cabin still

cabin still looks like this:

price 9.88 (except it's a full liter, not 750ml!)
purchased at:  hy-vee wine and spirits in cedar rapids, ia

now this is more like it.  cabin still follows up old crow with another great label.  it looks all old-timey, it's got that cool font, and there's like a brick tepee or some shit on it.  that alone is reason enough to throw nine bucks at it.

but this is actually not a terrible whiskey!  unlike with that fucking old crow from last time, this stuff doesn't taste like literal fire water.  cabin still is shockingly smooth given the price.  while it doesn't have a ton of taste altogether, just the absence of the horrible burning makes this a huge improvement over a lot of the competition.  while many would note that a positive review that could be summed up as "doesn't taste good but isn't painful to drink so hooray" is the sort of thing a wino would say, eagle-eyed readers will note that i have nothing to live for and might as well just get my booze on.

in conclusion, this is likely to become a go-to cheap whiskey for me.  it's certainly not good by any stretch, but it's about as not bad as you could hope for in this price range.

verdict:  more like cabin THRILL
