    Re: Hi from Grand Rapids MI

    I guess I've been kind of lax in welcoming new members. I rarely look at this particular forum, but that is no excuse.

    Sticky: Re: BOTM 8/12: Eagle Rare 10 Year 101 Proof

    I wish I could try it. I really like the current 90 proof version. I can only imagine how good the 101 proof is.

    Re: Hello from Chapel Hill

    Scotch is too expensive, I'll give you that. But, why "all in" on one type of whisk(e)y? I'm a Scotch first guy, but I love ALL whisk(e)y. Bourbon is great, no doubt, but it isn't the end all, be all...

    Re: The infamous search for Pappy Van Winkle

    This Pappy crap is waaayyyy out of hand. There is no whisk(e)y worth the snide comments and derisive behaviour that this shit brings out in people. Pappy is the last whiskey I would ever waste time...

    Re: BOTM 5/11: Four Roses Yellow Label

    I seem to be in the minority, but I just don't like the yellow label at all. Single barrel and small batch are great.

    Re: I just dumped a bottle of EC12 down the drain

    I'm on record as being a big fan of EC12. I can attest to the fact that it is a variable bourbon from bottle to bottle. I've had great bottles that I wish would never go dry, and bottles that made me...

    Re: Top Shelf Chick

    I really like DBS. I really dislike paying twice the cost for a whisky that "should" be 100 proof. It has a great quality to it, but it would be a lot better at a higher proof. Therfore, I don't find...

    Re: Top Shelf Chick

    There is no comparison between Devil's Cut and Dickel 12. Dickel 12 is a very good Tennessee whisky.... especially for the price. Devil's Cut, while not bad (IMO), is not remotely close to the...

    Re: Newbie from TN

    Try adding a little water or keep on using ice, for a while. There is no right or wrong way to drink bourbon (or any other whisk(e)y). It took me a little while to get "acclimated" to drinking...

    Welcome aboard. I'm a single malt scotch lover that turned to bourbon a few years ago, mostly because of the cost. I'm glad I did. I have come to really love and appreciate our native spirit; so much...

    Re: BOTM: 11/11 Old Ezra 101

    This is one of my favorite "budget" Bourbons. I always have a bottle of this on hand.

    It's a bit on the sweet side, but I like that. The 101 proof is a big plus over the 90 proof expression, IMO....

    Now that I've finished a second bottle, I'll say this...I like KCSBR. I don't think it's a big leap better than the regular offering. I like that it's 120 proof and I think it does have a bit more...

    I like the standard KC quite well. I like the SBR even better. No, it isn't a spectacular bourbon, but it is very good bourbon that I enjoy frequently.

    Re: BOTM 7/11: Maker's 46

    I'm not a big fan of regular MM, but I have to say that I really like the 46. For some reason, it reminds me of MaCallan 12.

    My only real gripe with it is that it should be 100 proof.

    I agree with your whole post... and especially the highlighted part. If I had tried the Yellow Label first, I don't think I would have spent more to try any of the others.

    Ok, now that Ohio has this on the shelves, I picked up a bottle today.
