Making mistakes is one of the few talents I possess! Meant Basil Hayden's. No argument here about Bakers. only wonder when they're going to start naming batches like Bookers. Probably name each batch after each Catholic family that migrated west with Hayden Sr.(no offense intended.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Ahh now that does make sense. I sometimes used to get them mixed up too. Too many "B's" in the family! Plus I sort of get what you mean about the scary packaging, like clowns, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Has to be Bulleit, for me. Something makes me shy away from that brand, like I shy away from a poison ivy plant. I just turn and walk the other way...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO is the only bottle Ive ever considered pouring down the drain. Please try in a bar before purchasing a bottle. You may like it. I could barely choke it down with coke.

BigRich Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I can't recommend Overholt, either. But, my own experience with it is not that it is bad, it's just that it is simply beyond boring. The last bottle that I bought some years ago ended up in the wife's "ginger & rye" stock. Very very blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 After trying rye from other producers, I think I like Beam's (including OO) about the least. It has this peanut shell taste, not really in my wheel house. I would say my Forest Gump would be MM Cask Strength. I am a big fan of wheaters. Still I pass it all the time. The cheapest I've seen was $50 on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge wheater fan (but I have nothing against them either) but I am really impressed by it. After trying it I'd be surprised if someone doesn't question why we bother trying to chase down Weller 12, Pappy, and William Larue, when this stuff can be found at every liquor store for $50 to $55.

Agreed; wheated bourbons are not my first choice except on hot days. MMCS is the one exception and is a regular for me. With MMCS, as I posted elsewhere, I like how I can play with how much water/ice I add to match a mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeTerp Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I'll add to the discussion here as well I don't particularly care for regular makers mark, but really enjoy the MMCS. It is significantly better and worth having around if youndontmind the premium price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Russells I've tryed are disco too, like I said they know what they are doing over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
