I'm a fan of Bulleit. They, to me, have always been really good. It will probably be my weapon of choice at Black Moose in December [cheers]

Work in progress. I can start a new thread for details if y’all want it out of this thread.
Before. This space is in our sunroom and used to have a built in bench here. Plans morphed from keezer to bourbon bar as I cut my beer consumption down.

Tony's endorsement made me watch it! good video. One question: They're in Virginia...how do they have a bourbon?
-
To be labeled a Bourbon it only has to be made in the US with specific ingredient ratios.

Bourbon has to be 51% corn, can’t be more than 160 proof coming out of the still and ages for min 2 years in a virgin charred white oak barrel. The Rye/Wheat and Barley content car vary. There are other requirements that you can Google.
Bourbon in KY tastes different than the bourbon made in other states because the water is all naturally limestone filtered.
-
Does the limestone make it better?

Absolutely!
If you have Netflix, watch a documentary called Bourbontucky. Fred Noe, son of Booker Noe and great grandson of Jim Beam tells about people always wanting him to taster their “bourbon”. He says, that is a fine tasting whiskey, but it ain’t bourbon. LOL.
There are some non-KY (no Clarke, not that KY) bourbons that are made where the water is filtered in limestone. One that I recall is Widow Jane which is made in NY but the water in that part of NY is filtered in nature by limestone.

You didn’t like it? It’s a wheated (not rye) bourbon. Pappy is also a wheated bourbon but aged MUCH longer.

Never again meaning I’ve never seen it again. Good stuff for sure.

Ah, cool. Great bourbon for $20. They had a few cases at Roswell Beverage a month ago.

Thanks for making me less ignorant. I thought it had to be made in Kentucky!

Good catch by Mike about the barrel and aging requirements, too. But the part about Kentucky is a common misconception.
