Yes, it is a nice one.

BamaVol Jr is currently touring Bourbon country. He texted me a picture yesterday of himself standing next to an old man that he says is the Wild Turkey master distiller. I'm not a fan and don't think BV Jr is either, but I'm not familiar with any of their non-Wild Turkey product. I told him to rub the guy's head for luck and move on. In the picture, he is holding a bottle with the number 10 and letters that look like they spell Russell's Reserve.

I see Mila Kunis is now doing commercials for Jim Beam Honey Bourbon. That was surprising.

I picked up a bottle of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey at duty free at the start of a vacation a while back. It was wretched.

I'm thinking Crown Royal Maple would give it a run for the money. I would try neither, but have heard from others who have.

Crown Royal Maple? Not Bourbon, and I suppose better than Crown Royal in which the predominate flavor (to me, at least) is the caramel added to soften the otherwise mostly grain neutral spirits of the blend. Crown Royal in our time is a scam equivalent to what Chivas Regal was to drinkers 50 years ago, over-hyped, over-priced and over here.

"Jack Daniels Honey"? Just buy Southern Comfort to mix with your 7 UP like college girls used to prefer in my youth. Also works with a bit of lemon to assuage a sore throat.

Drinking while pregnant?! For shame! :mad:

I was gifted a bottle of Jefferson's Reserve bourbon yesterday. Cracked it open at the end of the work day and had some with a co-worker. Pretty smooth.

Your craft whiskey was most likely made in Indiana.

Updated brand/producer list

Breckenridge Distillery can now re-claim the title since Two Guns Distillery closed earlier this year.

NPR:
Why Your 'Small-Batch' Whiskey Might Taste A Lot Like The Others

Steve Ury is an attorney by day and Recent Eats blogger by night who is tracking where the good stuff comes from. He tells All Things Considered's Audie Cornish that over 50 different brands from different companies appear to be bottling whiskey from this big Indiana factory, which goes by the name of MGP — Midwest Grain Products.

Ury says that one of the tell-tale signs on the bottle is the wording. "Does it say it is 'distilled' by that company, or does it say it's 'bottled by' or 'produced by' that company? That sounds like a small difference, but it has a big legal meaning."

He also looks for the recipe because the Indiana distillery uses 95 percent rye, which is very distinct. That's a red flag that it might be from Indiana.

Way to burst my bubble TWA - most of my favorite Rye's are frauds. I don't think I'll pay the premium for Whistle Pig anymore. IMO, Bulleit is still brilliant for the $$ though.
