Review:
Tahwahkaro Bourbon Whiskey is a first product from the Tahwahkaro Distillery located in Grapevine, Texas. The name means “bend in the river in Native American. It is bottled at 96 proof and is listed as Batch #2. The mash bill is a combo of Texas raw corn, wheat, rye and malted barley and is aged in charred American Oak for approximately 1 year. The age is not stated or released.
First sample: I thought the following, rough, hard, young, harsh mixer, not great but ok to mix.
Second sample: I thought the following, tastes a little better but, it is what is it is. The nose is very sharp with alcohol and the taste is rough and young.
I see on TAH website that they have won some awards. It is good for a mixer not a straight drinker. I think the tasting issue for me was I had tried some better whiskey before this one and it threw me off when I tasted it.
Priced around $45 in Texas and I have not seen it on the shelves in NYC.
