The Bird Dog Bourbon Whiskey brand is probably best known for their various flavored whiskeys, including jalapeño honey-flavored whiskey, chocolate-flavored whiskey, and (the apparently) award-winning blackberry-flavored whiskey. Not being a fan of flavored whiskey, and particularly not anything related to the unholy combination of jalapeño, honey and bourbon, the Bird Dog Small Batch is my first foray with the label.
