Root…We Likey
At first glance the bottle itself has a great design. Rounded with a cork, Root already distinguishes itself from most..err..ummm..whiskeys? No this is not really a whisky but a different type of liquor. Though its name eludes to a sweet taste, in actuality its not nearly as sweet as expected. It has a similar first taste as Jager but finishes different. More drinkable than jager, but more sweet than a typical whisky it has the possibility to be drank straight up or mixed. We prefer straight up with any real liquor. The man behind Root is Steven Grasse, the branding man behind Hendricks Gin, which we like. We also like Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, the company responsible for Root. AFK approves, we spent about 50 bones on this, it’ll probably be cheaper once its distributed more. But we liked it as you can see its empty, and it was a good warm up for an evening in the Tenderloin.
