Corona Gorda
Had a lot to choose between at dinner tonight. 4R 130th, Wild Turkey Masters Keep, Parkers Heritage 14, EC18, and the one I chose, PH curaçao finish. There were many others, but I picked the one I'd had the chance to buy but passed on, since it was an odd finish.
I'd heard that the orange was definitely present, but in a good way. Never could understand that. Interpreted that to mean it was like a cocktail, or at least moderately influenced by the orange liqueur. No way was I dropping $100+ on a bottle when it was offered, one which I may hate... It turns out, I regret that decision. It was like drinking the best Heaven Hill product, a stellar version of Elijag Craig, smooth and flavorful, but with the slightest hint of orange at the end of the finish. By no means overpowering- actually hardly present- and my fears of a "flavored whiskey" were unfounded.
It was a $38 pour, so not one I'll repeat, but glad I tried it. Opened my mind a bit...
