The challenge:
Scrap the whole tasting notes/review format and condense it down to 140 characters (and keep it at least mildly interesting).
The subject:
Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 91.2 Proof, approx. $45/bottle
The Tweet-length review, exactly 140 characters:
Bulleit 10: Orange-blossom banana cedar bark nose. Cinnamon dark wood heat a bit too sharp. Caramel red hot finish. Good stuff, but pricey.
*******************************
* Thirsty South Rating Scale:
Wow – among the very best: knock-your-socks-off, profound, complex liquid gold!
Excellent – exceptional in quality and character, worth seeking out, highly recommended
Good Stuff – solid expression of its type/varietal, enjoyable and recommended
Fair – fairly standard or exhibiting obvious though minor flaws
Avoid – move away folks, nothing to see here, a trainwreck
Sample (and photo!) was provided for this tasting.
That Bulliet review is practically poetry. You should call it and others like it a “haiku review”
Hah, yes, thank you. The haiku review and the tweet review are two vastly under-represented forms in the pantheon of whiskey chatter!
Brad, in keeping with your new format, I’ll be brief. I like this whiskey much more than you. Come by and visit soon.
You like the whiskey more than you like me!?? ; )
That’s not what I meant and you know it. lol. On the other hand, I would be receptive to getting to know you better … you bring the whiskey and wine 😉
I agree…not an improvement over the “regular” Bulleit..(love their Rye as well)
