Ancient Age Straight Kentucky Bourbon 90 Proof

[BourbonGuy]

Never seen before in NY. Price $18.31. Worth picking up?

That seems a little high for a 750ml. It's decent bourbon, but sort of young and uncomplicated, nothing wrong with it. It's BT mashbill #2.

price seems high, compare to eagle rare, if that is on the shelf. think young (maybe 4 yo?) compared to 10 yo.(different mash), also compare to benchmark.

The short answer is yes. For your location that price seems fair to me.

OK, purchased a bottle. At $18.31 I figure I can't lose.

Tell us what you think. I get it in my area for about $17 for a 1.75 handle.

It's 80 proof and I actually like it. It's an easy drinking bourbon, not too complex, but very tasty, with a nice hit of cinnamon on the finish.

the ancient ancient "AAA" was a fav for few circles of buds before it became 10 star. ancient age is a great solid drink, good neat or one you can enjoy mixed.

There are several different versions of Ancient Age.

It is that and equal or better quality than Scottish malts costing 2-3 times more. Screw perceptions, what's in the glass is what counts.
