My brother turned me onto this wine and it's a great Sauvignon Blanc for $10

I've now tried the Jim Beam Apple and, meh, it's not as good as the peach. I also got a bottle of the Crown Peach, and y'all were right, it's VERY sweet!

Oh well, good times, And I still have my Vodka and Costco Garlic/Jalapeno-stuffed olives to fall back on if this peach stage passes..
You might not like real bourbon or whiskey. That’s ok. Nothing about those fruit whiskeys is like a good bourbon/whiskey.

A variety of notes with hints of sweetness. Aging can bring on all different tasting notes. I don’t care for scotch and Peaty notes.

Okay, that actually makes sense.

As a bourbon noob and not so much picking up on the subtleties, it's the barrel and sweetness for me. I can mix it with all sorts of things to add a little of both, and have also been drinking some Elijah Craig lately that's freakin' smooth and doesn't need anything added.

I have a bottle of Macallan 10 and just can't get into it... it's also very smooth, which I can appreciate, but just don't care for the flavor of it straight and haven't even found a good mix for it (not that I've tried much).

I'm a scotch guy myself, but i love bourbon too.

I have a 25 year macallan that I procured through a golf tourney that I'm waiting for a Chiefs back to back SB win to pop.

I had a sweet bottle of Pappy's but fucking OTWP 58 has nine damn lives.

Heh, I figured someone would find that sacrilegious. :-)

I'm keeping it around, figured one day I might gain more of an appreciation for it.

People keep talking about "sweetness" in their bourbon. Honestly, that might be the issue for me. For example, I don't really like wine unless it's REALLY dry.

Have you tried any rye bourbon? I’m not a fan but it’s more heat than sweet

Just preference.
Tried a couple of Bourbons at Fox Cigar Bar and Lounge last week and they just were too harsh for me. Elijah Craig and Buffalo Trace. Tried them neat.

I guess I'll always be a scotch guy, Oban 14 being my go to. :-)

The explosion of craft bourbons, and more recently of high barrel proof bourbon, has made the experience of trying new bourbons much more interesting. I have traditionally been a big scotch fan (Lagavullin Distillers edition and Macallan 18 year being my favorite), but more recently have dug into the craft bourbon world. If you like wine barrel finishes, Dave Phinney's Savage & Cooke produces some really interesting selections. For high proof, two recent favorites are from Woodinville and the single barrel selection at Peerless.

For scotch fans, you might have fun expanding your horizons to look at Swedish and Indian whisky. From India, Amrut and Paul John are making some great single malts. In Sweden, Mackmyra, Spirit of Hven and Box are also making great whisky. The style of most of these is similar to lowland scotch so a bit lighter for those who aren't into the big peaty scotch flavors.

I've drank quite a few "nice" scotches in my day. I'm somebody that tries something over and over and over again until I'm convinced I don't like it. All that and I'm not made for scotch drinking.

Now I'll never turn down a good liquor and I'm guessing I'll come to the same conclusion the next time around, but your tastes change.

Bourbon suits me much better right now.
