Jim Beam Vanilla for some reason

I had no idea it had been so long since I last posted. I keep writing reviews and not writing up a blog. I will say that we did not continue with our subscription. Maybe that's why I stopped writing for a while. I was pretty peeved with how much it cost and how little we got. I'll stick to hand picking.

Speaking of good ideas, here's another one:

Tonight I was at the grocery store picking up stuff for tomorrow when I saw Jim Beam Vanilla. I've tried the Apple before and it....was. And I've tried a few honey flavored which are all just wretched. Maybe vanilla will be better? Probably not but it was 9.99 so here we go!

Cost: $9.99
Alcohol Content: 35%
Method: On the rocks.
Color: Tea without milk. Plain tea.
Nose: Vanilla. Lots of vanilla. But that could because it's on the rocks.
Taste: Sugar. Sweat tea. It really doesn't taste like whiskey at all. It's thick, almost like a syrup. Like if you boiled down vanilla extract.
Finish: More vanilla. Still no whiskey.
Notes: Man this is cloyingly sweet. I would say you could mix it with coke but coke is sweet too. It would just be sugar on sugar. Mix it with a regular whiskey and it might be something worth drinking.
