    I used to enjoy this regularly when it was on the shelf 7-8 years ago and at 70ish (if I remember), and I was sad when it was gone. Kind of like Unforgiven…but not at 125$…. Sigh

    An ice cream place near me has black licorice and it's great. The color can be off-putting for some but it is the flavor I always choose.

    I enjoy sauteed mushrooms but cannot stand black licorice. I had a bit too much ouzo in my early twenties, so that's a no-go.

    If you saw a jackelope in San Antonio, it must have been in the Buckhorn Saloon. Or the Hall of Horns back in the day…

    I do prefer whiskies with strong identifying notes. I recently tried a straight bourbon single barrel that straight up tasted like blueberry. Love your videos! Cheers!

    Thanks for the honesty Fred! People have gone crazy for this bottle, sounds like a rarity rather than quality chase.

    Liberty Pole announced a Full Proof Traditional Monongahela Rye today. Can't wait to get it.

    Black Licorice: it's weird bc I don't particularly care for it, but I like the flavoring of it in things such as Jager and Sambuca...

    Haven’t tried that bourye but the Redwood version (Lost Monarch I think) definitely gives off French vanilla, like vanilla wafers.

    A little off topic but I thought you may know...have you heard of Cumberland Cask Distillers? I found one of their experimental Cacao Nib single barrels today and have been trying to find some more info on them. Thanks for any info

    I generally don't like anise,..but once in a while it adds a unique flavor as long as it really faint 🤷‍♂️

    I’m looking for a nice bourbon with good banana flavors, suggestions? Woodford Reserve is nice but looking for something more complex and richer.

    Hey Fred, love the vids! I have to ask, and I know you probably get asked all the time, but I can not seem to find the answer. What is the story behind the ascot?

    Single Cask Nation did their own version. 75% bourbon, 25% rye, all MGP. It would have been better to have kept them apart, IMHO 🙁

    Black licorice posse!
    Edit: Picked up a bottle of this a couple years ago. My least favorite High West product to date. Just didn't impress me. Definitely not worth the price.

    I've got a bottle of this open, paid $62. I think it would be a lot better between 100-110 proof. Will not buy again at $125!
