Red Neck Riviera 'Southern Style' Blended Whiskey, 49.3%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2005 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
" Straight from them there oak cask barrels to this here bottle," the label reads. Light, gently sweet notes of vanilla and caramel corn are the core of this whiskey. Inter-dispersed notes of mint, charred oak, and candied fruit are also present. The label also states "Sure enough smooth." True, I have had harsher whiskeys, but I’ve also had many that were smoother -and within this price range. In fact, there are several bourbon whiskeys on the market at this price that are at least this smooth and with a lot more flavor.
