Southshot, 40%

Price: 13 Issue: Fall 2013 Reviewer: Lew Bryson Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Hot oak and bubble gum in the nose, with a slight solvent hit of fingernail polish. Light corn in the mouth, oaky bitterness, a flash of the polish, and pretty hot for 40%. A very thin mouthfeel, not that
appealing. The nicest thing about it, though, is the finish, which is surprisingly smooth, sweet, and almost rich. You'd want to dump some cola and ice in here. Sourced whiskey.
