What is on your list of bad bourbon?

[squire]

Yes, those are the entry level brands but still a step up from the blended stuff.

Of course that ET was being sampled by palates seasoned with good old Ten High.

Very true, Squire!

A coworker of mine brought in a dusty bottle she found at an estate sale thinking because it was old it should be good. It was grocery-store labeled bourbon (or was it labeled "whiskey"?... ). Anyway, MacGrouder's from what seemed to be the 60's. The sad thing was that the alcohol content wasn't high enough to be used as an effective engine degreaser, so it had a date with the drain.

I also agree on the local/craft whiskers, though they don't rise to that level of offensiveness. George Washington's gristmill Rye was up there, but that's OT because it was rye white dog... IMO commentators should really start extolling the virtues of these micro distilled whiskeys, though. That way the dumb money can chase after those atrocities until such time comes as they have a respectably aged product to sell!

There is actually some "dumb money" out there to be made if you don't care about repeat business.
