Likely because it’s really not a rye in the traditional sense. Love this bourbon. My hat is off to you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a blind SBS between the two It's slightly better, but not $20.00 better. I bought two bottles and won't be replacing them until/unless WT comes to their senses and reduces the price. For $45.00 I can get a handle of WT101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grady330 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Today will be Blanton's SiB. My son passed on Feb 26 and I vowed to have a good pour on his birthday. May he be resting in peace. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the day off and we went back to the carousel where we got married. That's the same horse. Hung out with our grandson and daughter at the Butterfly House, then had a nice Jamaican cafe dinner. Capped it off with some roses. Was a nice day. Glad I'll be working from home tomorrow! Happy Anniversary! My wife and I just celebrated 30 years this past Saturday. We went to Brown County for the weekend and had a grand time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll crack a Blanton's and have a nice pour, as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed in the Abe Martin Lodge in the Brown County State Park. The park is some distance from Lake Monroe, but the creek that feeds into start Lake Monroe is in Brown County. We've been getting rain every week for a while, so White River seemed up a bit last time I saw it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My condolences. Nothing I can say will ever relieve you of your pain. Wish you or anyone in your situation would not have to experience that loss. I do not have any BLANTON'S with me so I opened what I hope is a fine btl in honor of you, your son and your loved ones in this time of grieving. "After sorrow comes happiness".

The 15 year Gatsbys are in my wheelhouse also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
