Why no love of the Irish bourbons?

Bourbon is not produced in Ireland. It is uniquely American.

Well I guess that's a damn good reason huh!

As I said not much of a whiskey/ bourbon drinker.

Recent sippers (opened on New Years…celebrating a work promotion)

Blood Oath Pact 6
Blood Oath Pact 5
Weller 12
Orphan Barrel 21 soon will be all gone… :-(
Weller 107 / Weller Special / Blantons / Eagle Rare (tied)

True “daily sippers” though for the future:

Weller 12. Still too pricey though to truly be a viable daily drink.
Weller Special (good value wheater)
VHW Port Cask (recommend readers try - great value bourbon / scotch hybrid taste)
Uncle Nearest
Blantons

Sometimes Bookers is nice as well. But that’s high octane.

WT101 straight up ruined me on bourbon hunting anymore. A $17-20 bottle that drinks better than most of the bourbons I've had and hunted for. It's hard to justify spending the time and money

Bingo. Nailed it.

Seconded.

I was sitting in a bar a few nights back (my usual spot, the bartender has a WT101 waiting for me when I sit down), and some dude I didn't know was talking to me about bourbon, since obviously as a WT drinker I was an amateur.

He was going on about how amazing some Unicorn bottles were, trying to impress me with his knowledge. The bartender, a personal friend of over a decade, knew what was coming.

After being asked if I had ever heard of Pappy, and being told that I had, I asked the guy if he wanted to step out to my car for a minute. The bartender was trying not to laugh. He had been out to the car with me a few days prior.

I had my travel case in the trunk from a  small bottle share with close friends a few days prior. The weather has been nice.

His shock was... amusing. I poured him a little of each, told him it was nice to meet him, and ordered another WT101. That place sells it for $6.95 a pour. Best value in the house, and I don't have to worry about whether I can ever replace it.

I still think the Bomberger's is the best of what I poured him.

I fell into the bourbon BS pretty hard, initially. Gotta find Blanton’s, EH etc. To much time, money for me. While I do very much enjoy EH and ER, Blanton’s is kind of meh for the hype.

Never thought I’d be a WT drinker, but you guys are right. WT101 and Rare Breed are fantastic. I also enjoy the hell out of OGD114 and Woodinville.  I enjoy the higher proof stuff the most.

Although I don't have a lot of different experiences yet but of the ones I have tried, E.H. Taylor barrel proof is a favorite of mine.
Yes, it's been hard to find - it seems like I am seeing it more often.

I was scrolling through this thread and saw that I had already posted.

Only change I would make since then is (since there is basically no 14 year old Knob Creek available around here) is to substitute New Riff BiB for that.

Just so happens that I am sipping some Belle Meade Reserve tonight.
