George Dickel is as bad as it's name.

Evan Williams is MUCH greater than Ezra Brooks.

Jim Beam Devil's Cut is pretty dang good! Maybe Jim ain't so bad.

Best thing in the Beam line is the Booker's small batch. The pigskin batch is pretty good

I find the George Dickel growing on me. BIG BOLD flavor with heavy tobacco tastes to finish. Might save for a stuffy nose. wink

This is my new favorite. It's $32.99 a bottle and is an excellent tasting sipping bourbon whiskey....

I can't get Basil Hayden for $32.99 or I'd have already tried it. I definitely want to.

Here is where I am at, so far:

Good for an occasional change
• Bulleit Rye - $31.99, lots of spice, little on the bitter side but pretty dang good.
• Makers 46 - $42.99, even bolder, spicy, yes it is worth the extra $$$, nose not great, good neat. My favorite mixed with cola.
• Buffalo Trace 35.99 - weak nose, lightly spiced, easy sipper, enjoyable, little overpriced imo, would buy again under $30.
• Knob Creek - 32.99 nose-weak, sweet, easy sipper, excellent whiskey, but for flavor profile, I'll probably buy Larceny for less $$$.
• George Dickel No. 12 - 28.99 Bold, strong tobacco flavor, most unique so far.


In my normal rotation
• Woodford Reserve - 38.99, licorice taste mixed (I like it), very good neat. Good stuff!
• Jim Beam Devil's Cut 25.99 - weak nose, heavy oak, decent spice, fast/clean finish. Good value.
• 1792 - 32.99 banana bread, hot finish, very good.
• Sazerac Rye - 29.99 excellent rye whiskey, slighter bitter finish may turn some off.
• Evan Williams BIB - 20.99, balanced with good spice, very good mixed, good neat, excellent value.


Must have on hand
• Larceny- 25.99 This is the good stuff!
• Wild Turkey 101 - 25.99 (liter), spice is very good, very good mixed, great taste neat, hot finish, best budget whiskey imo.
• Elijah Craig - 35.99 May be my favorite. Unique flavor profile. %^$# good!




Didn't make the cut: Crown, Jameson, Ezra Brooks, Evan Williams Black, Makers Mark, TX, Redemption Rye, Forty Creek & Giant Texas.

You should give Evan Williams single barrel a try. Just looking at your list I think you will like it and the price is not bad at all.


Lets go fishing

I've stared at it 3-4 times and for whatever reason haven't picked it up yet...but I will. It's on my short list. My challenge is winding down but I did finish off the Jim Beam and had a slot to fill. Picked up a bottle of Old Overholt Bonded. Just a few sips so far but pretty impressed! 35.99/liter.

Bought my SIL that for Christmas at his request. As I remember it is distilled and bottled in Indiana!
