My friend went to The Ville this past week and brought back some Wellers and Blade and Bow. I really liked the Blade and Bow. I’ll add B&B to the repertoire, the Wellers, no.

The Wellers had a very weak nose and a rough finish. Thought it tasted like **** to be honest.

You no like the Wellers? Do you know what type of Wellers it is? I have the 12 year SR and think it's fantastic, although wheated bourbons can take some time to get used to. Always good to try new **** though. It's really the only thing Kentucky has going on.

“Bourbon needs to be produced in America and made from 51 percent corn, and whiskey does not,” says Maker’s Mark Master Distiller Greg Davis. Bourbon also needs to be stored in new charred-oak barrels, whereas whiskey barrels do need to be oak but not new or charred. “Lastly, to be called bourbon, the liquid needs to be distilled to no more than 160 proof and entered into the barrel at 125.” For other whiskies the liquid must be distilled to no more than 190 proof. David notes that this isn’t just common practice — “it’s actual bourbon law.”

The limit is all Comrade Trump's fault.

It’s all these stupid fvcking hipsters with their dumb *** mustaches thinking they’re in some turn of the century saloon. Go back to making your ****** beer and stop fvcking up good bourbon with simple syrup and orange peels you jackholes.

Something I’ve enjoyed peacefully for 20 years without it being Trendy and these little shitholes come along and **** it up. No, I don’t want to try your craft distillery from Maine, cool guy name, **** that smells like bad corn liquor that wobbles the drunk at the local Little general tries to sell me. Go wreck your unicycle **** Head, I hope you catch your handlebar mustache in an old timey fan.

It’s come to me literally begging my friends in The Ville to send me a bottle of Blantons because all of these trendy little cocksuckers have decided they want to be bourbon Cool. I’m going to start drinking Tequilla. Little bitches won’t be able to handle that.

Am I the only one who lacks the ability to distinguish between mid grade and top shelf bourbons, wines, or beers? I can taste junk. After that, all can't tell.

Probably. Sorry about your luck.

It's a good thing to not have an expensive bourbon habit. I think some of the pricier bourbons are about marketing and being able to say you've had it. $25 bottle of Buffalo Trace is as good as it gets, imo, but I do like higher end stuff on occasion.

I don’t distinguish by price. And I certainly wouldn’t claim to have an “educated pallet”. My likes have been established through 2 decades of trial and error. Just so happens that Blantons is my brand and has been for 10+ years.

There is some good lower dollar stuff out there like Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare. You can never go wrong with Makers.

I personally lean to towards the loader ABVs (44-47%). It’s a smoother draw.

I recently got on a kick of Geotge Dickel No. 12. Runs in the mid to high $20 range, but it's smoother than a lot of more expensive stuff.

Blantons is great. That's usually a special occasion purchase for me though.

Anpther that I thought was surprisingly good was Evan Williams Single Barrel. I didn't expect much from it, but it works as a sipper. Not a world beater, but good.

I used to be big on Elijiah Craig. I used to be able to find their 18 year for $50. Now you can't get it because of the hipsters.

Another good one is 10 year Bullitt. That one hasn't been discovered by the hipsters yet.

I can smash some Bulleit Rye. I agree on EW Single Barrel, but I'll bite my tongue on your nonsense about George Dickel. To each their own, I guess.

My taste may be odd to some. I really don't care for Woodford Reserve much, and I get some strange looks from folks over that one.

 

[mule_eer]

Are you saying that you don't care fir that one or that the hipsters have taken it over?
