I am so far into the bourbon's that neat is the only way to go. Some friends that have been in the tasting and collecting hobby a lot longer than me have "bourbon burnout" Everything tastes the same. They have changed directions to Tequila and rum. I'm not there. I like ryes and they are complex and always changing.

I like the ryes but honestly labels appeal to me. If I see something with a cool bottling I will buy it out of curiosity to try. I know it’s not the way to choose bourbon but it’s fun.

I have a close friend that is a label reader. He has bought some great off brand bottles just by reading the tasting notes on the label. I pick a few by tasting notes from you tube videos. After a couple successful buys you can trust that their choices align with your palate.
 
Oh ya, I watch a lot of whiskey tubers and have fun getting on when they do their live videos. It's fun. I have won bottles and received a bunch of samples.

This is true. I try to steer clear of the run of the mill. I know a lot of people who like Makers Mark. Personally i am not a fan.
 
Just for fun I looked through my list. 12 Bookers, 16 Cedar Ridge (local to me), 19 Elijah Craig (all but 3 are barrel proof and most are picks), 10 Jack Daniel's Single Barrel/Barrel Proof, and 17 Starlight bottles. Starlight does about everything but they do a great job with Ryes especially finished ones. Cognac, Sherry, and Stout are favorites.

Lol. That’s an incredible collection. I don’t have the room for a collection so I purchase as I go. I do like Elijah Craig.

I obviously do. It is a good solid bourbon. We have done a barrel pick or two of EC. Oh I forgot Knob Creek. 11 of those. Damn, after adding all these up I see I have a problem. LOL

Elijah Craig line up..jpg
 
I think Anheiser Busch has changed there advertising theme since the disaster earlier this summer. A Busch ad with some very manly looking campers scaring off a black bear by opening a can of Busch :rofl:
