Bourbon is the toxic (it WILL kill you!) liquid drained off of rotting grain!
To me, it tastes pretty vile and unless mixed with something or cut with water, I really don't see the point!
YMMV!

Hal, a really good kid with a penchant for alcohol was left at home by his parents.
He called some of his buddies over in his parents absence and began to imbibe in some Jack Daniels.
Somewhere along the way, one of them bet Hal $20 he couldn't kill the remainder of the bottle.
Hal completed the wager and passed out.
When Hal's parents returned the next day, they found an empty whiskey bottle, a $20 bill and a son deceased from alcohol poisoning.

Quitting Alcohol

I just quit, it has more to do with my faith and walk than anything. I quit 8 years ago and never looked back.

Excessive use of exclamation points intentional to match your post.

My condolences if you were friends with Hal, or are friends with his family

My day in day out favorite, neat, on ice, or with a splash of any mixer remains Wild Turkey Rare Breed. The Rare Breed Rye mash is also excellent. For $40 a bottle at Sam's for barrel proof bourbon, I'm not sure there is a better value.

On a whim I bought a bottle of Elijah Craig from a local liquor store's private barrel pick. It's 120 proof barrel strength and it's pretty nice. Has a little burn to it that the Rare Breed lacks, but it's fun to try something new once in a while.

Just got off night shift and heading out to shoot a few arrows with a Widow Jane 10yr.
I'm on the fence with this one. Good enough but not a favorite.

I can see why people like this, but I am not a fan of that maple finish.

Rare Breed is a GREAT value. I’m converting my traveling Old Fashioned box to Rare Breed for sipping and Rare Breed Rye for the OFs.

I have a 10 batch 2. Its very good. I wouldnt pay more then $160 for it which is twice over retail of $79. The guys asking $350 for it are crazy.

JD10 is easy to get on secondary for 130 or less

Thats good its finally come down some. I personally wont buy secondary out of spite / principal but I would never judge someone that has the means and can't find it elsewhere.

I have not. And its not on my radar personally. I'm a little burned out on wine / sherry finished stuff.
