I am wanting advice on buying a readily available and reasonably priced wheat bourbon.
Thirty some years ago when I was first able to afford to drink nicer whiskey, I was a Maker’s fan. After a bit, I thought Woodford was the one. Then when I found I liked Four Roses even better especially the Single Barrel, I finally realized that I liked high rye bourbon. Along the way I tried Bulleit and Basil. Right now I will usually go with a straight Rye like Willett, RRSB, or Pikesville.
Obviously Pappy is considered the king of wheaters with Weller the prince. But neither is easily got much less reasonably priced. Liquor store guy pushed Bernheim or Larceny but I wasn’t sure so I bought neither.
Advice?
