IT SAYS 'THIRD' BECAUSE IT'S FUNNIER THAT WAY!

Now mail me the good bourbon you mentioned in that other thread. You don't deserve it, and I clearly need it.

I'd offer you some bourbon, but I don't think you're near DFW.

I have some one of a kind Arkansas single barrel bourbon, that is quite delicious. You can't have any. It's mine! All mine..

Mine is "Blanton's".

Turns out I have some Michter's 'Small Batch' Bourbon.

Also, I know almost nothing about bourbon whiskey.

The type Corps and I have is single barrel. It never has a declared age on the bottle. Each barrel is judged individually to determine when they are ready for bottling. They can be smoother than blended bourbons (not from different distilleries like with blended Scotch; blended from different barrels that are begun at the same time), but I find them closer to Scotches in terms of personality. I've only tried a few. None have been bad.

Your normal bourbons would be stuff like Jack Daniels. Jack is disgusting, even the "reserve" and "honey" varieties. It's incredibly harsh without the flavor profile to make up for it. Maker's Mark is in the same ~~camp~~ crap, BUT THEY PUT RED WAX ON THE BOTTLES SO IT MUST BE HIGH QUALITY. Knob Creek is loads better albeit average in terms of taste and quality, but for the same price, you can get Woodford reserve, which is delightful. It's the official bourbon of the Kentucky Dirby, and not in the way that Bud is the official beer of FIFA. Woodford reserve is smooth and delicious. I quite enjoy using Woodford for cooking as well (basic whiskey sauce: butter, brown sugar, and bourbon simmered for a while possibly with seasonal fruit added in if the fruit would go well with bourbon).

For that bourbon, try it and see if you like it. If it's not good enough to drink except in desperation, you could try using a little bit for cooking (a little bit so you don't make a whole lot of something that tastes like crap). If it's not even good enough for cooking, send it to an enemy or Deathgod as punishment for his views on statistics.

I have tried it.

I can't tell yet if I like it. I have almost no experience with bourbon. Some things I like right away. Other things I have to taste over time. There are new flavours going on here.

For example, it took a while for me to commit to sampling Belgian sour beers. It's just so weird the first time. Eventually I came to know the flavours, and some of them are pretty great.

This bourbon was a gift. I have no idea if it was expensive, or middlin', or swill. It seems a bit sweet to me. It's not like Irish whisky, but it seems to sit in that range. I tend to like Scotch whiskys more than Irish, and partly I think that's because of the sweetness. It also tastes stronger to me - more alcoholish - and that affects the tasting process.

Having sampled only a very few (I have had Knob Creek), I really don't know what's out there or the extent to which the tastes differ.

That might take a long time. It's pretty rare that I want straight liquor, and even less so in summer.
