Last nights bourbon... it has been a long time since I had Eagle Rare's little younger brother... or maybe it is his younger cousin... whatever, it was pretty good, especially for the price.

I am going to guess Evan Williams. I don't believe I've had it either. I am going to look for that Bernheim when I'm out and about because wheaters have been tasty.

Actually it was the Jim Beam White. In all these years I had never tasted it until last night.

BTW that Bernheim wheater is very good. Parker's Heritage Wheat Whiskey put out in 2014 was actually the original barrels of Bernheim wheat that was 13 years old and bottled at 127 proof. Sweet, toasted bread notes. Incredibly smooth.

Can't post that and not tell us which you liked best...
Comparatively, I slummed it with some EC12 and SAOS 7. Both were great.

Well, I would never pretend to be an expert, but the Larue Weller--after nosing it for 15 minutes--makes me pray that there is a bourbon distillery in Heaven. It's 128 proof and the long finish lasted for fifteen minutes. Wifey wanted to spoil me on Friday night. Not sure I deserve it, though.Can't post that and not tell us which you liked best...

BTW, @Tennessee Dave, the bartender was a former sales rep for Buffalo Trace distillery. And he concurs with you 100%, Weller Reserve or Weller Antique are identical to any of the Pappy bourbons, and in blind tastings experts have trouble distinguishing them. So thanks again for the sage advice.
If there's not some bourbon I'd rather not go.Well, I would never pretend to be an expert, but the Larue Weller--after nosing it for 15 minutes--makes me pray that there is a bourbon distillery in Heaven.

Early afternoon treat on a beautiful Sunday and Father's Day to boot. I know a lot of folks are upset that the 12 year age statement has been dropped from this bourbon but for at least the present time it is still just an outstanding bourbon and the price is hard to beat.
