Michigan was late to the game getting distribution... but it was originally available... Bourbon has been available consistently... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,393 #6 Posted November 29, 2024 I've never found a place in Indiana that carries it and I've never tasted it but I did want a bottle to display. Somehow this found a way into my truck when I made the Elgin road trip to pick up the Dino C-121. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,774 #7 Posted November 29, 2024 My brother-in-law was a big bourbon sipper. When he'd come to visit from West Virginia, I'd always have something here for him to drink. I don't drink alcohol any longer, so not knowing any better, I just decided to get a bottle of Wheel Horse. He poured some into a glass, didn't say anything, but I noticed that bottle was not touched again. After he left, I decided to taste the stuff. I used the rest of the bourbon for paint stripper. 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 69,357 #8 Posted November 29, 2024 I've never been much of a drinker of hard stuff until just a few years ago. As you can imagine we all have preferences but also, some brands are specifically meant to be mixed, and some sipped by themselves. I have no taste for bourbon or scotch but I don't mind rye at all if it's the right one. WH rye is ... OK. If I want a good sipper I get Russell's Reserve 6 years aged. Glass of ice. That's the stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,142 #10 Posted November 30, 2024 The WH stuff is 100 proof and strong so it's not necessarily made for the casual whiskey taster or a whiskey connoisseur. I've definitely tried much worse. If you want to add something special to the bourban shelf, go with Angle's Envy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
