Only bottle I have ended up pouring down the drain after 3 pours.

Awful stuff. No wonder it is still on the shelf.

I second the vote on the Rebel Yell,absolute garbage in a bottle!

Slate Bourbon. http://danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_.../slate-bourbon

An Australian only release that can actually ruin a good glass of coke... I've heard it makes a good degreaser though

I started a thread a couple of years ago titled "Down The Drain". Pretty close to the same meaning. So, here's what I posted back then. I believe these two pretty much qualify as the worst bourbons I've ever tasted.



I just wondered how many of you have had a bottle of bourbon, (or other spirit) that you ended up pouring down the drain.

Yesterday, I was taking an inventory of my collection, and was cleaning my cabinet a little, and rearranging things. I came across my bottle of Old Crow Reserve. I bought this when it first came out. It tasted "different" the first time I tried it. I've since gone back to it three or four times, and it hadn't gotten any better. Yesterday, I gave it one more try. No dice. I couldn't take it anymore. Down the drain it went. This is only the second time I've ever done that. The other bottle I ended up pouring down the drain, was a bottle of Gran Legacy. A "generic" bourbon sold by CVS pharmacies.

So here are two to start the parade.

Gran Legacy

I can hardly wait to see what else may have ended up as Draino! Joe

I've only dumped two bourbons, as I find I can usually mix them with ginger ale and bitters to make a decent drink. The first was an older Ten High, 200 ml, which was just mediocre, and didn't mix well with others. The other was a tainted (I hope) JTS Brown 86. It went fine if I was smoking my pipe or cigar, but alone was just funky weird bad, cardboard and dirt.

Fighting Cock, Old Forrester didn't dump but turned into marinade.

Old Crow is what I've started using for my aging trials. I feel its only shortcoming is age, but it's quite the major shortcoming.
