ChiefsPlanet - Food and Drink Any Bourbon drinkers out there?

It's a beer. The beer is going for more on secondary (not hugely important to me), but I know what I'd be giving up on the beer side but not totally clear what I'm gaining on the bourbon side. Which is why I posed it to you discerning connoisseurs of bourbon :)

I've never had it but it's got great reviews online and seems a bit hard to find US side.

It's not some holy grail bottle (like Pappy) that I'm aware of, but not sure how rare the beer is you are trading either.

Sounds to me mixing the two should be illegal in Ireland. They don't sell the bourbon.... not sure if it hasn't aged yet or aged well.

They won a gold metal in 2016 from an "award mill" billed as NYISC (one of 8) a trade judged competition (buyers, distributors, and bar managers?) for it's Builders Gin but paid $300. to judge it. There were 2 other gins which earned Double Gold Metals.

It was average at best. I would buy it.

Pappy's stays in business by being given as gifts and as a status symbol,
I was not impressed with it's value vs. cost.
I've had the Weller and it was very tasty but not that cheap.

That Weller 12yo is good stuff for just under 30 bucks but as the Somm said getting hard to find. I think because the popularity of bourbon now. As for Pappys Id never buy it for 350+ but I have mooched it and im pretty indifferent on it.

Found them extremely smooth. Very good sipping whiskey. I think both bottles cost around $75 total.

I’m a big fan of the bird dog products.

Neither are great, IMO. The green label small batch is only 86 proof and no aged stated. It tastes young and over-priced at $30. The 10 year is better but it's got a simple wheated/smooth taste but not complex and unremarkable finish.

But as I say, "Drink what you like!"

Stay away from blended Irish Whiskeys. Shit is weak and a dime a dozen. People think something named Irish Whiskey has some certain magic to it. It doesn't.

Maker's 46 is pretty decent stuff. Glad you are moving on up Billay!

Let me clarify.

I'd drink any Bird Dog over shitty Irish Whiskey blends.

I just read 3 reviews... compared the small batch to

Quote:

"better than Evan Williams White label @ $15"

And the 10 years as a 65 point with points added for the $30 price (2016)

Quote:

This is going slightly above a 60 only because I got it for $28. I think the MSRP on it is over $40, which I would recommend avoiding it for that price. The closest thing I could compare it to is benchmark, and I think I'd prefer benchmark

.

That is I believe a great compliment to Benchmark or...
