Blind
So we did a blind taste test this weekend: Four whiskeys, no clue. Ballantine, Knob Creek, Buffalo Trace and Maker’s Mark. Ballantine, a true Scotch, failed quickly. Harsh, with no depth, it had no chance against the three bourbon whiskeys. Surprisingly, Maker’s Mark, which I figured would be the champ, was also a wash. While slightly different, we haven’t decided which we like better of Buffalo Trace and Knob Creek. (with many apologies to my 1996 GMC Sierra…) We may not be able to make a reliable automobile, but America can craft a decent Whiskey.
