For that - I'll tell you some more bourbon stories. The original post in this thread was about Buffalo Trace. It's a nice name for some whiskey that I used to drink under a different label. It's a 'wheater' - they use plenty of corn to make it, but 'smooth it out' with a lot of wheat in the mash. I used to drink a lot more wheaters than I do these days, Let me point you at the Buffalo Trace folks big family of whiskey - including some Canadian stuff.

Those Wellers & W.L. Wellers are dandy 'wheater' bourbons, but they want a lot more money for 'em these days than the good old days (when I was the only guy buying 'em). The Old Charter line is another old fave - their 90 proof is a fave, good buy for the money. Another 'good buy' on the page is the Benchmark stuff. It's not as good as some of their $89/750 whiskey but it won't cost all that much. I recommend the 'black label' version. Eagle Rare is nice - but too pricey for me. It's a nice one to ask for when someone else is buying a shot. Ancient Age is another lower priced drink in their line. If you like 'smooth' their 10 year old is a smooth, semi affordable drink. If you find one with a 10 year label - try and buy it. If it's just an Ancient Age 10 label...well, here... read this.

Some more good reviews at that site. Pour a small dram and read a bit and keep amused until football season rolls around again. We deserve it.
