Tin Cup Bourbon

Tonight Aaron and I made ribeye stuffed with sauteed herbs and breadcrumbs in a butter whiskey sauce. I saw this odd shaped bourbon when I was buying the ingredients so I bought it too.

The bottle is pretty cute. The cap doubles as kind of a cheep-o shot glass. Or maybe I'm just using it wrong. The bottle is hexagonal probably for some reason beyond aesthetic. But the shape is why I bought it.

Alcohol Content: 42%
Price: $21 at Winco
Method: Neat
Nose: Fruity. A tiny bit of banana.
Color: Looking in the tin cap it looks orange. Like old Fanta.
Taste: Very smooth. A hint of burn but not bad. Sweet. This is a very dangerous bourbon.
Finish: That nice sting from a good bourbon. Fruity finish which I haven't really found in many whiskeys.
Notes: I like this quite a bit. I've seen online that the price can be much higher. I would pay 30 for this but not much more because I'm cheap. But so long as the price sticks this will probably be my new go-to.
Score: 95/100
