SB Blend

MM (love a MM & Sprite in the summer)

 

Wait... it was "American Whiskey" not bourbon so... THH has GOT to be in there... Easily drops MM to #6.

Hi Saul, curious on the JD SBBP -- do you add any water at all to that guy?   I did last time, and it was late into the evening (I sorta have to warm up that bottle) -- and I think I thought it did some magic for it.   ...Not often I see it mentioned so curious about your experience with it.

I'm on my first bottle and have only tried neat so far. Am curious to see what a little water will do. So far it is very very good plus is a widely available which is rare for a generally reasonably priced single barrel at barrel proof.

I'm totally with you, but I think THH is definitely a limited / hard to find / not available item & doesn't qualify for "the list"

 

Was glad to see you put MM in there.  I like it as well, but I was starting to think I was the only person who likes it.  :)

MM will always have a spot on my bar. It  was my gateway bourbon into the "premium" sector and as of yet, the only one I buy in "family size". Bourbon neat is not my preference in the summer sitting out by the pool, those days call for a MM and Sprite or a Kamikaze. :D

OK, I will be the first to change my list...(I think)
Returning:
Four Roses Single Barrel
Buffalo Trace
Jefferson's Reserve
 
NEW:
Evan Williams BIB
Wild Turkey Rare Breed


Is been a while so I'll update my list

Smooth Ambler Old Scout Single Barrel
JW Dant BIB
Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Knob Creek Single Barrel
Rendezvous Rye

My last bottle of 4RSB was a disappointment, and the SAOS stuff is nicer IMO, especially the BP. I could have put SAOS7, and SAOS7 rye on the list and been happy.

I like the Dant slightly better than HH6, but either will do. They taste similar to larceny to me too. EWBIB too.
