I have been using Johnnie jogger essence for a few years and it has been really good but the last batch I ordered had a funny taste to it . A friend of mine also has complained to me that his whiskey was also tasting different. I don't know if there was a mistake made when the batch was made but I will be using a different essence to make my whiskey from here on. It's a shame because the Edwards Johnnie jogger was really good.
