White Oak Akashi
A Whiskey Review by The Whiskey Noob
Saw this in a casino and was really interested because I’ve never seen it before. I was pretty stoked to try it and I was talking to the bartender a little about whiskies and it seemed like he knew what he was talking about and said he liked this.
He didn’t know shit…
It’s a good thing he turned his back to me to pour someone else a drink or else he would have seem me make a “holy shit this is not good” face.
I think that will be the last time I trust a bartender for his/her opinion on whiskey. Especially now that I kiiinda know a little more.
It’s always easy to persuade a Noob because as long as you talk confidently enough thenmost likely he/she will take your advice
I think I’ll just do my own due diligence and research whiskies I want to try. That way I can just blame myself if it’s not good.
Oh well, lesson learned!
