Has this stuff gotten any better? I got a bottle for Christmas and am seriously thinking of trading it in. The first two bottles that I had of this were gifts, and thank God they were as I thought this stuff was awful. Wouldn’t pay good money for it. Thoughts anyone? And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
 
Yes, my thoughts exactly! I tried it several times, just not a fan at all.

Mixing it with anything doesn’t help. A lot of people like it in old fashions.

I gave a bottle I got to a family member who likes it. Hope you found something else this year you can enjoy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Thanks for the reply. I do appreciate it.

Not a whiskey snob. I like Makers Mark, lol.

As far as Four Roses is concerned I don't really like any of their main blends. The regular small batch is woody. The select is sweet and better balanced but I still don't like it. Seems to be a cocktail favorite though. Kinda expensive for a mixer, however.

Their single barrel isn't too bad.
 
Elijah Craig 18-year Single Barrel is my favorite, whenever I am drinking bourbon.
However, Jameson is my primary drink of choice.

Got a bottle a couple of months ago and it was great. Maybe a few bad barrels hit the market, who knows.
 
A friend received a BlackBerry Crown Royal for Christmas, Had not seen it out anywhere.

Heard Noah Mill is good, not had any yet.

I went to Four Roses this year tried a few, all tasted, hot, burnt to me. After taste was awful.

Would like to try something different to make an old fashioned or manhattan, any recs???
