Absolutely right -- and I hope you find that we 'old-timers', while an opinionated bunch, have our own, distinctive tastes, and almost never universally agree about anything.
Enjoying...

I suspected you might not be in the U.S. (you can add your location to your forum profile -- see "User CP" -- but certainly don't have to), and had forgotten Gary's mention of its age in Canada....

Okay, I'll take a shot -- and hope that you can read past the next line without feeling it's pejorative (because, it's not!).
The reason I think you like Jim Beam standard white-label is because of...

True that, Squire -- and ain't it a grand thing:bowdown:? Especially since you CAN pay more and get even GRANDER!

Famous Grouse, the best-selling Scotch blended whisky in Scotland itself, is an excellent, always-handy drink, and a great price/value play in the 1.75L size domestically (at least, here in Tennesse,...

My household 'well' bourbon has become the Jim Beam-produced Old Crow Reserve (black label). It is 4yo and 86 proof, NOT to be confused with the execrable Old Crow white label, which is Beam's...

Old Crow, also, comes in two 'flavors' -- the standard white label, which is 3yo Jim Beam whiskey (and probably the worst thing they put in a bourbon bottle); and the 4yo/86-proof, black-label...

I know where there's at least a single bottle of Bernheim on a shelf within a reasonable drive (25 miles?). PM me if you don't find one.

Go see Bard Quillman at Red Dog Wine & Spirits, next to Publix. Or, if you'd like, I'll meet you there sometime and we can discuss 'things'. And/or, should you happen by Columbia-way, PM me and I can...

Well, that WAS the point of all this, now, wasn't it?:hot: And, Oscar, while truly, I don't begrudge you your pursuit and appreciation of such items -- because I know YOU will open, drink and share...

Yes. You won't find a current wheater in their league (and I think Buffalo Trace makes fine wheaters!). I've had examples near identical to each you note and, unless somehow 'turned', they will be...

Mike's absolutely correct, but incomplete.
Understand, even as rare and desireable as it is, this bottle won't make you rich. Personally, having had many very good WT12s, I wouldn't pay more than...

Here's something akin to what I did: buy and taste -- as Chuck advises, both neat and with water (avoid 'mixing' except for after-tasting pleasure) -- everything bourbon you can buy in 200ml bottles....

Hint: if you don't take him up on that offer, you don't REALLY belong here, despite that impressive list of bar-toppers! (Just trust me:pope:.)

We have welcomed Stu and Bernadette despite Stu's prior whisk(e)y prediliction!:lol:
And, he's absolutely right -- though most of us have an unabashed bourbon preference, almost all of us, too,...

Now, I'm pretty much known as an "open everything" member here. I don't buy/own/shelve ANY bottle I won't open.
But, this one might be an exception...
As Joe notes, Mississippi indeed WAS the last...

More than a few people deliberately store their liquor -- including bourbon/whiskey -- in their freezer at home. The only 'harm' it does is deadens the taste a bit while it remains cold. Back at room...

Granted, Brad, you are correct, and point noted. I DID, in fact, pause to ponder the generality before posting, but this one didn't come to mind, I guess, primarily because it was made and bottled as...

To answer your post title question in transposition, though: yes, all bourbon IS sour mash whiskey.

Enquiring minds want to know (well, okay, maybe just me!:rolleyes:): You don't happen to be related to Tracy Stallard, the purveyor of the pitch that became Roger Maris' 61st homer in 1961, huh?...

I've been waiting for Chuck to chime in here, because he can quote chapter and verse better than I, but -- while there are not federal regulations defining "Tennessee whiskey" (other than the...

My favorite remains the first, a rye:

I still have a couple of minis I poured from the end of my last bottle for...

I just went and poured it, because I could...and, because the bottle is shaped like an anchor, and everyone needs an anchor (especially if, like I am, you are going to face 2nd-graders in the...

You guys are embarrassing...:blush: (of course, I can still buy both off the shelf:grin: -- if'n I want to!)

I can live with that. But let me repeat, too, my chief point: once you've opened the bottle, it has no value. You can't return it for refund; you can't sell it. Granted, replacement cost becomes a...
