I really don't think that is the case.

That would probably be me...for dusties, at least. Sorry.

Welcome aboard. Hope to see Y'all around town sometime soon.

They have instruments that gauge that sort of thing.

Proof is determined by alcohol per volume represented in a percentage.

So, if you have a bottle that is 50% alcohol...then it is 100 proof. 40% alcohol is 80 proof.

Beam has two different distilleries producing their ryed distillate. Even if they tried to....they would have a hardtime producing the same tasting juice from both distilleries. It just isn't that...

I don't find that Oak by itself adds enough flavor to the smoke. The Pecan and Oak pair are probably my most usual smoking woods.

BBQing rocks!

Welcome to the board, Jon.

What kind of wood do y'all use to smoke with? BBQ is real big in Texas. I prefer a mix of Pecan, Hickory, Oak and a touch of Mesquite.

Hope to see you posting...

Timothy is correct in his statement regarding barrels of bourbon in Ky do vary in their proof change. Some go up...some go down. The ratio is directly in perportion to where the barrel spends it's...

I am just getting around to some of these threads.

Welcome to the site. We definitely have lots of opinions here. Our common thread is our love of Ky whisky.

Best of luck with y'alls new...

If I am guessing correctly...it probably says Olde Bourbon and is a Dant product. If there is a tax strip...buy a bottle. It is better than you will expect.

And don't let this group of roudys...

Welcome to the site. NC is a beautiful state.

Can't say I am a big fan of your choices. The only one I would probably purchase would be the ETL. The other can be improved upon in my book. ...

I would fear that, if I lived that close to bourbon country...the distillers would all be sick of seeing me at their doors everyday.

Welcome!

You are right...those old posts and threads are fascinating and full of great info. Living in Louisville keeps you close to all the action...that's for sure. Do you go on distillery...

You got me on that one. I have only found it onetime. I doubt HH changes too much...since they already have so many labels. I would say they probably have one in every even year...4, 6, 8, 10 for...

I don't think anyone will argue that the 10yr is better than the 6mix.

What I am saying is that your taste will change...and if they don't...maybe one of your friends will enjoy it more than you...

Hold on to that bottle. Let it sit on your bar for a few months...and then try it again. I imagine that your opinion might change by that time.

In the meantime...find yourself a few of HH's...

Well, we had a great visit out to Hye on Friday. I will post some pics, soon.

Greg, I noticed that some time back. That is why I don't ever miss one of your posts or threads. There are quite a few others, here that I respect immensly, when it comes to tasting and bourbon...

While, I agree that one should show some restraint when purchasing dusties....I also, believe that, if you have not ever found a dusty....don't be too picky. Buy the first one you see, if it is...

I agree. They are also overpriced unless on weekend special.

Tim, the Virgin you had was probably made at Meadowlawn...the current version is a HH distillate. For $12 a 750ml, it is hard to beat. I won't say that it is some of HH finer juice, but...

The trip to the distillery is shaping up to be this Friday around noon. I will be getting in touch with Dan tomorrow and schedule things out. If anyone is interested in going...give a shout and...

I have really liked my older bottles of Old Weller Antique. The newer versions seem to be more muted than past bottles. Each new one I try seems a little farther away from the SW profile. I would...

From what I know, the ratio of majority grain should only be referred back to another mashbill from the same distillery. So, BT has a high and low rye masher. Barton has a high and low rye masher. BT...

I know y'all are concentrating on mashbills...but I don't believe that the mashbill is as important as maybe your mind is telling you. Mashbill is just one part of a large group of factors that make...
