Perhaps a mistake. I will know later

For Father's Day, my daughter gave me a small bottle of Maker's Mark. For me that is not a mistake. I like it ok but Weller's better.

The mistake I am talking about is buying a bottle of Walker's Deluxe. 80 proof, no age statement, it says distilled by Hiram Walker & Sons Co. Bardstown, Kentucky. I don't know if this is any good or not. I just took a chance.

The other reason I bought it is because I am unsure about buying bourbon in a plastic bottle. I had thought about getting some Ancient Age but it was in plastic bottle. So was Old Forester.

It might be okay but in the Barton portfolio, Walker's Deluxe is actually a step down from Ten High, if that tells you anything.

Yikes, I didn't know that you could take a step down from Ten High.

What about plastic bottles? Are they just generally whiskey flavored vodka? I really don't drink a whole lot but I do want to drink better.

I found a bottle of it about a year ago, and it was good.

I recently found a true dusty Peoria distilled 8 year Walker's DeLuxe tax stripped half pint bottle at 86 proof and it contains delicious rich and "rummy" bourbon. The fill level was a little low but it didn't effect the bourbon. I've got 5 ounces left per the ounce indentations on the side of the bottle and am saving for others to taste.

I've only had one plastic bottled bourbon which was Old Charter 8 y/o. I could not tell any difference between it and a glass bottle of the same juice. That said I do like the 10 y/o better.
