Well, I hate to say it, I had to "suffer" through that first glass of this stuff. The wife brought it home since it was something new in our local store and she knows I really like Crown. If I were to compare this to another bourbon, and I could swear they used this other bourbon to match, it's Evan Williams. I had a bottle of EA for a long time because the stuff had a very strong smell and my wife couldn't stand it. And harsh, man, I think you could swallow unleaded easier than this stuff lol.
It is Crown, but they are trying to compete with the real bourbons here in the US and that just isn't going to happen. It was worth a shot though and I got me a new bag lol.
