Tasted like starter fluid mixed with dumpster juice.

Yeah Ancient Age was the only alcohol I’ve ever thrown out, granted I should’ve known what I was getting when I bought a handle (1.75L) for $17

The name is a dead giveaway that it's not really aged. Probably just caramel coloring and just enough old spirit for it to have that as a claim (0 if possible)

I think I know where they took their inspiration from 😅 The brand is from 1907 and has ancient (Uralt) in its name too

fun fact: bourbon has to be aged in new charred oak barrels. since they can't be re-used to make more bourbon, distilleries export the used barrels to scotland to age scotch whisky in

And to Ireland. They are used for Irish whiskey, too.

You gotta hang them decorations everywhere I tell you, honey. Once you're finished, I'll tell you where I hid that bourbon.

its a pixel hunting and the prize is a bottle of some rotten bourbon to numb the disappointment over time wasted

Can anyone recommend a Bourbon for me to pick up from local ABC?

Evan Williams is smooth and reasonably priced. Four Roses is a bit more expensive, but really good.

That guy's got a cute butt. He looks like a female Marvel Superhero poster.
