I'm actually super intrigued and want it even more now just to see how I feel about wheat whiskey's. You might want to start with Bernheim as a bit of a tuning fork on the style. As Steve pointed out, the Woodford is heavily tilted to the Woodford house style and may not be the best representation of a wheat whiskey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with Rich that you should start with Bernheim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap, I always thought that bourbon was great source of protein after a run. I might have to give up running because I ain't giving up bourbon.

mbroo5880i Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I bought a bottle of FRSiB at Costco today for $38. I don't drink bottle to bottle. Well, not unless a paper bag and a curb outside the liquor store is involved but I opened this one when I got home. It passes the test of three sigmas above swill.

I've same rating for all the FRSiB I've sampled lately. It's hit or miss, get a great one or more likely just average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan1311 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) This is one of the most underrated barrel-proofers out there, and a steal at $69.00. This one is a pick, and it's a stellar one. I think I've stashed 5-6 bottles. They did another barrel, which I have yet to try, but hope to remedy that soon.

I'm actually super intrigued and want it even more now just to see how I feel about wheat whiskey's. I have a 6 year old straight wheat whiskey from Old Elk that has far more character than the Woodford release, but I'm sure the 59.2% ABV has a lot to do with it. The Woodford Reserve Wheat is a non-event pour-- without a proper delivery, much less a finish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the SB rye on some shelves, but can't bring myself to pay $50.00 for it. I'm a cheap bastard and there are so many fantastic rye whiskeys out there at the price point, (and much less), that I can't see dropping the $$ on it. That being said, if I can get my hands on a bottle of the SBBP rye I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly sure who made this distillate, but it has a very nice almost strawberry candy taste to it. The one I had a couple of years ago was Four Roses distillate; OESO iirc.

On topic most of the JBSiBBP I’ve tried have been good to great. One was absolutely incredible and at the time changed my opinion on how great their whiskey. I did have one barrel that was waaay too much banana for my tastes though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 H20 tonight. Oh, and I had a diet coke earlier with dinner. Winding down a dry month and almost there. I did have a few glasses of red wine during the course of the month when my wife and I went out to eat with some friends we hadn't seen in a long time, that was the extent of my intake -- no spirits and no beer. And whilst some of you suckers out there did a Dry January, I opted for Dry February. Why you might ask. Isn't the answer obvious?... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
