Tatoosh Bourbon

[B.B. Babington]

Tried sip of this and liked it. Distinctive. Put me in mind of Woodford. Strong bite like a young whiskey but taste had little more going on, could pass for a 6 year old (website says aged 3 years). Sort of a musty leather tone that I liked. Good aftertaste that lingered longer than typical for young whiskey. Website says they also produce a rye as well as a french oak aged malt. Looks like maybe this is beered and distilled in washington state then aged in oregon?? The distinctive character makes me curious enough to maybe spring for other Tatoosh products if I find them at somewhat reasonable sticker, but not going to shell out obscene craft price. Anyone else tried it?

Oh good Lord, finest ingredients, century old family formula and man is it ever smooth. Where have we heard this before? When I see one of these my first impulse is to wish they are making a good product. My instinct though is to question why spend all that money on packaging instead of investing in the whisky by letting it age a year longer.

yes, their marketing is definitely geared to younger naive crowd touting six generations of moonshiners, old B&W photos lending authenticity, and cliche quotes from Twain and Fields about necessity of whiskey. It'll work great for consumers bored with vodka.

Isn't Tatoosh the planet Luke Skywalker is from?
