Good stuff. Do halfsies!

I've been using 50/50 Kentucky 74/bourbon for several months now when making manhattans, and it works really, really well. Less alcohol intake, and still a truly tasty drink. I had been buying K74 from a not-too-conveniently-located store, so I decided to order direct. I'm a convert for sure.

So sorry

I was so hopeful this item would suffice as a substitute, but alas it does not deliver. My son has enjoyed a shot of Jim Beam unadorned by even ice. He like it neat because the of its biting warmth as he twirls it in his mouth. While Kentucky 74 has a bite that warms, the flavor nearly gags as it hits the taste buds. I was really hoping to be able to write a positive review but even I did not find the taste pleasing to my pallet.

Does not taste anything like a bourbon. Even mixing it with real bourbon makes no difference.
