    Whiskey and rum tastings

    Overall Experience:

    My first tasting was the whiskey order with included a Bourgon, Rye, Scotch, all of which were excellent quality and taste! I chose to share with a close friend and fellow Marine...our tastes differ when it comes to our drink selections.

    I chose not to do a blind taste test and instead opted to taste from A-C and after tasting reviewed the flavor notes to compare with our own nuances. Neither of us are regular Scotch drinkers but were both surprised and delighted by the selection sent! The Bourbon was also great quality but nothing out of the ordinary from a quality bourbon that we frequently imbibe. Next was the Rye, this too was impressive and will surely lead to further tastings.

    I prefer to drink my whiskey "neat" and savor the experience without being influenced by any mixes, and so this was ideal for me!

    My next shipment was the rum varieties. Generally, I don't drink rum like I do whiskey (neat) and therefore made this somewhat unique. Again I chose to share with my best friend for the chance to share and compare what we experienced. We started with A and finished with C. This turned out to be a surprising event! All of the selections were outstanding and we both gravitated to the darker of the tastings. We chose to rate the Rums from 1-10 and the lowest was 7.5 (Grander) and 9.25 for the darkest (Dictador), which I'm certain will be purchased separately in the near future!

    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
