Ron Burgundy “Great Odin's Raven” Special Reserve, 40%

Price: 25 Issue: Summer 2014 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

What does this say about how far whisky has come? We live in an era where you can now buy the official whisky from a major motion picture. This has a deep amber color. Really deep. The nose brings warm muffins, caramel, and grassy notes with a good dose of smoke. It's a sweet concoction with a peppery kick. There's a tinge of polypropylene before a short, clipped, spicy finish. It just needs to find more of its own identity.
