I mean, CEHT Tornado I can see (having tasted it), but how different is it from basic CEHT? IMHO -indistinguishable. Worth twice the price of CEHT SmB? Not to me. Uncle Nearest's intro offers, and its back story (which, like the back story of the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", was "mostly true") were OK. This new stuff? Pass, everybody, and let's go back to the bottom shelf to recalibrate our palates. ASIDE - Is it just the Fall Season and consequent change in body chemistry that has me getting picky or has something (like a new Black Hole) opened on the Astral Plane and tilted our Galaxy in such manner as to cause this ennui? In other words, I feel slightly out of sorts. SEE - the next ASIDE. THE NEXT ASIDE - Out of sorts? THEN, it's time for a refill. After that, as Samuel Pepys wrote, "And so to bed."

Accordingly, it technically is a Single Malt, just not barley, and it appears to meet the criteria for straight bourbon too...very interesting! I wish it had some more age on it, but I’d certainly like to taste it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a category Single Malt is recognized globally as Malted Barley, I understand what they were going for but I for one would like to see the US define Single Malt in the same way as Scotland to not water down the identity of the product. Call it Straight Malted Corn Bourbon or Malted Corn Whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
