Wow my IPad sent my previous post on its own. Anyway Colonel Lee ... From Total Wine and is a Barton product. 8yrs old and very tasty. Me, being new to bourbon take that what it's worth. No real mention of this brand anywhere here.

Small-pour tastings of: WTR101, Ritt BiB, Baby Saz and Henry McKenna 10-year Loch & K(e)y selection, to compare my current open ryes.

Determination: WTR101 is still the punchiest, Ritt is a nice smooth sipper and I should pick up a few more bottles, Baby Saz has the deeper and more interesting flavors, and the Henry McKenna makes a nice non-rye "control whiskey" for this particular tasting. I should also buy some other ryes for more variety...

Started wish a fresh bottle of larceny. Great stuff, not as thick and chewy as OWA and a bit more fresh than Weller 12. A nice middle for me with tons of potential after it develops in the bottle. After that some single barrel JPS 18 then back to the larceny!

8 years old??? Sure about that? Colonel Lee was a Barton distilled product that faded away and appears to have recently been brought back by Sazerac since they bought Barton. It is a bottom shelfer and mostly distributed in 80 proof but The Sazerac web site also shows a 100 proof being distributed in 750ml. I don't know if the current 100 proof is being labelled as a bottled in bond as it used to be? If your bottle is stated as 8 years old I'm guessing you have a 100 proof and private retail bottling from Total Wine perhaps?

Sazerac also distributes Colonel Lee and Tom Moore as a blended "light" whiskey
