Maybe consider a lower-proof bourbon-based liqueur, like Firefly Sweet Tea or Prichard's Sweet Lucy?

Forgot to add: Wild Turkey American Honey and Buffalo Trace Cream Liqueur...

For me, starting at the bottom worked pretty well so far (I'm still on the journey). I didn't spend a tom of time there and I had enough experience with other liquors that I knew I wasn't going to...

A couple others not yet mentioned that I like quite a bit:

- Elijah Craig 12. Some have reported inconsistencies between bottles, but I haven't had one that wasn't good. Probably in the low...

Thanks, but I'll run my own risks and deal with my own consequences if it's all the same to you.

Wow, the bourbon_n00b actually has some newish info! I am not that much of a "road warrior" so shipping in is pretty much my only hope for a lot of things not on shelves here. Just haven't found...

Shoppers Vineyard, Witty's Wine, Internet Wines have shipped to me. Others may exist as well.

I really doubt this is some sort of new revelation...no?

Hmmm...contrary to my experience, but whatever. I guess VOB BiB ain't for me.

I guess, from lack of response, that this is the case? Nobody has an online source for the VOB BiB?

Rochester.

So pretty much no real way, outside of a road trip, for me to buy any BIB?

Sorry bout that, just carelessness with a touch of laziness more than anything else. I'm in Michigan, same as you.

As far as I know, only the 90 proofer is available here.

Anyone know of a mailorder source for this? Can't seem to find it anywhere, brick and mortar or online...

I haven't had a few of these, but ranking the ones I have tried:

1. Wild Turkey 101
2. Elijah Craig 12
3. Old Weller Antique
4. Old Grand Dad BIB
5. Evan Williams Single Barrel

I am much...

Cool stuff! :toast:

That makes sense. Thanks Gary!

Thanks guys for the info, but I guess I am still confused about why a 101, 107, 114, 125 proof whiskey could not be labeled bonded (assuming it meets all the other characteristics). It's acceptable...

Hi:

From what I understand, to be bottled in bond, a whiskey has to be aged a minimum of 4 years (can be longer) but has to be exactly 100 proof (cannot be higher).

Just curious as to why...

Over the weekend, I got my hands on the WT and Old Ezra. To my inexperienced palate, the WT is much better. Just a lot more going on, much smoother and more flavorful.

The OE is decent but the...

Well, it looks like my instinct to usually favor the smaller and lesser-known over the the more major players was off-base here. I will still probably give one of these a try sometime but I will get...

Turkey 101 is right in that same range, IIRC.

All are available in my area, in the $15-20 range. Excuse me if I have overlooked, but I don't see much discussion of these here. Which is the one to grab, if you are grabbing only one? Comments...
