...A honeyed nose ripe with juicy pear melds with earthiness and a caramel corn finish, backed by a green aroma that reminds of shucking the silk off fresh corn. 95 proof, $59.99...

What pretentious lurid prose! Sounds like ditch water a week after the county fair closed...or a pig trough. Whiskey is not supposed to taste like a third grade party punch bowl spiked with Everclear with earthiness supplied by the fat boy adding a cup of dirt.

That said, Knappogue Castle 14 year old single malt Irish whiskey, 92 proof is a very fine, very smooth sipping whiskey at about the same price if you can find it. My first taste was from a gift direct from the Old Sod. The 12 year old has just a tad more bite.

There's this guy on YouTube calling himself ADHD Whisky who is pretty funny. For one whisky that was sweet with a real oaky taste he claimed it reminded him of an old wooden rollercoaster. Yeah, it was like eating cotton candy while riding on one of those old wooden rollercoasters.

He's basically messing with the whisky snobs.

LOL I am surprised they don’t do it for fruit drinks.. “a marvelous mango with hints of bourbon, tobacco and bacon”...
