madal Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Saw this at the liquor shop yesterday, anything to it other than it being Willie Nelson's brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesbassdad Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 It's a controversial bottling.On one side there are those of us who liken its better characteristics to boiled cauliflower and broccoli.On the other side some seasoned bourbonites (including Jim Butler and Chuck Cowdery, IIRC) find it passable. "Better than it needs to be", I think Chuck said.Try it at your own risk, and let us know how you like it.BTW, I dumped most of my bottle, and I found the guitar pick too stiff.Yours truly,Dave Morefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNbourbon Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 It's 6yo Heaven Hill bourbon 'hand-picked by Parker Beam'. I guess he wanted to get it out of the warehouse.Buy Evan Williams black label -- it, too, is from Heaven Hill, you get an extra year, to save a few extra dollars, and you like it a whole lot better.

SBOmarc Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Tried it one time. Now I never need to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeluka Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 The bourbon kinda sucks but if you can get a bottle of the Bourbon Creme they put out pick it up right away. Also I've found that any bourbon that doesnt want to go down can be fixed by pouring an ounce of Wild Turkey Liqueor in the glass. I love the effect this liqueor has on bourbon. TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wku88 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hack!! Pitou!!sorry, it ranks right up there with Conecuh Ridge with me. Which is to say, it ain't even worth drowning in cola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8erdane Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Try this exercise: Whiskey RiverReplace the R with an L: Whiskey LiverNow reverse the order of the name: Liver WhiskeyNow you have what I think of this bottling....Just kidding, I find this bourbon to be tolerable but not memorable. You pay for the marketing hype associated with Willie's name. Now think about this, picture Willie, forget about his music, and ask yourself if a whiskey associated with a man who looks like this shouldn't be swigged from a brown paper bag down by the railroad tracks....
