Worst Whisky Ever - And It's Australian
I usually try do the right thing and support local products, by at least giving them a try. So recently, when in a bottle shop I saw a bottle of,
"Blend 73
Premium Whisky
A fine Australian Spirit blended from selected mature whiskies to produce a smooth mellow finish",
I thought I'd give it a go.
Up till now, the worst whiskies I'd ever tasted was one called Tayside that they used to sell in Liquorland many years ago, and more recently one I bought in the Lidl chain in Italy for 5 Euros a bottle. These two weren't bad or undrinkable, just at the lowest end - and would pass if mixed with Coke.
And then I tried Blend 73. It makes the previous two seem like masterpieces of the blending craft.
If I had to describe it, it would be caramel and lots of vanilla added to something similar to furniture polish. I can't drink it straight or mixed. And I worry that whatever it is may kill me.
Has anybody else tried this stuff?
Regards,
Renato
