I opened up a bottle of Corsets over the Thanksgiving weekend last year, I LOVED it, and cannot find any more.
I have it on my wish list on Flaviar for a year now, no notifications.
I never revisited the Pappy's.
My car and drinking buddy Kevin and I did the Whiskey tasting together. We tried in this order:
Pappys 10y/o
Pappys 20 y/o
Pappys 23 y/o
Bushmills 21 y/o
I really wanted that 23 y/o to be nothing special, maybe on the same level as the Bushmills 21 y/o.
Out of the 4 we tried, the 23 was just on another level, completely, nothing came close to it.
The flavor was complex, it was extremely smooth, you could drink this straight up no problem, I had to cut it slightly just to see if it would open up more and it did, cutting it with about 25% water brought out even more flavor, which was insane to begin with.
To put this in perspective the Bushmills 21 is remarkable and one of the smoothest whiskeys I have in my cabinet right now. That 23 y/o made it seem common.
I wish I never tasted it.
