I've never swallowed any bourbon, but now I have a pretty good idea of what it tastes like. This sauce is loaded with an unfamiliar (to me) flavor that just has to be the bourbon. It's a burned, slightly bitter flavor--and I don't like it at all. I've tried it three times now, and though my dislike on the third tasting wasn't as intense as on the first, it's still a net negative. On all three occasions, I was comparing it directly with Trader Joe's Carolina Gold, with half of the plate using each, and I strongly preferred the latter each time, with every forkful.
Will I buy it again?
No. I don't want to eat any more of it, so it's going back to the store for a refund.
Oh jeesh.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually my FAVORITE bar bq sauce, specifically because it.isnt to sweet, but also not overly spicy. A bit smoky. Delicious.
