Sometimes I can be too critical of a standard shelf offering so I was trying to approach this bourbon as objective as I could be. You know the picks raise the bar so was trying to keep it real. Cheers buddy.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084821666852687199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-87703583883779240882013-09-13T23:36:35.678-04:002013-09-13T23:36:35.678-04:00Wow, $20?

Bravo to Big House for keeping the price down!<br /><br />But Greg, I don't understand your paragraph about having to take off your enthusiast hat to approach a whiskey with an open mind. Are you trying to review this through a lens other than your own? You're a whiskey dork; own it! Ok, yes, you want to be able to evaluate the whiskey without pre-conceived notions regarding age, source and proof, but that goes without saying on anything you review, right?<br /><br />Anyway, well done! I haven't seen this in Chicago, but if I'm looking at a shelf of 'craft' whiskey in bottles with labels I've never seen and companies I've never heard of, I will buy the cheapest bottle with the most industrially specific label I see. I don't care about Ebenezer, just tell me where what I'm drinking comes from, how it's made, and give me a fair(ly cheap) price and I'll try anything.AaronWFhttp://whiskeywonka.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-83405097890735800572013-09-03T19:28:56.253-04:002013-09-03T19:28:56.253-04:00I agree.

As you pointed out, for $20 for an age stated and 90 proof bourbon that tastes good? No brainer. I'll BOLO this selection in the event it shows up here in VA.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084821666852687199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-41793827889363543692013-09-03T09:11:03.184-04:002013-09-03T09:11:03.184-04:00Richnimrod said;

A six-year-old Bourbon with decent profile for $20?...that's hard to beat! ...And, it IS available here in Michigan!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
