Vat's Dis?

Jest messing around, I wondered what Maker's Mark, Old Potrero Rye Malt Whiskey, and Beam's Red Stag would taste like vatted together. So I took 50 ml of MM, 5 ml of RS, and 7 ml of OP.
The nose carries a tad of the RS (I can identify the cherry aroma), a touch more of the OP (the rye spice nutty aromas) and a smidge of the MM leather.
As you would expect the taste is on the sweet side from the MM and from the RS. There is a decided rye bite in the finish courtesy of the OP. Overall, It tastes more like a potent cocktale with just a splash of marischino cherry juice than like a vatting of whiskies.
Pretty good, actually. Barleycorn wants to know when I will be making more of this stuff because it tastes like barbeque rabbit to him.
