I think we've clearly established that you and I have opposite palates. Just completely disagree.

Lol RC16 is fantastic. But I have been suuuuper disappointed with the RC Spanish Oak after all the hype on this page.

Yeah I think the RC Spanish Oak is gross. Has the semi-sweet Texas funk of all the other Texas whiskies I hate.

Was waiting to open my Spanish oak until I finished my RC16 but this is making me want to go ahead and crack it.

You reserved two bottles of the TexAgs Spanish Oak pick. Would you like me to give them to the next two people on the waitlist?

Yes, you can. Would rather someone that likes the Spanish Oak have them, now that I've tried it. I was hopeful it would taste like non-Texas bourbon like the RC16, but I can't get over the Texas funk. Our water is just not made for good whiskey.

I don't get the Texas Funk on it personally. I think it drinks like something much older than what it is...and the dark color makes it seem that way also. I love me some MGP so I'll never complain. Once it's gone (and those barrels will be gone soon) I think people will continue to seek it on secondary IMHO. I was happy to trade ECTB 1:1 for it recently.

I was under the impression that this was MGP cut with RC distillate. Looking at the press release from when they announced the Spanish Oak, it appears I was mistaken and the SO is solely MGP distillate. Not sure if it's the Texas heat or I just don't like whiskey aged in Spanish Oak barrels, but it has a funky sweetness to it that I just don't enjoy.

The SO itself was probably sourced from TX.

Correct, MGP distillate placed in new Spanish Oak barrels for 4 years here in Texas and then transferred to a second fill ex bourbon barrel for 2 more years. It's not Texas funk, it's Spanish Oak funk. I dig it because it's very pecan syrup with a little bit of MGP cherry.

That makes sense and describes the flavor very well. I don't like the pecan syrup notes.

Our palates are really different.

The Spanish Oak is softer. That's why the color is so dark. Pulls more wood out.

Syrupy pecan and cherries. Yummm.

Different type of wood on the barrels... and an extra 10 years surely helps

Just funny to see the back peddling from saying it had Texas funk, then you not realizing it was MGP juice, then calling it a "funky sweetness", then saying you don't like syrup pecans notes

Not back peddling at all - I admitted I was incorrect about the source of the juice. Doesn't change that it has a funky sweetness I don't like that tastes like Texas funk to me, which I am guessing is attributable to the Spanish Oak barrels. And pecan syrup is a good descriptor of the funky sweet note that I do not enjoy. Anyone who would try to claim that RC16 tastes anything remotely similar to RC SO, though, needs to go have a Covid test asap, because their tongue is broken.

Honestly. People have told me they prefer Spanish Oak over RC16.

Spanish Oak is a better pour. And you cannot beat the price.

To me, this is a hysterically absurd statement. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
