Ok, not looking forward to bourbon spoiling my cider but wtf? At least its in a bottle and its not even a screw top either! Nose is a little alarming, bad cider with hints of bourbon whisky, how rude! Clear pale with some decent visible co2 putting on an eye display. Taste is cider and its sweet and it does have a tingle of whiskey in there, just barely. Yes, also had a good sharp edge amount of co2 on the palate. Now, in the middle, I think I'm picking up some soap in the taste, a little bit of a turn off. And yes, that odd nose comes in and bite-chah. A little more rude than most sonaomas. Not quite as good as I was expecting. Bar soapy palate continues to the end. Disappointing, but hey, what can you expect from another alky product's effect on beer? Want bourbon? Go drink it, leave my ciders alone.
