    Re: Bourbon Making Advice

    What do you prefer?
    Delicious bourbon at a cheap price.

    Does price dictate quality?
    Not necessarily, but the age of the spirit weighs on the price.

    What makes that bourbon special? (Is it...

    I know I frequent this site too much when I read your subject line as, "Hello from Stitzel-Weller Pennsylvania"

    Sticky: Re: How To Get Started.

    I wouldn't call Knob a "low proof" bourbon. When I hear that term, I think of 80 proof budget bourbon. If you like the Knob Creek, try the Single Barrel expression of it -- IMO it's quite an...

    Re: BOTM: 3/11 Old Fitzgerald BIB

    My feeling about the current OF BIB: When I first got into bourbon, I found some of this stuff for $12 in a local liquor store and thought it would be worth it. And, for the price, I thought it was...

    Yeah, I've been afraid to pick up any of the lower proof Weller because this is what I was afraid of...

    Re: Low alcohol bourbon

    This doctor of yours is clearly a quack and should have his or her medical license reviewed. ;)

    I sort of wonder if you could water down your whiskey and then try to re-introduce flavor into it...

    Re: Breathing and open Bottles

    Agreed. When I open a new bottle, again, especially with the wheaters and/or the higher proof expressions, there's a whiff that almost smells like "pure" alcohol of some sort -- almost like rubbing...

    Re: Weller 12 v. OWA 10/107

    I'm of the school of thought that says that if you've got an untrained palate, to stick with an apples-to-apples comparison with the proofs of the whiskeys if you're interested in really learning...

    Re: Weller 12 v. OWA 10/107

    Well, when I last saw the handle a couple of months ago, they were still using the old label -- I never saw the new OWA label on a 1.75... There is a small chance, though, that those might have been...

    Re: Weller 12 v. OWA 10/107

    The Weller 12 and the OWA 10/107 are both very nice indeed and I partake of them both liberally and regularly.

    To be honest, I think they're both comparable in quality -- the 12 being "smoother",...

    Re: Where to go next?

    IMO you should start off with other wheat recipe bourbons, because that's what Maker's is. My personal opinion on the matter is that wheated bourbons are better and more interesting at somewhat...

    Sticky: Re: How To Get Started.

    I completely agree here. I started my friends off on this -- we did a bit of a comparison between wheat and rye bourbon, and it was really fun and educational. I used some markedly different...
