Bulleit, and a lot of other "hand-crafted," "small-batch" and "artisanal" bourbons are actually mass produced by MGP Ingredients in Indiana. Which is not to say that they aren't fine whisky, but it's mostly marketing.

Evan Williams has always done the job just fine for me.

i like that whiskey, uh
i can't remember the name of it,
it doesn't matter you'll recognize the one.

you know.
it like life is in one bottle
and death in a jar next to it.
and this special blend,
of whiskey.
it cross contaminates the two
exclusively sanitized domains.
and as a little bit of
death mixes with your life,
and my life blood
trickles thru death's folds,
all spiritual thresholds are
eliminated and at that
moment, zero exceeds infinity.

you ever had that batch? anyone.

damn the distilled condition;
my kids are snug warm in their bed,
dreamin' freely to infinity and back;

and i'm outside 'neath the cold moon,
trippin and stumblin' over an 1/8 inch of now.

tears in my eyes.

I do enjoy some good bourbon, most of my friends are scotch drinkers, after trying a variety I have come to the conclusion that I really dont enjoy scotch.

Always wanted to try some of the Hudson whiskys, but the bottles are so small, looks like you'd get 2 good doubles and it would be gone!! LOL

My flask in the back country is usually filled with Buffalo Trace, or Bullit (whichever is on hand) and its also my go to if im at home making a mixed drink, when I don't have any rye on hand. (Old Fashioneds, Manhattans or Hot Toddys)

For sipping at home, I love me some Willet Pot Still, or Blantons, either neat or with a single small cube.
Just picked up a bottle of 4 Roses Single Barrel and found it to be quite tasty as well.
Bookers is good too but at 129 proof (or whatever it is) I need to watch myself. Another good hi octane selection is Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve, it comes in at 120 proof but goes down pretty easily.

So I've started feeling full/bloated/fat after drinking a beer or 3, so I figured I'd pick up some bourbon. In my entire life I think I've had 1 whiskey & 7, and maybe a shot of whiskey in high school.

I definately do not have a taste for whiskey/bourbon. . .

They had Bulleit Bourbon on sale at Manor Market for $26, so I grabbed a bottle. I just poured an ounce or so with an ice cube and I'm not so sure that I like bourbon!

How long does it take to get a taste for it? Will I become an old dirty drunk in short order?
