Alibi Whiskey

These guys had a booth at the great smoke last weekend. Sampled their wares mixed in lemonade... not bad... they have me a 50ml bottle to try later. They said they were a blended bourbon, distilled in Kentucky and bottled in Florida.

So I have a cup of ice and I am ready to remove the top of the aforementioned 50ml when I notice writing on the side of the bottle

"27.5% blended 3 year old straight bourbon whiskey, 72.5% grain neutral spirit"


Then I look up their website (NSFW!!!!!!!!!) (really it is NSFW)

http://alibiwhiskey.com/


WTF??

Ah... they dont want to be a sipping whiskey:

I must be getting old, because the day I drop $27 bucks on a blended hiskey that isn't even all whskey is the day hell freezes over no matter how cute the 'rep' was.

Oh, and Michters was there, their push was mixing bourbon with tea and peaches.... not bad but kind of defeats the reason I drink whiskey.
