Whiskey River is Willie Nelson's signature bourbon, which is made by Heaven Hill. I got this photograph from the PR folks and thought some of you might enjoy it.

Thanks for the photo Chuck. John 'Hands' Roberts aka johnrobe of the forum had a bottle and a tasting, but he never did post it. JR has stumbled upon a piece of bad luck in his life. He reads but hasn't posted in quite awhile. We pray the sun shines upon him once again, and soon.

Re: Whiskey River
I'm afraid the photo's better than the bourbon. 6 YO Heaven Hill is, well, 6 YO Heaven Hill. I love Willie, but buying a bourbon that's supposedly made to his taste is like buying a painting commissioned for Jose Feliciano.

Re: Whiskey River
Ryan,
Yep. Nice packaging, but the taste just didn't inspire. This whiskey has potential, wonder what it may taste like if aged 2, maybe 3 additional years.

Re: Whiskey River
Another two or three years couldn't hurt. Around 8 YO is when Heaven Hill starts to get interesting to me. The packaging is nice, but it's not nice enough to command the $25 per bottle they're asking for it down here. Willie's IRS debt can't still be that bad, can it?
