Inasmuch as it's popular in many online whisky groups to regard blends as "inferior" (especially mass market blends such as JW), my fellow Connosr members tend to be a bit more open minded. After all,…

I've never had the "basic" Gooderham & Worts whisky so I figured I owed it to myself to try it.* Nose: There’s sweetness at first with brown sugar and caramel, followed by some surprisingly assertive rye…
