I am finding that how I judge the bourbon depends on when I drink it and with what. For example. When I saw that Odan, a sctoch I tried and liked a lot was $104 a bottle I ambled down the aisle to look at the bourbons. My history with bourbon was always OGD 100 drunk recreationally usually in the dead of winter, in the woods before we went to some more expensive club. We are talkaing mid-70's and beyond. Anyway....I went to bourbon section asked the kid working there what was "good" and he said....Buffalo Trace is very popular. So I bought a 750ml. I liked it that night...two days later, after dinner...it didn't taste as good....a few days later around midnight, it tasted great....two days later mid-day, it was so so. Being this is my first post and I don't have the 'whisky vocabulary' and can only relay my impressions without the whisky speak. My two cents on this. BTW....someone gave me a liter and so far, 6 ounces are gone and it has been very nice indeed. Not great, like my Basil Hayden or Noah's Mill, but nice.
Life is too short to drink cheap beer or whisky.
