Thanks for the heads up on both the Bulleit and BT. I may try them both some time, but don’t think it will be my next purchase. Ive never been a huge Rye fan as most that I’ve tried have been fairly harsh. So I’m thinking the Woodford Double Oak will be the one I go in for. Unless I see something else that causes me to change my mind. I’ve been looking up a lot of different reviews and I for sure want to try the Double Oak WR, and the For Roses single barrel. There were two others (the names are escaping me right now) that I want to give a go as well.
However, Blantons has been pretty much the “Standard” I’ve heald all my other bourbons to. So far, none have come close. It’s the only one that I will actually crave the flavors from. I do need to also get another whiskey glass my Glencairn-style Glass got knocked to the for a while back and broke. So I’ve just been using a regular straight walled “Whiskey” glass I got for free from Fireball whiskey. (Let’s jist say, how little I drink and how full our liquor cabinet is with stuff I’ve bought just to try. My wife isn’t a fan of me buying new stuff lol, so she’d probably frown on the new glass purchase hahahaha)

Congrats on the stagg jr.  I love that stuff and think it's honestly pretty easy to drink for the proof.

I also think makers 46 is a huge improvement over standard makers.

Picked up a couple bottles today to try out!

Good choices!

I couldn’t decide, so I got both! LoL

I wants some Elija Craig as well, but also a couple others I wanted to try they didn’t have.

*Edit*

So I just tied both. While I don’t have any tasting notes right now. I tasted both bottles tonight against Blanton's Single Barrel. I have to still say Blantons is Still my favorite. Between the two bottles initially, I think I liked the Woodford Double a little better than the four roses. The Four Roses had a little longer burn time. It was still good in its own way and I’ll give both another go soon. That was just my initial impression.

*Edit Edit*

Okay, so I went back and had a little more of each, and now, despite the longer burn time I think I like the Four Roses flavor profile I got this 2nd time. LoL I think I’m going to have to give them both more time for me to make my final decision on which one I like better. I still really enjoy my bottle of Blantons though. LoL

It's been a while since I've had it again, but I just remember it tasting very medicinal.
