Agreed. That and Weller 90 (essentially the wheated version of BT). Pretty much swap between the two for daily sippers and to preserve the rest of my higher end stuff.
Special bourbon night

Two of my faves. Also had Willett for the first time. Got it for a tasting due to the unique bottle and the fact I hadn't had it.
It won the tasting. Blade & Bow was nice as well.
I don't always drink Bourbon, but when I do I chose Four Roses, in honor of my great-great-great uncle who founded the company.
Great post. I totally get what you're talking about. But that's what's so awesome about bourbon, there's a flavor out there for everyone.
I always end up going back to Blanton's, it's so smooth, I had someone on here tell me it was overpriced, well, that's your opinion SIR.
Everyone has different tastes. I really hope I like Weller when I find it. If it's good I'll pay the money.
I've found out that I will GLADLY pay $65.00 per small glass of 23 year Pappy and ask for another before I even take the first sip (that stuff is incredible).
Anyone reading my posts might think I'm an alcoholic, but I only partake on Friday nights and only if I have nothing going on the next day.
Four Roses single is absolutely delicious. One of my favorites and my #1 under 50 bucks.
I'm a 100' bottled in bond guy. Will go with Evan Williams White label tonight as I'm superstitious. We've been winning since I started with it. Bourbon and water. Mix each drink 9 times for good karma. Same glass. Have some McKenna 10 yr and OGD bonded on the bench. Same chair same tv shirt jeans socks shoes St Jude medal same used U.K. Tickets . Nutty. Anxiety ridden. Love the regular season and the SEC Tourney but hate these games. I pace. Two different hats to wear when one lets up.
I too love some Evan Williams. It's the right price and does the job. I've been drinking on that today and will continue through the game. There's way too much time left until tip.
Best thread I've seen on RR in a while. Love the different bourbon's mentioned. I'm not a Pappy guy. I don't like the high wheat mash bill I prefer a higher rye mash bill
Got some knob creek rye that is really good and not very expensive at all. I take it if I'm going camping with a bunch of people or a big event where non bourbon people want to try my bourbon out of curiosity.
I live in Owensboro. That may have a lot to do with the waiting period. Might be easier to get somewhere like Lexington
I'm having a WT Kentucky Spirit single barrel. I looked at the my shelf and saw "Kentucky Spirit" and knew what I needed to do.
If you mean Old Pogue, you can get it online at a couple of places. Try winesearcher.com and see what you can find.
Just the 1792 standard release? Pretty smooth, but their Sweet Wheat release was one of my favorites!
I was at the inaugural toast at the Talbott Tavern a few years ago.And my cousin and uncle both work at Barton.
I sip it all straight. No ice, no water. In fact, I spend most of my time just enjoying the nose before sipping it slowly. Love this juice. Love my home state!
Okay, now I'm in a quandry, I changed my mind and went Willett instead of Blanton's tonight. I don't drink on Sunday's, but maybe I need to have a sip on Sunday to keep the good mojo working.
I think we all saw what my "3 SEC teams in the elite 8" thread did for us. I don't want to mess with this. LOL.

The cheapest version of weller is out in Louisville but may be gone soon. It's the special reserve and is $24. The 107 proof is gone and anything older than that is now a special release unfortunately. If you live near here, you can message me and I wouldn't mind trying to find you a cheep bottle (special reserve).
Shit, you're feeling about as good as I am right now than.
It's spread over a good amount of time.. but also had a few Lake Placid Ubu's in there also..
Pretty lit.. I really haven't even touched the forums yet. What an amazing game. Fox and Monk just killed it. Fox took exception to the Ball talk and worked UCLA.. our defense was unreal.
Pouring another..

Four roses, even the basic yellow, as well as the single barrel to me can match virtually any bourbon I have tried, for straight up sipping. It's a great value for the price.
