What is the hype with the White Dog Mash? Grabbed a bottle of it and it tasted like I thought it would. Unbarreled bourbon whiskey. I think more of a novelty than a tasty product. I love Buffalo Trace, but now I understand why this was originally only sold in the gift shop.

I think it is just a novelty, but to me it is a tasty novelty. Its interesting to be able to taste the product so you know how much barrel aging really affects the whiskey.

Like Macsauce said both Malones or Sals are good. If you hit Malones I highly recommend the bone in filet. If you're looking for something other than a steak Bellinis is nice on Main St. Enjoy your trip (assuming its not already over)

Also Murray's! and again for a lunch or 'snack' Alf-Alfa's downtown is really good!

Finally picked up some Bulleit bourbon. Pretty nice. I was hoping for a little more to it. Fairly mellow, but the flavors that are there are pretty nice. Maybe I've just been drinking too much Weller 12yr recently.

Good to hear. I saw it for the first time last weekend. I have to finish off the Blantons before I buy another bottle of Bourbon.

I guess I've just missed something with the Bullitt! Had a bottle gifted me 4-5 years ago, and I found it to be almost too harsh to drink. I gave it away, with only 2 drinks poured out of it. Haven't had the desire to re-try. Maybe I'd better look for a small bottle, and see if I am missing something, or if Bullitt just doesn't agree with my tastebuds!!!

I heard it was fairly spicy, but I didn't really get that. The more intense flavor is the more I like it, with anything.

I agree I like the small batch four roses better than the single barrel. Although given the choice I'd gladly close my eyes and drink either.

I'll pick up a bottle of WSR and see what I think. Maybe tomorrow.

I generally avoid cheap booze because I hate the hangovers. Although frankly even Jim Beam goes down plenty fine with me and that's like $35 for 1.75 liters. However, cheap tequila....

Good tequila

Yea WSR > Jim Beam for sure. They are usually the same price. I've been wanting to try the small batch FR forever. Single Barrel is excellent IMO.

Don't hesitate, the small batch is very good especially for the price. ~$28 or so last I remember. I've definitely killed a few bottles, and I'll say they didn't last more than 2 ...MAYBE 3 days. Very tasty.

I just don't have the money to buy bottles anymore. I really had to convince myself to buy that Bulleit, haha. I drink way more beer (homebrew ), just have small pours of bourbon here and there. It's definitely on the list though. It's around $23 here.

Is anybody going to The Bourbon Sampler in Bardstown Kentucky? The sampler is one of The Boubon Festival events. All of the major distillers are present and handing out samples of their bourbon in glasses with their logo. You may keep the glasses. In addition, local restaurants and caterers have tables with various food items. It is a great opportunity to taste various bourbons and meet master distillers. The cost is $40 and well worth it.

Me personally, I bought a bottle, drank it, and walk past it now. This applies to the new Early Times release as well.

Alright I have to admit I was going to pick up a bottle of WSR but this bottle of High West Rendezvous Rye caught my eye. So I scored that instead.

I just picked up (I have got to stop convincing myself to buy stuff, hah) Bulleit Rye 95 for my first Rye. Not bad. I don't have anything to compare it to, but I was expecting it to be a little different.

I tried some of this last night. Definitly was missing something. It didn't have the sweet, spicy that I've had in some ryes. I think I'll stick to the regular Bulleit.
