Bourbon suggestions

[ss88]

Its a show about modern US marshalls in Kentucky and they all drink bourbon. Pappy Van Winkle gets name dropped a few times, check it out, its a great show.

Ah, sounds good.

Doh you replied quicker than me, almost as quick as ryland givens draw. Boooom

That's because I have the forum open on my PC at work looking for intellectual stimulation from my fellow BOTLs (or should that be BsOTL?)

I have managed to locate some bottles of Col EH Taylor's small batch and Single barrel 50 % is it worth grabbing a bottle while I can priced at ?81 plus VAT

Also I enjoyed some of the rittenhouse rye last week which I found quick nice and soft and easily approachable

Have you looked into the Williett 4yr single barrel rye? Very tasty rye. 110 proof so it has quite a hit. It should be reasonably priced.

Absolutely agree with you on all counts. I have a 1/4 of a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle left, amazing stuff but I've had that drop for 3 years now due to the shop I bought it from being unable to source any more *cry*.

The Eagle Rare Single Barrel I grabbed last visit on the hunt for a Pappy replacement also hits the mark.

For a fuller Bourbon I like Elijah Craig, spicy xmas cake with a great finish.

You really have got my attention with W.L. Weller, it does sound very similar to Pappy.

I won't say that the W.L. Weller 12yr is going to be a direct replacement for Pappy. We have a hard time getting Pappy over here at MSRP as when it comes out it is quickly gone (there is a waiting list most places). A bottle of W.L. Weller can be had for $25 (here) give or take. It is about as close a flavor profile to Pappy as you are going to get. This is an excellent link as it has quite a few of the Buffalo Trace brands broken down by mash bill. http://bourbonr.com/blog/buffalo-tra...on-mash-bills/

Both Pappy and W.L. Weller used to be produced at Stitzel-Weller hence the similar mash bill. The only Stitzel-Weller juice left from the original supply is the 23 yr. Everything else has been turned out at BT. There has been some noise that Diaego is going to start up production at S-W once again. We shall see.

Pappy van Winkle is amazing but impossible to get hold of. Need to try W.L. Weller if it's meant to be similar (I think I've tried the uncut stuff and recall it being awesome). Agree with you on the Elmer T Lee - the rye makes it nice and spicy, but not overpoweringly so. Eagle Rare 17 is almost syrupy and so unique in flavour - deep and rich, a real treat. It's difficult to get hold of in the UK, especially at a good price, but it's one on my list to buy as soon as possible. Finally, I'd also suggest Blanton's Special Reserve for a smooth and slightly sweet bourbon.
