    I just find a lot of it too sweet. After like one I'm like ugh get me something else.

    To preface this I always love the first one. Just can't do the second.

    I’m in my bourbon phase. And I’ve tasted and drank many from all over and many price points. After all that, I’ve settled on Evan Williams as my everyday house bourbon. Way underrated and over looked. In a different bottle this would be 3 times the price.

    It's probably underrated, but still Wild Turkey 101 is easily the most underrated value bourbon there is.

    Always trust in higher proof whiskey. Iron law. Even Williams at 86 proof just doesn't hold together in an old fashioned like 101.

    Watered down whiskey regardless of price point sucks. Hence, why Basil Hayden (80 proof is for fags).
    Wild turkey is the best.

    What's odd to me is it has a connotation of being like hardcore.

    So I'll be at a business thing and I'll be like y'all got any wild turkey and everyone around me is like ohhh turkey guy huh.


    Like yeah dude it's good.
    It’s great house bourbon. I drank a couple wild Turkeys on the rocks today.

    I like sherry cask bourbons. Rabbit Hole has a nice profile. Makers has some reserve editions that are quite enjoyable as well.

    As for general bourbon, I have 2 groups: mass consumption, for which Jim Beam can’t be beat (jack tastes like bananas to me), and classy, which includes the sherry’s and Joseph magnus, which I highly recommend.

    Special occasions I break out the Blantons collection…regular, gold, black and green. Always a hit.

    And a tip to getting hard to get bottles (blantons, clase Azul tequila, anything not pappy) is find a bar owner willing to sell on the side. Usually it’s an extra 50 bucks over retail.

    I picked up a bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel the other day. Pretty damn tasty.

    Pretty much any "popular on the internet" bourbon (Eagle Rare, Blanton's, etc ) is super hard to find right now. Even fucking regular old Bufalo Trace is becoming somewhat scarce.

    It’s decent stuff.
