Pappy (and most of BT's bourbons) are stupid overrated. Once the hype dies down (which will happen after enough people drink it and are disappointed) it'll go back to being another expensive whiskey for people that can't handle the spice of a bourbon with rye in the mash. People playing at being sophisticated are buying into the hype. Pappy, Blanton's, all of that...just status symbol whiskeys.

For the price of a bottle of that future piss, I could bang a few pretty good looking whores. I'd prefer the latter.

I'm cut back on hours at work so I'm back to drinking Clan MacGregor. I don't even notice the grain bite anymore. Guess I'm growing up.

I figure I'd best conserve my good stuff.

Sorry to hear, have you tried J&B? Or cutty shark? Maybe depending area famous Grouse?

If really hard up, I'll pour you a few fingers of the Dalwhinnie.

I've had Cutty, J&B and Grouse (big fan of Smoky Grouse for scotch & soda). I've got some good whiskies, but I'm saving my Highland Park, Laphroaig, Glenrothes etc for when friends are over. For just getting fucked up, MacGregor does the trick.

I recently quit drinking, mostly as a means to save money but if I ever do decide to drink again, I think I would go for a classic American whiskey like Jack Daniels or Wild Turkey again.

I do love Scotch a lot, but my favorites are Irish whiskeys and Bourbons.

I apologize for the thread necromancy, but I am thinking of getting back into bourbon.

I'm a common man with common tastes, so I am thinking of going to my usual choices of Jack Daniels or Wild Turkey, but I have also considered trying Old Crow or maybe save up some extra money and try a more expensive bourbon like Jefferson's.

Dude, no. Old Crow is absolute hot trash. Go with Wild Turkey.

I do like Wild Turkey. Never tried Old Crow, but given it's low price I'll probably follow your lead and go with a bourbon I know is good.

Next time I get paid, I'm getting a fifth of Wild Turkey 81, since it's the same basic flavor as 101, but slightly cheaper.

Old Crow either saved my life or nearly killed me, it used to be a high end whiskey and now it's a rot gut.

Needs a woke rating.

Since I did another back to back blind taste test again last night, Makers plain is better than the 46. Both in taste and clearly price.

Lots of people talking Wild Turkey and the like, but I've always been partial to Bulleit for cheap bourbon/rye. I never like regular Wild Turkey and the high-proof stuff also doesn't taste quite right either.

I want to say the people who own the Bulleit brand had some product placement in a movie, so the whiskey types started to shy away from it. Whiskey snobs are just like craft beer snobs, they pay attention to who owns what and what they do with the brand.

Which is entirely appropriate. Whiskey has a knack for quality degrading at a stupid fast pace.
