emelbeI have a bit of a backlog between these from back in SF and a rather thorough tasting in New York. They'll be going up on tumblr through the queue but I'll just batch them here. First: a two-fer from before I left for New York, one good, one not good.
Angel's Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
One would think this would be a slam dunk for me. I'm predisposed to bourbons. It hits all the notes I look for. Hell, it's even finished in port wine barrels. But no. The elements are somehow out of balance. It has a floral taste making it very perfumey and way down deep in the aftertaste are bananas. Just not a good combination.
Bank Note Blended Scotch Whisky
Oh now that's good. Very soft, not bitter at all, some vanilla, and only the tiniest bit of smoke. Fantastic with a peach crisp smothered in whipped cream.
