While the premium bourbons are fine, I actually enjoy Old Crow for my evening sippin'......The $30+ bottles aren't three times as nice.

I like my bourbon in all forms, including a good old-fashioned...

Just received a bottle of Weller Antique 107 from my oldest son as a Christmas gift. As good or better than bourbons selling for 2x what it cost. Some really good shit. JR

Son is well trained.
Weller is never a bad choice.
Speaking of wheaters, Makers 46 is worth a try if you haven't yet.

Old Crow is actually well made, it's just awfully young to be recommended as a 'sipper'. As mentioned, it is in reality just Jim Beam pulled at three years. It has a following. Crow is at it's best as a well iced bourbon and soda on a hot day under a shade tree after 100 targets.

My buddy got a 1/2 gallon of "Weller 12"...100 bucks. Same seller had one out on the shelf for $300. A few years back they were going for 50 bucks. Like I said I can take or leave Weller 12 its next to impossible to get so I guess I'll leave it. It really should have a different name because no other Weller comes close to Weller 12 in smoothness or taste.

Standing around a cart on a cold winter day after 100 targets with Col.Taylor and one ice cube was a good warmer yesterday.... If whiskey needs something in it you need to find you another whiskey or find you some flowery mixed drink of sorts because what you are drinking is not fit for human consumption.

Ive heard with the one iced cube, best if its distilled water so the good booze doesnt get tainted with impurities.

My older buddy in middle Tennessee likes ice from this special spring...I'm not that picky.
I might have to try distilled water.

Artesian well water is best, if you can get it. But just a splash, and I have a purist neighbor who loves Rebel Yell-branch water, and he much prefers ice chipped from a block from an old-time ice house-hard to get today- but if he can't get that, he will fill his ice cube trays with distilled water--to each his own- Prosit!!
