Bourbon and House Ratings

 

Below is the rating system I created to rate the whiskeys I review here and it should feel familiar to most.  As opposed to the 1 - 5 often seen, or the 5 star rating system, I felt that 1 - 100 gives proper flexibility, room for more analysis and a proper point of reference, while helping differentiate one whiskey from another in the classic structure.  


97 - 100  -  Tears of the Angels.  Some of the best juice i’ve ever tasted.

92 - 96    -  Excellent. Of very high quality,

88 - 91    -  Very good, great quality stuff.

80 - 87    -  Solid.  Good every day pour.

70 - 79    -  OK. No regrets, but wouldn't buy a second bottle.

60 - 69    -  Bad, maybe use to disinfect a laceration.  

0 < 59    -  I wouldn't offer this to a homeless person, out of fear of insulting them.
