I get into some rabbit holes on YouTube, but this one is funny, he tastes these bourbons for the first time and his descriptions are funny.

The real “benchmark” would be if he would mix some high priced and low priced together in a “blind” tasting and then “taste”. Our group has found that real “blind” tastings are the best and many times, the lower priced models beat the higher priced. Thanks for the link. It’s entertaining for a noon review on a Friday.

zbigjeff Yeah those blind tastes need to happen more often, then you’d see a lot of the highly sought after bottles actually collect dust on the shelf in stores. I think too many people don’t want to sit back and trust their own taste buds, they rely on some guy who drinks various amounts of bourbon.

One of my favorite fall drinks. I heat some fresh apple cider and mull with some spices (ussually allspice, nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon). Mix about 2 parts cider with 1 part Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire cinnamon whiskey. I mixed a few of these camping with just the cider, whiskey and a cinnamon stick and it was great. I’ve done them as a cold drink also. I do not use or drink Fireball since it is way to sweet for my taste.

My order of preference first to last was exactly reversedglen A buddy did a random blind taste test a few weeks ago and this was his ranking of what they tried.
- Rich & Rare
- Buffalo Trace
- Makers Mark
- Weller SR
So weird things can happen.

Tried a new drink I saw using bourbon, lemon juice, and a bit of maple syrup. Came out pretty good. A little sweet but nothing adding more bourbon can’t fix. 🤪

Just goes to show how tastes differ. Although good, R&R would not have made my list.

PapaSop Yeah Papa, R&R never popped up on my radar until my wife bought it for the bottle to decorate our faux patio bar.
I couldn’t bear the thought of that poor whiskey feeling abandoned and lonely so I gave it a good “home” and refilled with tea
I think it is pretty good for the price point -
HerbcoFood .Just now realized. R&R is a Canadian Whisky. The rest are all bourbon’s. Huge difference.
