Only had a few bourbons, jim beam white is my usual, the only one widely available where I am, had a bottle of jim beam black at a party once and it was delicious, if a bit smooth. I enjoy a bit of wild turkey when I can get it, and bulleit, though can I only find it in bars, never in shops. Buffalo trace I remember being decent. Old Samuel is my benchmark, which I think was a supermarket own brand and tasted like the whiskey flavouring you get in biscuits and cakes, not great. Bourbon is like Irish whiskey in Scotland, the price has shot up in the last two years to about the same as a cheap single malt

I've had me few dozen bourbons.

Taking taste apart from price over here and the fact most of those aren't even avaible in Finland.

WT rarebreed, EW SB, Knob Creek, Maker's 46 and Eagle Rare Single Barrel have been my top pics.

Any new recommendations? Aside from Parker's Heritage, ghe new BTAC and Angel's Envy, I literally have zero new Bourbons on my radar. Nothing out here is interesting.

I dont think that I have heard of anything new on the horizon. Crap on a crutch, it's 100+ Farenheit here in the central Commonwealth; nobody wants to go into one of those warehouses.

Well, if anyone would know, it'd be you. I've been on Black Maple Hill recently, it is startlingly smooth. I normally like a good kick in the pants type of drink, like a WLW or a Stagg, but this here is a great drinking Whiskey, you can sail evenly all evening. I must find out their secret. It's 95 proof too, wow. You'd never know it by the taste, it's like butter. This isn't one of those bottles that comes and goes, this is a permanent, top shelf addition to the home bar.
