    Sticky: Re: BOTM 6/13: Wild Turkey Rye 101

    I have two bunkered, and left the last couple I saw on the shelf. Around here it seems we always got hosed on the price; at just under $30. It tastes drier than the LDI juice, and younger than...

    Sticky: Re: BOTM 5/13: Wathen's

    I thought the Wathen's was pretty decent bourbon. I just find that in it's price range ($30+ around here) there are many good bourbons or ryes nowadays.

    I haven't had any Wathen's lately. The other bourbon that I've tried that sort of reminded me of Wathen's was the 2009 OF Birthday bourbon. The birthday bourbon was a little drier, but had a lot of...

    I like this as much or more than Bulleit Rye, and it's $5 less. I've noticed that Willett, Bulleit, and now Dickel put Lawrenceburg, IN on the label of the ryes. No smoke, no mirrors, no monkey...

    Sticky: Re: Botm 1/13: Old Forester Signature

    It may be interesting to note, they changed the label recently. I can see both the old, and new labels on shelves at the same time. I don't believe the whiskey has changed. OF Signature is one of...

    Re: How to get a clean pour?

    Some bottles are a lot harder to pour from than others. If you go with a speed pourer, I would put the regular cap on it when you're done serving guests.

    Re: New member that's new to Bourbon.

    Trying pours at a well stocked bar is a good way to decide if you like something. My simple rule is anything 86+ proof with an age statement is worth trying. Anything bottled in bond is...

    Re: I need help to identify whiskey / bourbon

    Pav, The tax stamp on the top of the bottle dates it to before the early 1980s. Ancient Age is still around. Here in Indiana I can only find the 80 proof 4 year old. I think some states can get a...

    Welcome Ben. It's nice to have another member from the Indy area. I think it's great that you're into single barrel selections.

    Re: New from Australia

    Does Australia get Old Forester, or any version Weller? I'm suggesting those, as I see you enjoy many of my other favorites. I have Ritt BIB, and Saz in the front of my cabinet :grin:

    Re: Probie from the Garden State

    I'll second the if you like Makers Mark, try Weller. If you can't find it in NJ, they have it in NY.
  20. Re: Another long-time listener, first-time caller

    Try anything that says "bottled in bond". Anything over 80 proof, or with an age statement is worth a try. After you have tried some stuff from several distilleries, you'll know what you prefer.

    If you like OGD 114, you may like Rittenhouse Rye. I prefer Wild Turkey Rye compared to RR. I like Sazerac quite a bit.
