Sutliff Tobacco Company China Black Whiskey
(2.60)
China Black Whiskey - Bourbon Whiskey is distinctive. Only spirits produced in Bourbon County, Kentucky can be called bourbon; otherwise, they are labeled sour mash whiskey. The distinctiveness of bourbon, in turn, makes China Black Whiskey a distinctive pipe blend. A blend of golden cavendish, black cavendish and Oriental. Sweetly aromatic and delightfully mild without a bite.

The grassy, citrusy gold cavendish is the base of the blend. The unsweetened black cavendish provides some brown sugar as a supporting player. Far in the background is a dry, lightly buttery sweet, woody Oriental. The whiskey topping is sweet and sublimates the tobaccos to a fair extent, though it lacks a little richness. Barely has any nicotine. Won’t bite, but may get slightly warm on the tongue if puffed fast. Burns clean at a moderate pace with a fairly consistent flavor. Leaves some moisture in the bowl, and needs a few relights as it burns a little wet. Has a sweet, short lived after taste. An all day smoke. Two and a half stars.

I have purchased this in the past from Iwan Ries, which touts the blend as its own. I have noticed that Altadis also distributes other IRC blends, including Three Star Blue.
Anyway, China Black Whiskey tasted like a step up in grade of leaf from Captain Black White to me. It burned a bit more dry than the Captain, but had that same heavily cased taste.
If you like sweet blends that will not bite your tongue off, give this brew a whirl in your pipe.

This was a very nice bakkie, it was very sweet but pleasant to smoke, and leaving the pipe rather dry, for a change.
The whiskey aroma was not as of Borkum Riff, for example, but more sweet; I didn't have the impression that I was smoking or smelling, whiskey.
Far from a grand tobacco, but certainly better than Captain Black.
Actually, next time I go to the U.S.A., I will buy nme a couple pouch, for the sake of good ol' times!

Not bad, just too mild for me. Certainly worth a try, if you enjoy this sort of thing.

If you really pay attention, you can catch a bit of the Bourbon flavoring, but most of the time it is buried somewhere under the cavendish.
Overall, too sweet for me. The Oriental is well hidden under teh sweetness.
It had a decent room note, and it was a smooth cool smoke.
