Any of the other HH offerings other than the 6yr.BIB and the Black and Gold label BIB.I feel I might be missing out on some decent value pours such as the Green label 90 proofer,who knows?

i snuck a green HH 90 in on a blind tasting earlier this year. many of my friends are long time bourbon lovers, and many of them put this one in the top 2.

i like em stronger than that, but when my local pharmacy was d/cing it and i could get handles of it for $9 with a $3 rebate, i bought one for when those guys come over.

the good thing about liking strong whiskies is that your friends leave them alone....

I wouldn't say I'm an Ezra fan so much as I'm an HH fan. I don't expect much of Ezra so I'm never disappointed but sometimes I'm very agreeably pleased.

I love the Ezra 7/101. Alas I can't find it around these parts anymore.

i wanted to love it, but i was just indifferent. at its price, others will take precedent

id have to say i put OWA 107 on the list of stuff ive wanted to try but havent. i always want to try it when i see the 107 proof label, but i pass by it thinking "wheater". one day i may see it at a bar and get a shot and then decide.

a couple weeks ago id have said OWA and FC103. i finally got myself to try the FC103 though, and have been glad i did. nice taste and feels hotter than 103 proof.

Any Jim Beam product. It's never caught my attention. Devil's Cut has me intrigued though.

How about an OWA/FC103 'baby blend of mashbills'?

Go for Knob Creek, Baker's, Booker's, and Jim Beam Black before Devil's Cut.

And don't neglect Old Grand Dad

+2 on that. KC, Baker's, Bookers and OGD 114 are all first rate IMHO. Agree that Devil's Cut is awful.

Ah, thanks for the advice. I may have to pick up the OGD 114 next time I see it.

I'd definitely grab one of those! And you can find the KC, Bakers, Bookers in 50 mL. I like KC and Bookers well enough to own . . . 1 50 mL bottle of each :lol:

I'm most ashamed I've never tried ... the SB Blend.

Bourbon selection in Canada ain't what is should be. Ontario received a big allotment of Weller 12 last year, but OWA has never been seen here. The W12 is all gone from LCBO shelves, but I managed to bunker a few bottles. Next trip to the US I'm going to bring back some OWA so I can see what all the fuss is about.

Also never tried the SB blend, Finally got some Weller 12, but the only bottle of antique that I have is a single barrel select so wondering if I ought to grab an off the shelf standard bottle for the experiment.

I have about 70 bottles of bourbon,and have cracked open about a dozen. I usually feel guilty when i buy a bunker bottle without even having tried the whiskey... Did this just last night when i bought a second bottle of Rare Breed. got home and immediately had a pour to make sure I was happy with the decision.

+1 on that.

Devil's Cut is, well, awful.

Didn't you read the article? Devil's cut is one of the top ten bourbons to try before you die.:lol:

If I'm about to die rushing around after Bourbon isn't on my list.

If I knew it was coming, drinking through the best of my bunker would be the order of the day :)

There are a several common pours that I haven't tried. However, I can't say that I am ashamed. I don't believe that I have ever had any Jim Beam labels. I have had other Beam products but no Jim Beam labels. I have never had Booker's. There are also higher end bourbons that I haven't tried but I either can't find them or can't afford them.

As was said up thread, can't try what you can't find in your area. Not "ashamed", but would like to try a EW White Label or a FC103. Recently found an Old Heaven Hill 8 yo that I'm looking forward to trying -

to me, EWW tastes nearly identical to HH white 6 year BIB.

the FC103 is worth trying. i resisted for quite a while, thinking it would taste like all the other 100ish proof HH stuff. its similar, but, to me at least, has less of the HH house taste and feels a bit hotter than 103 proof. I plan to buy it again.
