Alright, let’s talk about this Howlerhead Whiskey stuff. I ain’t no fancy drinker, mind you. Just a plain ol’ body who likes a little somethin’ to warm the belly now and again. This here whiskey, though, it’s got a bit of a twist.
So, first off, they tell me some fella named Dana White, big shot in the fightin’ world, he’s got a hand in this. Him and some company called Wooler Brand. Don’t know ’em from Adam, but they sure do make a fuss about this drink. They call it “Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey,” which sounds all highfalutin’, but what it really means is it’s made in Kentucky and it’s got that bourbon kick.
Now, here’s the kicker, the thing that sets it apart. This ain’t your grandpa’s whiskey, no sir. This stuff tastes like… bananas! Yeah, you heard me right, bananas. They say it’s “natural banana flavor,” whatever that means. Sounds kinda strange, I know, but it ain’t half bad. It’s got that strong whiskey taste, but then you get this sweetness from the banana. It’s like a party in your mouth, they say. I just say it’s different.
They mix it with Kentucky bourbon, they say, the good stuff. And then they add that banana somethin’ or other. You get that oaky taste, like from a barrel, and then that sweet banana taste. It’s a real mix-up, but it works, somehow. Like puttin’ sugar on your grits, I guess. Some folks like it, some don’t. Me? I ain’t complainin’.
- How to drink it? Well, they say you can drink it straight, just like that, no fuss.
- Or you can put it on some ice, if you like it cold.
- Or you can even take it like a shot, if you’re in a hurry. I ain’t much for shots, myself. Too strong, burns goin’ down. But you do what you like, I always say.
They talk about it bein’ a “fan favorite.” I guess that means folks like it. And I can see why. It’s different, it’s got a kick, and it’s got that sweetness. It ain’t like nothin’ I ever tasted before, that’s for sure. My old man, he wouldn’t touch this stuff. He liked his whiskey plain and strong, no fruit or nothin’ fancy. But times change, I guess.
This here Howlerhead, they make a big deal about it bein’ from the “jungle”, talkin’ about “straight from the jungle banana goodness”. I reckon that’s just talk, you know, marketin’ stuff. The bananas probably come from a farm, just like everythin’ else. But it sounds good, I guess. Makes you think of monkeys and wild places. Not that I’ve ever seen a monkey drinkin’ whiskey, mind you. That would be a sight, though.
So, is it any good? Well, like I said, I ain’t no expert. But I reckon it’s worth a try. It’s different, it’s tasty, and it’s got a bit of a kick. If you like whiskey, and you like bananas, then you’ll probably like this Howlerhead stuff. And if you don’t like it, well, there’s plenty of other fish in the sea, as they say. Or maybe I should say, plenty of other whiskeys in the bottle. You find somethin’ you like, and you stick with it. That’s my motto.
But this here Howlerhead, it’s got somethin’ special. That banana taste, it sticks with ya. It’s a conversation starter, too. You can bet your bottom dollar, folks will ask you what you’re drinkin’ when they smell that banana. And then you can tell ’em all about it, about the fightin’ fella Dana White and his fancy whiskey. Or you can just say it tastes like bananas and leave it at that. Either way, it’s a drink that gets people talkin’.
So, there you have it. My two cents on Howlerhead Whiskey. It ain’t the gospel truth, mind you, just one old woman’s opinion. But I reckon that’s all you need sometimes, just a plain and simple opinion. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll pour myself another glass. For medicinal purposes, of course. You know, to keep the joints from gettin’ stiff.
