The EW 12yo (red label) is excellent, don't know that it's available Stateside though. Its usually available at their gift shop in Louisville, but runs $120ish.

All this bourbon talk got me motivated to crack a McKenna. These are a gamble as they can run the gamut from hand sanitizer to exceptional. This one happens to be exceptional with butter toffee over dried fruit notes. I have a bottle of the McKenna which I haven't opened yet. Sounds like there's no way to tell how good it is until its opened...I've got an Old Fitzgerald in same condition. Hopefully that one is a winner.

Some friends and I had several bottles of Blanton's open for one tasting and there were clear differences.

Has anybody here tried Crown Royal Blender’s Mash...?
I think when it first came out it was called Bourbon Mash.
It has a mash bill of 64% Corn, 31.5% Rye, and 4.5% Malted Barley.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Did you just bring Canadian, maple syrup flavored dish water into this conversation?!

Well after reading that dude’s review...even though his palate appears to clearly be more refined than mine is...I’m no longer curious about it like I was. Thanks for that link. As for bourbon, my absolute favorite is Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve. And I always have Bulleit on hand too.

I was given a bottle of Crown Reserve. It lasted a weekend. Sunday was a sad day. 🦫

Bulleit is fine but Knob Creek is more to my taste.
