i think i WILL!!!! - Crimsoninja
did you ever get around to buying the small batch?
the single barrel is too much money but i'm reading great things about the small batch and i'm waiting for your feedback (no pressure).
btw, i changed my mind about buffalo trace overtaking four roses yellow label as my favorite bourbon. four roses is my #1. which is awesome because it's like 23 bucks around here.
okay. bernie is interesting. you can definitely tell you're tasting a different kind of whiskey.
but i gotta tell ya, i don't know what all these reviewers are going on about when they say this isn't as "rich or intense" as non-wheat whiskeys. i guess it's a little smoother, but it's actually pretty "intense" and there's actually more burn to it (on the tongue and in the chest going down) than a lot of other whiskeys that i have sitting on my kitchen table right now (although tbf, i have only tried it with no ice or water. i'm gonna try the next glass with a couple drops of water).
it's good though.
it was only 26 bucks too.
i am on the lookout for other wheat whiskeys (W.L. Weller, Larceny, Topo. OYO, and Rebel Yell are the only others i've read about but none of those were in the stores i checked today. there was something called Washington Wheat Whiskey, but i've never heard of it so i stayed away.

I tried Rebel Yell a few years back and was generally unimpressed. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts when you get around to trying it.

Big fan of the Elijah 12, had a few at the local whiskey bar on Saturday. Great bourbon for the price. - aschuter82
tried it again. last time i said i preferred the knob creek over the elijah, but i've since been able to try a whole bunch of bourbons, and i'm getting an idea of what i do and don't like. and i gotta say, knob creek is nowhere near the top for me anymore, and the elijah is awesome.

sure, but where do i get it?
the nice lady said she could tell me that it's available in PA but because of their strict rules she couldn't see what stores in PA have it in stock. - kicksave856
