You must be a hell of an uncle!My nephew in Atl sends me Stagg Jr and Weller. Both pretty darn good, and free.

A few years back I made the mistake of buying a bottle of the Knob Creek Maple. Same rationale, I like bourbon and I like maple. It was a drain pour. The only flavored bourbon that works is Fireball.Tried the Jack Daniels apple today. Hey, I like jack and I like apple. Horrendous! Tasted like concentrated apple syrup.
If you can find the Belle Meade Cask Strength for $60 or less, give it a shot. I haven't tried any of their finished products because I keep hearing they're too sweet and cloying. I would like to try the Belle Meade Honey, but only because of the hype.I looked at the Belle meades yesterday but I hadn’t heard of them. Will give one a try. The smooth ambler was decent, but at the price point I think Russell’s is a better pour.
If you hunt for it, you should be able to find some age stated Beam Black 8y/o. It is significantly better than the current stuffAgree. I typically don’t try anything in a sherry cask or the flavored stuff as it is typically way too sweet for me. A zillion boutique bourbons out there these days, but Beam Black is better than most of them ;)
I've yet to try 114, but I do like the OGD BiBOGD 114. Not bad at all for $30.
It's nice, I like it with a couple ice cubes. High proof and lots of rye. Thick mouthfeel too.I've yet to try 114, but I do like the OGD BiB
it could open up some in the bottle. give it some time.Anyone tried Rabbit Hole bourbon? I picked up a bottle a week or so ago. Heavy oak and spicy...at least to me.
You're comparing something that's 84pf to something that's 116pf and you want to compare "smoothness"?Finished off a bottle of Boulder Bourbon by Vapor Distillery last night. Cracked open a bottle of Wild Turkey Rare Breed after. I have to say... the difference was stark! BB is a fantastically smooth sipping bourbon in comparison. I’m a fan of WT RB but it has nothing on BB. Highly recommended (I would start with the “Colorado” version then try some of the others).
