    Thrifty Whiskey Review Rules.
    1. We personally purchased or are able on any given day walk into our local store and purchase the bottle for under $30 before tax. All purchases must be able to be done by any regular consumer.
    2. Two of our reviewers are always blind. This is so that brand and price will not have an effect on their judgment of the whiskey. (Josh sometimes has to pour the spirit and host, so he is not always drinking blind.)

    My father drank this and I do too to this day primarily due to its cost. I drink it in a frosted glass, 4 ice cubes with an ice-cold water mixer. Yes, give it a minute to rest, but putting the chill to it makes it sing. It reminds me of my Dad, and I like that.

    I just tried Ancient Age for the first time today. I was very suprised by it. For the price, its definately going on my list of budget bourbons.

      I agree the flavor is good. I did a taste test with people that doubted the quality and flavor because the cost was 25$ for 1.75 Liter! Blind taste test 3 outta 4 people choose AA over Makers Mark

    Interesting these ratings up against the AAA10 video. Be interesting to see both in a blind together. Maybe some benchmark editions to make it up to 4.

      @@ThriftyWhiskey I've done this with EW 1783 and Ezra Brooks 90. The improvement was astounding. It really smoothes out the whisky. My son did it with Smoky Mountain Moonshine and made it really drinkable.

    Wow. This bourbon, for whatever reason, I have always considered to be cheap swill. After your review I guess I will have to try it. For $10, why not?!

    No, if you get the baby, you have to buy the next cake. I like Ancient Age and Ancient Ancient Age 10 Star (90 proof). Ancient Age Blended is only "so-so".

    Kings cake is a Rip off of the Mexican Rosca. Same concept with the baby Jesus but it’s a Mexican pastry.
