Bird Dog
On the nose Bird Dog Bourbon has a light wood aroma with a strong alcohol scent. On the palate there isn’t much going on here besides some light grain flavors with a faint trace of honey and maple syrup. The finish is short with the same flavors from above and a slight burn. The mouthfeel with this whiskey is very thin and the flavors tasted artificial. I tried this whiskey neat, on the rocks, with a splash, and in a cocktail. For me, I enjoyed it best in a cocktail. Overall, I was not too impressed with this whiskey, but I did enjoy the cocktail I made with it. I have heard from others that they really enjoyed it but it was not a match for my tastes. The bottle does have a very nice appearance though and features a nice picture of a dog. Bird Dog also comes in flavors such as peach, maple, blackberry, and hot cinnamon.
