Have any of you alcoholics ever heard of this stuff? It was given to me as a gift from one of my employees but I have never seen or heard of it before. Are they trying to poison me? This person is from a south American country.

I can't find much on it.

Doesn’t look like it’s sold in America, which tells me it’s either really good or really shitty.

It's a blended Scotch. Doesn't mean it's bad but it's probably lower to mid shelf quality. Either your employee likes the stuff or it's just some random buy.

Okay, It's just difficult to find any solid info on it so that is what made it weird. Like I said though, they are from another country so maybe it is something they drink there. No idea.

I'm going to give it a go this weekend. I opened it up to take a whiff and it smells pretty sweet. I saw that it had honey but it also smelled of vanilla.

Also looked like it was super cheap. I saw one price of like $150 pesos which is only like 7 or 8 bucks US.

I'll give a report after this weekend. Maybe as a mixer or something.

Not much to be honest. Most of the stuff I saw was from other countries and in different languages.

It doesn't say whisky (without the e) on the bottle but the little bit that I did find says it's a bourbon and another labeled it as a whisky.

More like $15 and 150 pesos is more to person in Mexico than $15 is to a person here, tbf.

The no liquor on Sundays thing is such bullshit. That and the inability for grocery stores, drug stores, etc to sell. It doesn't prevent alcoholism, just makes it fucking inconvenient for everybody else.

Nah, it's $7.55, fam but I do get what you are saying.

I tasted it. It wasn't completely horrible but someone did say that it can be compared to Chivas :huh . I don't know about that but it wasn't completely bad. I'd probably use it to mix though.

You should have hit me up, little brother. I got bottles and bottles for gifts. Vodkas and whiskeys mostly. Mostly all Texas brand liquors with some crown bottles mixed in.

Usually a product labled as "premium" is full of shit tbh

Googling black head brings up a lot of shit not whiskey related.

"Premium" aside (as that is such a subjective term), it's amazing how distillers are allowed to spout bullshit and straight up lie on their labels.
