1st from the Advent Calendar.
When I was picking a whiskey advent calendar last year (actually, it was this year, in January), I decided not to go with Scotch whiskey, as there’s a good chance I would be familiar or even own half of it. So, despite not being a fan of anything but Scotch, I bought the World Whiskey Advent Calendar by Drinks By The Dram.
First one is a corn whiskey from Mexico. I never ever heard of Mexican whiskey, and only had corn distillate in bourbons. The color is very light, and the taste is surprisingly good, despite 43% (at least not 40%!).
You can taste the actual corn, it’s smooth and quite sweet. And for 43%, it actually hits pretty hard. For 39GBP, that’s actually pretty good deal.
