Bourbon
Purchase Price: $20
Place of Purchase: Warehouse- New York, NY
Rating: 8.0
This bourbon has a very low profile but the label has a distinctive "charred" edge that puts me in mind of that monumental June evening in 1985 when a bunch of teenage roustabouts I called friends backed up a station wagon to the remains of a local restaurant that had burned down and proceeded to load this innocuous suburban vehicle with about 100 slightly smoke-damaged bottles of various liquors. I’m not sure what it says about our drinking habits back then, but this treasure trove of purloined booze managed to last all of four months. Kentucky Vintage is a decent if somewhat undistinguished small batch bourbon. But at least you won’t get your hands sullied with black soot when you pick it up to pour it!
