Widow Jane Decadence is pretty mediocre. So is the Barrell Vantage.

barrel seagrass - start with the cheapest one green label. If you like it you will like the grey and gold labels.

That green label is very good. Of the ryes I’ve tried, I think this and Angels Envy are my favorites so far for sipping neat.

For an everyday drink it’s really hard to beat wellers green label and basil hayden in my opinion. Both are smooth and inexpensive

You may not be a wheater fan. I have had many and some of the "best" ones. I have generally learned to pass on wheats. I also dont love high rye bourbons (30%) rye in a corn mashbill. I love corn, I love high ryes 95/5. I dont like them mixed. AKA remus special reserve. Start tracking mashbills and you will get ahead sooner.

I came back around to this Whistlepig wheater tonight and actually really enjoyed it. I’m starting to wonder if I need to open bottles up and let them sit for a week before I try them. And apparently neat at room temp is the only way to drink them.

The WJ Decadence didn’t get any better though.

I might be a high rye fan…I like every variety of Bulleit that I’ve tried anyway.

They (the bourbon influncers) say that a bottle will change sometimes at 0.75 - 0.5 - 0.25. I havent so much experienced that. I have experienced really liking the first glass and not liking the third. Same in reverse.

Penelope Rio and tojaki were 2 that I really liked the 1st glass then by the 3rd they were almost un drinkable.

whistlepig 10yr head and tails I didnt like first glass but then really warmed up to it.

But, here’s what I dropped off with my hunting pard who is driving out to Wyoming with our rifles and backpacks/ammo/optics:

Ratio of gear to bourbon looks good to me

Also another guy coming into camp is owner of a winery in Healdsburg and bringing some wine so once I dump an elk we’ll be dining and drinking like kings!

If you are a rye drinker, I highly recommend Smooth Ambler's Old Scout Single Barrel Rye. Very solid pour.

thought you would appreciate this. Picked up at the HH distillery in 2014 when we were there for my BILs birthday. Just been saving it ever since.

Best bourbon! unfortunately it’s been discontinued. You can still find online for 90.00.

I’ve slowed down buying bottles a lot especially after I added everything to my Only Drams profile and saw how much I’ve spent. But I picked up a Four Roses Single Barrel and a OFSB recently.

That Four Roses is probably my favorite thus far.

I snagged a Blanton's Gold Store Pick on a pronghorn hunt last week. I certainly paid more than MSRP, but I am a sucker for buying a good bottle on a hunting trip.

Picked up a bottle of Green River when I visited my parents in Owensboro, and it is pretty good.

Love it, that’s gotta be incredible!

I’ve settled in the last few days with a Russel’s SB and the Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit. Will probably open the EC batch proof tomorrow night.
