Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 4370420, member: 1646"] Just saw this thread! Here are some of my favorites / least favorites. I find that I really enjoy the complexities (and strength) of many of the bourbons in the $70 - $100 range. But I also like to have a cheaper mid-week go-to. [LIST] [*]Every day (well... hopefully not EVERY day). I've been going with the Four Roses Small Batch ($35). But I find there are plenty of good ones from all the major distillers and blenders. [*]Dislike: [LIST] [*]I don't love the Hudson bourbon / ryes. Same with Widow Jane. Not bad, but I don't think they are worth the price or hype. But they make good gifts and aren't bad to have around for an Old Fashioned. [*]Most disappointing was a Whistlepig 10 year Rye. I think I like rye, but maybe I don't like real rye? Tasted like cut grass... that was soaked by the rain... and left to sit in a barrel. [*]Whatever Booker's I got. I think it was Granny's batch. Too much heat without flavor. [/LIST] [*]Like: [LIST] [*]I enjoy Angel's Envy Finished Rye. It's pricey (to me), but I find it worth it (and the bottle is cool). My local store didn't have it for a while. I bought a MUCH cheaper Redemption Rum Cask Finish and I think it's pretty good. [*]I'm in agreement with [USER=138]@Deepelm[/USER]. I like everything I've gotten from Barrel. Seagrass, Dovetail, and I recently bought a second bottle of the Armida. The Armida seems a bit polarizing. I'd say it's not really a bourbon anymore. Kind of like a brandy, or even a super high octane madeira. [/LIST] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
