So as not to derail the Single-malt whisky thread…
I still need to try Jim Beam. Haven’t yet. As for Knob Creek, it’s intriguing that you like it better than Maker’s Mark. I think this calls for a side-by-side. Maybe go down to the bar, and tell the wife I’m conducting research for Comparative Alcohol Appreciation.
I have some Trader Joe’s Kentucky Bourbon in the cupboard. It’s not something I ‘sip and enjoy’, but I’ll sip and appreciate a drink every now and again. This site gave it a poor review.
SHARE WITH: Friends who have been drinking a lot and you want to see if their taste buds are still working. You know, for a good laugh. WORTH THE PRICE : I’ve had much better for less. BOTTLE, BAR OR BUST: If you’re looking for something as a mixer where Bourbon isn’t the dominant ingredient, like a cola, this might be worth having. For the most part, I’d rate this a bust. For my fellow Bourbon & Banter writers, I took one for the team. OVERALL: … I found this Bourbon to be an overall disappointment and earns its position on the bottom shelf.

- DISTILLER: Undisclosed, but evidence points to Buffalo Trace’s Barton 1792 Distillery as the source
