Was told this was, "smooth". Inasumch as there's little bouquet, palate, or finish, I suppose they're correct. It really drinks like a < $20 bourbon, but there's no harshness. I keep wanting to find an offering that might give me a reason to stray from my old stand-by bourbon of $31, but I'm not finding one. FC

When I really want to just sip bourbon I open the wallet for Bookers. Daily is 101

Russells Reserve, just the regular 10 year. I prefer it to the single barrel. I can't like this one - too spicy at the end for me. The only Turkey products I care for are Rare Breed & Russell's. I find much to appreciate in the nose & body, but a nice smooth finish at the end. FC

That said, if I was a rich man I'd be drinking Bookers all the time.

Pretty hard to beat Woodford Reserve for the price ($30-35).

I'm so pedestrian.

I like Bulleit as good as any. But my hands down favorite is Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve. Love the stuff.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I've been looking for this for as long as I can remember. Grew up drinking Dickel white. Used to chew on a coffee stirrer when my folks would have people over on the weekends and sneak some of the old man's Dickel & ginger ale when no one was looking. Special place in my heart for Dickel. I always keep a few bottles of white around, but have never seen the Bottled in Bond on a shelf. Hell, I don't even know what it retails for, but I'll buy the first few bottles I see.

I sent an Army Captain off to Afghanistan with a fifth of Bookers a few years ago. From what I hear it was a big hit.

Might be a shade over $31/bottle, but I was getting bottles for $33 when I was in Texas. I think it has a similar flavor as that Russell's, except maybe the Russell's has a bit more rye/spice on the tail end.
