My everyday go to’s are Makers Mark or Crown Royal. The Bad Dog is a distillery in Arlington, WA and the Laws is from Denver

I bought a sample pack of the Laws. The Centennial Wheat bourbon and rye were great and I would buy the 750ml bottles of each. This past weekend, I opened the four grain….couldn’t drink it. But I also don’t like malted bourbons and think that took over. The last sample from the pack is malted bourbon…I guess I’ll be giving these away!

Bought my first bottle of Ohio produced Bourbon.
It’s Western Reserve small batch bourbon. It’s produced in Lakewood Ohio. It’s up by Cleveland. It’s advertised as a blend of 4 to 6 barrels of 4 year old bourbon then it’s mixed with some of their 14 year old bourbon. I’m sure it’s not too much 14 year old since it was only $34.99.
It’s very easy sipping. I’m sure since it’s only 86 proof that could be a reason. It’s a bit sweet up front but then with a bit of spice and I actually taste a bit of tobacco on the end. I’ve read that some of the other bourbons I have are supposed to have a tobacco taste and I just thought that’s crazy since I’ve never tasted that. But with this one I do.
I believe my next 3 to 4 bottles of Whiskey / Bourbon are going to be Ohio produced unless something special pops up the next time I go to the liquor store.Comment

This was a nice double oaked bottle. I really like Woodford Double Oak and may prefer that over this, but this bottle is different enough than the Woodford. Will have to see if I can find another one or ask my daughter to bring me one from Colorado again

Have you ever tried this one? A friend of mine who lives across the line in Ky gifted me this last year.

Nope, the Western Reserve was my first bottle of Ohio Bourbon. I’ll be on the lookout for Dexter -
Skinsfan1311. Looks like the closest liquor store that has this is 90 miles from me. Might have to wait until a local liquor store gets it in.

just saw this on YT, based on what Skinsfan1311 shared. So thought I’d share it with you so you could decide if that drive is worth it

Barrel Strength Penelope, 116 proof. This one needs a cube of ice

It’s a Weller Wednesday! This is the Weller SR - poured this into the decanter some time ago and it has a really smooth drink to it. It’s been a while since I’ve had SR, and I don’t remember it being this smooth and tastey!

This bottle has been picking up some publicity as of late and I came across one today. I don’t know if I’ve had a soft wheat offering, but I do like wheaters and this does not disappoint. A soft wheat really stands out on first sip, has a great cherry type flavor and drinks higher than a 100 proof bottle in a good way. I am enjoying this neck pour and have been told it gets better as it opens up. For a $53 bottle, it’s a nice one to have if you like wheated bourbons.

I’m almost one year into my Bourbon journey and this might be my favorite thing to sip on after a hard day at work.
Out of the 15 different bourbons / whiskey bottles I’ve bought, this is my fourth bottle of Buffalo Trace. Also at it’s $26.99 price tag here in Ohio, it’s better than some of my $40+ bottles.Comment

It’s a great bottle, especially for the price! Dollar amount doesn’t equate to better. There are some cheaper bottles that are good as well!
If you ever see Benchmark, give that a try. From the same distillery and most of the bottles are cheaper or about the same price as BT. If you want a little more proof, they have that in BM.

I was in the liquor store yesterday and there was a bourbon tasting. I've never had this before so decided to give it a try. At 90 proof I was surprised at how smooth it was. They also had a cask strength at 108 proof but I didn't like it as much.

I’m down in Florida visiting my mother and sister. Decided to see if Florida makes a bourbon and yes they do.
Pay no attention to the “cup” the bourbon is being enjoyed out of. 😆
It’s different than the other bourbons I’ve drank. It’s sweet in a way that fruit is sweet and not like sugar sweet. It’s very easy to sip and has a beginning, middle and end. It’s not a one trick pony.
It’s 88 proof and its mash bill is 60% Florida corn, 22% barley and 18% Florida wheat. They mill the grains, ferment and distill the spirit, barrel and age right at their location in St. Augustine. Quite a delicious and different bourbon.Comment

Sitting on the back porch watching the Caps and there's a little chill in the air...so this is a perfect pour for the weather..I need something to dull the pain
