A lot corn in sweetfeed, and as I recall from my youth, a bit of molasses. Should give a light rum flavor that should be tasty!

My bag is equal parts corn, oak, barley and touch of molasses.
Darn fancy grain bill, I'm telling ya. Properly run, aired and aged about a week (white) can't be beat.

I had a sample a couple of months ago during a distillery tour. It's better than the WR-regular.
The wife and I stopped by on our way south last week on a lark. We were 10 minutes late.  Beautiful country though. I enjoy WR with a light splash of tepid H2O. Double O is on the shopping list for the next run.

I'm with mathman on the WR Double Oak. Too tannic and astringent for my taste. I thought the wood overpowered the other flavors. Much prefer the regular WR but different tastes is why they make lots of different whiskey. One of the few top shelf bourbons I really didn't like (the other being Angel's Envy).

Put me in the "it's good but not worth the premium" camp.
I enjoyed in better the second time I had it, I'd like to try it again. Lot of oak.

Sign me up! Sounds real tasty. Don't forget to run some Calvados!

but made using sweetfeed- ![[Linked Image]](http://i59.tinypic.com/34zc806.jpg) Betcha most of the likker snobs here haven't a clue what sweetfeed is and if ya told 'em they'd have an aneurysm. Pour some good cheap bar whiskey into a fancy bottle and right away they be goin' off about nose, nutty, delightful, malty and oaky etc. Denny Dumped many a bag at black bear bait stations... they like it before it gets distilled and a little fermentation does not bother them. It does not clump up like donuts and stuff so the bear has to hang in right at the feed to eat rather than grabbing a huge clod and disappearing into the brush.. They call it "COB with" here...

Got home a little while ago and tried it, neat. Very smooth and even. I like it!

I'm with mathman on the WW Double Oak. Too tannic and astringent for my taste. I thought the wood overpowered the other flavors. Much prefer the regular WW but different tastes is why they make lots of different whiskey. One of the few top shelf bourbons I really didn't like (the other being Angel's Envy). I like it with some Diet 7*Up and ice. Tastes great to me.

That's what Ten High or Early Times are for. What about Canadian Mist? Anything in a 1.75 ltr plastic jug for under $20 will do.

It's alright, but not a thriller in my book. Especially at the price. I've only had the regular and above somebody said it was better than the regular WR. It would have to be.

My best buddies wife started on WR some years back. Got us to try it. Not bad at all.
Will have to buy her a bottle of the double aged one next Christmas or sooner so we can all have a sip.
Thanks, Jeff
