I have a bottle that I haven’t opened. I guess I probably won’t now.

try this...
shake it intensely for a minute and remove cork to let it breathe for 10min. Then try some later that day |

This?
Just got a bottle last week, haven't opened it yet. It's a 100% corn product. I figured it might be a bit sweeter than typical, didn't think it would suck. |

There’s a reason it’s aged for years and not months.......aging adds flavor, mellows, smooths out the harshness of corn liquor

Quoted:
Hudson Baby Bourbon from NY. I had a cocktail made with one version of this that I liked so much, my wife got me a bottle for christmas. That one was a blend of aged whiskey and was pretty solid. Then we got another. It's the 3 month-aged, non-blended version. It's legit terrible. Best I could place the flavor was a mix of grain alcohol that had soaked in creasote barrels. You know, like if you licked a telephone pole. Took a can and a half of ginger ale to dilute it enough to even drink (I'm not one to waste). I will probably use the rest to start camp fires or make drinks for people that prefer the taste of a dumpster fire. |

Calumet followed by Willet.
Calumet tasted like musty wood and gym socks. Willet just isn't good. It's drinkable if you've got nothing else. Eagle Rare is bourbon-light. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It’s funny you mention that but it’s true.....for years if you found a craft brewery as an example you were assured that you were going to get a good beer.....anymore I’m running into some real shit beer and Bourbon is the same...I think the problem with a new upstart Bourbon small batch distiller is the fact that they can’t afford to wait the 4 years minimum to produce something that has enough character to stand on its own The problem nowadays is that even the sourced stock is unobtainable for a reasonable price. Dickel is one of the only places that you can source from without paying through the nose, and lots of dickel is just sub par. It’s going to be interesting to see in 6-8 years where a lot of craft distilleries leave town and the big quality distilleries get caught up on stock. |

Best thing to weed out the worst bourbons like super young or terrePURE garbage is to either stick with straight bourbons or one with an actual age statement.

only whiskey I think I ever dumped (intentionally) was a moonshine/whitelightning something I got as a gift. I couldn't add even a touch of it to coke without ruining it. I didn't think to soak cherries or anything in it, just chucked.
I wanted to like Hudson because it's my son's name. And one bottle (the one that's aged correctly) was actually good, even for being corny. It's the other that's undrinkable. I don't usually write a review if something is bad but if this saves 1 person from wasting $50 it's worth it. I may try and age it myself with some oak chips. Or I might try it for cooking/making BBQ sauce. Most likely I will just make this face  every time I see it on my way to get Buffalo Trace.

OK, I opened my bottle last night, specifically because of this thread, and I admit, I was disappointed.
Very, very harsh, both on the nose in a glencairn, and drinking. I tried a cube, then two, then a splash of water on top, and it really didn't improve. Oh, well. I'll try the company again somewhere down the road, but, yeah, this bottle will likely just sit at the back of the shelf as visual filler. |

Trying the HB bourbon again now...
Very light on the nose surprisingly. A bit of caramel. Drinking, very syrupy (from the sugar). It's not complex and there's not a lot of individual notes. Some spiciness slightly reminiscent of a rye. Definitely not overpowering though. Very 'disapppearing' aftertaste. 6 or 7 out of 10. Would not pour out. |
