It's cool enough outside, and at least it's September. The Southern Tier Pumpking batch this year is quite good. You can still taste the graham cracker crust in there. 8.6% ABV so you gotta limit it to one or 2.

Many years it has too much sweetness to it for me. Looks like they may have listened to consumers and tailed it back a bit. It's still sweet, but it's more palletable.

7.7/10

You know what’s a thing these days at fancy lounges, bars, cigar bars?

Having a HUGE bourbon list but then not having 40% of the list in stock.

“We’re out of that”

Nonsense. You don’t carry it or you carried it once don’t insult my intelligence.

My son real big on pumpkin beer season. Complained to him over visiting last Christmas season that WTF with refrig looking like all pumpkin beer. I'm not the biggest fan.

So before telling him your review, asked him about ST pumpkin and said had it few years ago and didn't like it because tasted like "candy corn." So told him what you said so he will give it another try. Thanks from him for the advice. :up

We cut back on our bourbons for that reason, too many out of stocks. Too many bourbon speculators and collectors get it, wholesalers cannot meet demand.

Will be interesting to hear his review

If he still thinks it tastes like candy corn I won't be 100% surprised - but I do feel they tailed back they sweetness a bit this year
