![]() It’s the first thing that hits your senses, but in a somewhat subdued and more agreeable level of intensity than you would expect from something like a blackberry liqueur. I didn’t get any of the blackberry in the aroma, but I absolutely see it in the taste. There’s some raw corn, vanilla, caramel, some baking spices, and maybe just a tiny hint of citrus or rye. The liquid is a little darker than the average amber color in the glass, but the aromas I get coming off it are pretty common bourbon notes. And not even a modern one - more like a late 1990’s Ford Focus. It’s the design equivalent of a Ford Focus. This would be cooler if they did their own distillation and such, but in this case (since it’s just re-barreled MGP distillate), that really isn’t useful information. What is noteworthy, though, is that the bottle is labeled with specific identifiers (bottle number, barrel number, etc) as if it was a single barrel expression. Black text on a white background with the brand information in big letters, it takes up a ton of real estate on the bottle without really providing any character in return. Similarly, the label isn’t really anything to write home about. It’s all capped off with a wood and cork stopper. The only really distinctive thing about the bottle is that the shoulder is fluted with some slightly indented sections. The bottle design is pretty standard and boring: a cylindrical body, tapered shoulder, and a medium length neck with a slight bulge in the middle. ![]() Once at the Three Boys Farm Distillery, the whiskey is then placed into barrels that previously used for blackberry brandy and aged in these before being bottled and shipped. It arrives at the Three Boys Farm Distillery as a ready-made bourbon, meaning that the spirit was made from at least 51% corn (although the specific grain bill is not disclosed) and matured in charred new oak barrels for an undetermined period of time. ProductĪs I mentioned, this whiskey is actually produced at the massive industrial whiskey distillery known as MGP. Instead, they import spirits distilled at the Indiana-based MGP facility, age them in unique or interesting ways, and then bottle the results under their own label. Founded in 2013, the distillery is located on a 122 acre farm, and is family owned and operated.įor the Good Times brand, they don’t actually use their own whiskey. Good Times is a brand of whiskey produced by the Three Boys Farm Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. ![]()
