The charcoal filtering calms down the over-the-top mint notes that sometimes are predominant in LDI rye. The price makes in an incredible value. And you gotta love the old-timely labeling.

Young, hot, and cheap. Great characteristics for some things in life but not, IMO, bourbon. The 101 proof makes it a relatively efficient alcohol-delivery system.

IMO, this whole "proper glass" thing is a lotta fashion over form. I would bet that 90%+ of the people on this site (most of which are more sophisticated than the average drinker... I think),...

Used to be a good pour but, alas, in recent years it seems to have gotten younger, thin, and lacking complexity. IMO, no longer worth the money.

Now some dusties, on the other hand....

The single barrel is a delightful bourbon: delicate and nuanced. Well-integrated from nose to finish. Classic bourbon notes of vanilla, caramel, and dark fruit. Wish I would have bunkered a few when...

Fine for mixing... not so much for drinking by itself.

that's what Wes Henderson said a few months ago. Several folks here have sampled the BS version. I think it will happen... But the date may slip somewhat (depending on your location)

They're supposed to be coming out with a barrel-strength version by year end.

I like it but I really like the fact that my wife loves it. Because of AE, she's stopped drinking my Lot B! ;)

Great premise... but, alas, much ado about not so much.

Better than the regular KC --- but only.

It's better than the regular MM... for what that's worth.

I wonder how this is selling now that the hoopla of the original roll-out is over?

I asked a couple of local bartenders ---- they...

IMO, the current version is just (sigh) "OK". After tastng and loving the recent PHC release, I have to ask again: why doesn't HH release a wheater worthy of the OF brand?

Or won't. When I asked Craig Beam (at a tasting a while back) about HH doing more / better with their wheaters --- all I got in response was an indifferent shrug of the shoulders.

One of the reliable classics! Regardless of origin, a great. always-satisfying wheater. I've got a bunch bunkered. It's one of my reliable, "go-to" pours. Just the right amount of age and proof to...

I agree: a good bourbon and a good value. Certainly one of the better HH offerings

Always been a good (if not great) pour for me. Seems like I'm seeing it more often in high-end bars and restaurants where it is a welcome change from the usual suspects.

I'm not much of a rye drinker but I do love this for the value it represents...

Cheap yet drinkable. Great for mixing as well.

Happy B-day!:icon_pidu:

I agree... simply one of the best bourbons I have ever tasted. Great depth and maturity without too much char and oak.

Makes me excited for the 2010 Mariage.

I'd echo the comments from Joe and others about Ezra B 12 Year Old Single Barrel. Wonderfully rich and complex.

Weller 12 has been generally unavailable in No. KY for most of the past year. Because of a shortage of aged stock, production was temporarily halted. A limited release was done a couple of months ago...

One of my favorites (particularly since the demise of Centennial). A great pour and a great value.

I hope BT can get the shortages behind them and get production and demand in sync.

All I can add to Joe's description (and praise) is to note its "subtle dry finish".

All your choices are good ones... although I'd put JBB way at the end of the list. OGD 114 is an excellent pour and a great value to boot; particularly if you like the spiciness of rye. I personally...
