And I thought TX was bad. At least it was drinkable. This is not bourbon. I don't know what it is. Has a fruity...rotten fruit...smell and taste. Hands down the worst whiskey I've ever tried. I'll try it as a marinade, otherwise I'm pouring ithe $#!@ out.

Rant over.

The only Texas whiskeys I have found drinkworthy was Garrison Brothers or Balcones.

Garrison should be at $59. I was eyeing it earlier and couldn't pull the trigger. I haven't seen Balcones.

Curious, read where Garrison has a strong oak flavor. Is it similar to Makers 46?

The Garrison I had was the single barrel and was pretty oaky. Not sure how it compares to Makers. I had some Balcones Blue Corn whisky. Pretty unique flavor

You can really taste those oak staves in 46. I'd personally rank it higher but the nose isn't very good. The taste is different but pretty good imo.

No such thing as Texas Bourbon.

Just repeating what's on the bottle...but judging by taste....it's most certainly not bourbon.

Washing the taste out with Knob Creek...which is quite good.

That's about how my Monday went goodluck brother

Tried Nine Banded whiskey , pretty smooth. Made in Austin

the 10 yr red Handed is pretty dang good. Nice backstory on this distillery, Alice will tell you all about it

Bourbon can be made anywhere to technically there is, that said if it's not from kentucky it's not worth drinking.

And let me say that I liken what's going on with bourbon to exactly what has gone on with craft beers. It's over the top popular so every idiot in the world wants to try and make money off it. There are just tons of undrinkable craft beers and bourbon is going the same way. Metallica should stick to music and leave bourbon to the bourbon people.

Or Tennessee.

I never could get into bourbon, now Scotch? I always have a good Scotch on hand.
