/r/Bourbon invites you to join us in reviewing a Monthly Whisky.
- Newcomers are highly encouraged to participate. We are picking something widely available so it will be fun to compare notes.
- Describe your experience as well as the key elements of the dram. For example, "I sipped this on my back porch looking out at the most beautiful sunset ever" might lend itself to an enjoyable experience more than "I drank this as quickly as possible in a smoke infested bondage club." - but we don’t judge...
- Review your Bourbon sometime between now and the due date. On that day, there will be a mod thread to post reviews in. Don't post your review separately.
- The general format is: Color, Nose, Taste, and Finish. You can feel free to add more, but try to cover at least these four. Also, provide a rating out of 100. Review Formatting Help
Use Tex's Guide to Reviewing if you have never written a review before and/or need some pointers. Use this Nosing/Tasting Chart as some help as well.
Be sure you write down your impressions when you drink. Just complete your review when you drink, and then wait until the due date to post it.
