"Aged for at least a week, in Maple barrels."
Bought a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 a few days ago. The first taste didn't grab me. Plenty of fire power but not much to taste. I'll give it another try later. If all else fails, it is plenty good to mix with and Mrs. T likes bourbon and Coke.
Tried a new bottle of Evan Williams Single Barrel Select last night. Pretty smooth and sweet with one distinct flavor I can't quite describe. Further testing required.
Fook sober. Um, what was I testing? If it was Russell's single barrel bourbon, well, it passes my 3rd testing session. Not Four Roses Single Barrel tasty, but pretty damn good. I like the rapid buzz, too.Test away! And report back when sober.
101 is an interesting Bourbon...you go into it wondering why people like it and your first pour after cracking the bottle doesn't seem all that. Come back a day or two later, take another pour and suddenly it starts opening up. I think part of it is adjusting to the proof and maybe the bottle being opened for a couple days. IDK.
Huh. Haven't bought Wild Turkey in awhile. Wonder what's up.
American whiskey prices are rising across the board. Supply hasn't been able to keep up with demand. Maker's Mark tried to stretch their supply a little by going to a lower proof, but the backlash was fierce. So they said, "ok, now not everyone will be able to get some."

Picked up some Evan Williams Single Barrel yesterday. Thought I'd give it another shot since it's been years since last time I had it. No sir, I don't like it. Tastes sour and kind of harsh. It's funny because it's the same grain bill as Elijah Craig, but it's a pretty substantial difference from any Elijah barrels I tried. But, to be fair, every barrel is different.
Eagle Rare this week. Pretty smooth, no complaints here.
Mine has a pretty sweet flavor that lingers. I don't remember any sour taste, but my memory may have been dulled. messedup0
