Favorite Current Bourbon Under 90 proof

[aea6574]

Another vote for the Four Roses yellow label. I do have a bottle of AAA I picked up in Kentucky last year but have not opened it as of yet.

Best regards, Tony

I'll probably catch some heat for this, but Jim Beam Black.

I like JBB, too. OGD 86 isn't terrible, either.

AAA, if you can get it.

I'll second that ... AAA. Also, forgot to include Four Roses Yellow Label

If we can select bourbons that are 90:

Elmer T. Lee
Ezra Brooks 90pf

Lower than 90:
Heaven Hill white label 80pf
Cabin Still

Rye lower than 90:
Pikesville
Old Overholt

Other American whiskies lower than 90:
Michter's American
Platte Valley (McCormick) Corn Whiskey

Agree on both - nothing wrong with something straightforward and tasty, even if a bit of a one-note song, now and then.

At under 90 proof I guess I would have to go with Evan Williams SB. Tough question though as I honestly prefer the higher proof bourbons.

I forgot about VOB 86! Just don't let it sit around for a while opened, as the bottle I have has developed a stout banana taste/aroma. 6+ months? I'll just wait and see if it dissipates.....

Ditto for me. some 90 proofers don't even do it for me.

Uh, cognac or armagnac, definitely not any bourbon I know.

I rarely drink anything lower than 90 proof. Like most of you, I prefer the higher proof stuff. OGD, EWSB and EWB are really the only bourbons I drink that are under 90 proof.... and I really never drink OGD 86, unless someone gives it to me.

I have to say.... I can't fathom the love for FR yellow label. I think it is one of the most bland, boring, "nothing" bourbons on the market.... but, that's just my opinion.
