This summer I have been trying different Burbons. Mostly to become aquainted with the different tastes to see what they are like. One of them has been the Blantons which is another sporadically gotten burbon. Its ok. I.like the Stag Jr, Popcorn Sutton shine and even the Old Taylor Rye. Old Granddad 114 is a good tasting bourbon for the buck, but it has the Beam taste. I will try a single barrel Four Roses next. But I am beginning to lose interest again. It can be a rather expensive past time at 50 to 70 a bottle I could be buying another spoon instead. I would just like to find a go to bourbon.
Buts I just gots to see if that dam Weller is as good as I remember. So I wouldn't mind having a taste of the Pappy just to see what it is like but I ain't gona pay the freight for it.

I was able to snag a bottle of Blantons a few months ago, I am waiting for cooler weather so I can sit out back and enjoy it.
Have you tried Elijah Craig? It is a nice cheap ($30 a bottle) go to for a decent sipping whiskey.
