BOURBON TALK

Clyde mays is a great take on a different style of bourbon. I'm not to into the flavored bourbons (honey maple etc) but this recipe has hints of Apple to it. Very very good
No bite, underwhelming.
I have been searching for Old Weller Antique and Weller 12 yo forever where I live. I can barely find Buffalo now. I like Makers Mark so I have been wanting to try Wellers.

If you like Wheated Bourbon, try Bernheims......one of my go-to "neat" indulgences!
I love bourbon 
But I'm way too cheap to try and locate some Pappy. My top 4 are currently in order:
1. Bulleit
2. Buffalo Trace
3. 1792
4. Elijah Craig
I've tried a bunch but there are so many more out there. I didn't care for Woodford Reserve or Makers Mark but found them drinkable if need be. I did find some Evan Williams Single Barrel I believe 2010 or 2012 that I really enjoyed but the vintage years have since changed and this last batch I did not care for at all. Knob Creek was just OK. Couldn't stand Jefferson Reserve either and found Blanton's to have a bit too much of a whisky taste vs bourbon sweetness that I enjoy. Four Roses seems too watered down for me too.
I limit my bourbon to under $30 so further choices are limited. Like I said, I'm cheap.

I have never heard of that one and it's not on the online listing of Wheated Bourbons. Can you tell me a bit more about it? Who makes it and where is it available?
Nothing wrong with being frugal brother, but if you losen up, just a bit, to say $40 and under, you'll open the door to many, many other choices.I love bourbon

That's a fantastic bourbon. I've had a bottle for about a year now. Gotta be in the mood to kind of pay attention to it. It's not the smoothest, but the flavors are awesome.
My bourbon for tonight. Really like it but the cost is just enough to make it more of a special occasion drink than an everyday drink for me.
I feel like once my ice cube melts just a little it helps smooth it out without being too watered down. Considering the alcohol content, I think it's really good. The alcohol is not overpowering. (Unless you drink too much of course)

Dear god........
We should get a group of Brothers together and go there and drink the place dry!
Dude I am not even slightly exaggerating ...not even hyping it up when I tell you that is 1 of 3 walls. The only one with enough light on it that I could get a pic of. The other two walls are stocked just as fully and they use those old librarian/law office rolling ladders to access the bottles.
I also found out that you can smoke upstairs. In finding out that info I caught to guys about to light cedar wrapped sticks ala young Jeezy. I stopped them instead of taking the pic lol.
Won't happen. Wayyyyyyy too large of a selection and several rare and HTFs in each category AND a whole section of SMWS bottles (150 I think she said) that unless one of us is a millionaire ......Im not far off but not yet lol. Even last night I started getting into $40/$50 an oz scotches
What the Hell man, we can give it a try!!! We'll just run a tab.
Lol oh I'm all for trying we will lose that's all. And Therin lies the win.
