Smooth entry level? First thought would be Elijah Craig. If available, EH Taylor BiB is another smooth solid choice. Neither as sweet as Angel's Envy or Eagle Rare, but those are both too syrupy sweet for my taste, try Elijah Craig and see if you like smooth with a bit less sweet.
You might also want to try some wheated bourbons, they can be sweet and smooth. Maker's 46, Welller Special Reserve, etc....
Discovering your jam is half the fun!  |
Elijah is around, I see lots of it, never tried it. Maker's... I know the normal is here, I am sure the 46 is too. Again, never tried Maker's anything...
Thanks for some ideas.
