unique brown stuff. Give it a try.

The ol’ Whiskey D? Whatever..heres a tip.Try writing reviews after you sober up..k? I picked up a bottle of this juice ..which looks like wine at a store south of my home on a trip. I had not seen it anywhere but read good reviews. My first sip made it a winner at $31.00 a bottle. I has a real floral sweet nose and finishes long time. This one reminds me alot of Eagle rare another fav. Oak roots…what…this is sweet burbon..nice…go back to cool aide my friend.
Corner Creek is easy on the rye but light on the corn, too, with a blend of wheat, corn and rye that I find perfect. I have never heard anyone call it harsh or woody before. It’s full-bodied and smoothed to perfection with Kentucky limestone water. There is a charcoal taste to it, and it’s aged in wood for eight years. But that is why I find it works well in a wine bottle. It still has the caramel and fruit flavors you expect in a bourbon. It’s one of my favorites in this price point, because it is almost like an Irish whiskey and an eau de vie, very versatile and unique bourbon.
