I decided not to grab one of those Crown Royal bottles that has the bag. I mean, I'm not a crackhead, so I don't need something to carry my pipe and... whatever else is carried in a crack addict's Crown Royal bag. Probably a lighter. Maybe a spoon? Or is that meth? Or heroine? Look, I'm a beer guy, and I just don't know the lifestyle of the chronically indigent.
Looks like whiskey. Smells like whiskey. There are so many of these beverages that I cannot really describe more than that. I'm just not good at picking out the clove, banana, peach, or whatever else the experts say is in a whiskey. I remember hearing Penn Jillette say that he thinks that people that claim to pick "notes" out of beverages (beyond two) are just lying about what they taste. As someone who can pick apart a beer, I can attest to his speaking from ignorance. The fact that I can't smell any more than whiskey out of this is also ignorance.
Bottom Line: Maybe I'm really not a whiskey guy
First sip is strong alcohol. Underneath, there is complexity that I am ill equipped to convey, but I'll try. Licorice, grains, and maybe some honey (but probably not) are trying to peek through the prodigious alcohol. There isn't a lot more to say, other than that I have had better alcoholic drinks before. I've had better whiskeys before. This one is unrestrained and not really worthy of the fancy bag that it has become famous for and that drugs user keep their stash in.
