Re: Bourbon
This one isn't too bad. Beam Distillers Series, it's thinner and lighter tasting than the Beam Black, which is strange. You figure with a 7 yr age statement, it would be closer in taste. The one problem I have with it, is that it's a little watery. It should taste full, and it's missing much of the caramel and smoke you'd expect from Bourbon. If anything, it's a good starter Bourbon.
BMMS is wrong.

what bourbons can I buy in our neighbourhood?
I have, before me, the 2011-2012 Mitra (Dutch liquor store chain) WhiskySpecial catalog and price guide. While the scotch selection is reasonably good, the bourbon offerings are rather slim.
The bourbons Mitra offers are: Four Roses, Four Roses Single Barrel, Four Roses Small Batch, Jim Beam White, Jim Beam Black, Maker's Mark, 3 offerings from the Traitor JD, and a bourbon I'm not familiar with, Penny Packer
Maybe Casino or ivan are familiar with Penny Packer?
Btw, BB...here's the Mitra WhiskySpecial catalog online (below)...unfortunately, it doesn't appear to have a price guide that I can find:

Penny Packer is made by Heaven Hill but only for export.

Yeah...I'm trying to educate drinkers over here about JD but they've been brainwashed into believing it is THE American whiskey. Hard to compete with a gimme cap and a cheap t-shirt.FNZ wrote:Hey hey, what what?peetie44 wrote:The bourbons Mitra offers are:... 3 offerings from the Traitor JD, ...

“I discovered those folks who didn’t want the punch of Wild Turkey 101 were sorely disappointed by other whiskies that disappeared like a fox down a hole when mixed with things like cola,” said Eddie Russell. “So with Jimmy’s blessing, I developed Wild Turkey 81 – an everyday whiskey that can stand up to any mixer or in any cocktail with the bold, in-your-face taste that is distinctively Wild Turkey.” -- Eddie Russell
"...folks who didn't want the punch of Wild Turkey 101..."
Hmmmm...could Wild Turkey Raspberry Infused Bourbon be far behind?

Re: Bourbon
Is 81 an update of what used to be their 80 proof? Please tell me that they are not producing two different varieties with 1 proof difference. It's bad enough that they have 80 and 86.8 proof.

Jesus fucking tapdancing Christ would I like to choke those motherfuckers! Here we can't get the 8 year old or 12 year old versions of 101 and they're pissing around with 3 different versions of sub-90 proof bourbon!

Re:
Troublesome, I know. It's warm, it has that going for it. I bought it for shits and giggles. I mean, why buy anything but the 101 unless it's for shits and giggles? It's going right down there in the cabinet, heck, I'm gonna put it next to the Devil's Cut.peetie44 wrote:How's it chug?TheBigCasino wrote:Oh just enjoying a glass of WT81... WT81 WTF???
