Just bought on sale at $17.95 and to me is a good sipping whiskey. Personally I don't like a heavy bite at the end. A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.

Bourbon..not blended ..but a straight natural whiskey ! I like 'em all. On a cold night with me bare feet in the fireplace..with a splash of lime Perrier.I must say.. I like OLD CROW by tradition...Jim Beam when I feel a little Hank Jr. Don't always remember" Who hit John" the next day ...But I make it to work & kick ass !

When I go to buy some fine Kentucky bourbon I generally choose Pappy Van Winkle, but for around or under $30, I like Makers. NRA Benefactor Member

I found some Bookers, Bakers, Basil Hayden, and Knob Creek. Gonna be a good summer. A little off topic -- I threw in a bottle of Bullit Rye for fun as well!!
