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

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