Four Roses Blind Pig "Pigfather" Store Pick Review
Bad Wine Reviews loyalist, Jeremy Smith, was gracious enough to sling me a couple samples - this is one of them and my first Blind Pig pick review. Get ready, you fat f*#&#&($ pigs.
Blind Pig Liquor is known for their picks so I'm more giddy than Bruce Jenner realizing he could transition to a female to get out of a manslaughter charge for murdering that woman in that car crash on the highway in California. This is an OESQ recipe from warehouse M coming in at 114.8 proof and aged for 9 years 4 months. The OESQ recipe is classified as "floral, banana, refreshing, medium body." Read on to see what I copied.
In da nose I got lavender and banana. I really didn't want to get banana because it's unoriginal and what you're supposed to get but it's there clearer than Bruce Jenner's guilt when it comes to the murder of that woman on the highway in California. In da mouf I got some oak on the front followed by milk chocolate and honeysuckle. The finish came off a bit strong / harsh but that's if I'm being a nitpicky taint.
Great pick overall - while I didn't like it as much as some other Four Roses picks it was far and above most bourbon. I think this has convinced me to check out Blind Pig and see what they got a brewin' over there.
