Potent Potables (aka What’s your poison?)

I too have grown weary of "mild" bourbons. I now gravitate toward Bottle-in-Bond (100proof) or higher. Just seems more flavorful to me, although some 95-ish-proofs I have found pretty tasty. Describing "sweet" for bourbons is kind of an oxymoron....it doesn't really mean sugary-sweet. Maybe Killerford can comment...what I am referring to is hard for me (a novice) to describe. He's a full-blown booze expert/professional.

Sweet comes partially from the barrel aging. The charring of the oak barrel can give off a lot of carmel notes in whiskey. Certain char types can accentuate that carmel in the long aging process. It can also be overdone and be an over riding flavor
 
Today marks 32 yrs since Operation Gothic Serpent. Aka.. Blackhawk Down

A toast to all those who served and who lost their lives this day, 32 yrs ago.
This whiskey was made for them.. the 19 stars on the label represent the 19 fallen servicemen. The wings for Army Aviation. The 93 proof for 1993.

Finger slip. I hit the laugh accidentally 😇. I have never acquired a taste for rye. I drank too much of that back in Canada when I was in the military. I may have to re-broaden my horizons.. 😎

Crown is sweeter than Jack. It’s sweet blackberry on sweet whiskey.
I kind of liked the Jack Blackberry better due to that fact it was not sweet/sweet. Seemed a little bit better flavor balance in the JD blackberry.

FYI… Canadian whiskey can be by govt regulations up to 9% sweetener, which explains Canadian whiskey.
