Here's my current stash...not a huge fan of the Michters but the rest are delish.
I see your Lexington in the back and that's some pretty good stuff too.
Also, I am not a fan of the Four Roses single barrel, but the small batch is one of my faves
All bourbon is whiskey. So more like Fujis and Granny Smiths...

Have you tried their OESK or other recipes? Best bourbon I've ever had that you can actually find. I don't like their small batch at all.
All Tennessee whiskey is required to be straight bourbon whiskey by law. The sugar maple coal filtration is unique to most Tennessee whiskeys. When it's all said and done, naming conventions for whiskeys come down to 3 things: ingredients (mash bill), production process, and/or production location. One these factors could be different and you end up with two different names of whiskeys and the same product in the bottle.
I don't think Jack tastes like bourbon and anything that is mixed with coke more than on the rocks or neat doesn't belong in the conversation with the great bourbons!
Try the 23 yr old Pappy...I've got a friend in Louisville that runs in the same social circles with Julian and I've been fortunate to have both the 12 & 23!
Never said that and I totally agree. I do like a Jack and Diet on the reg in the winter tho.
To each is own, however I haven't mixed brown liquor with a soft drink in 30 years and I can't figure out why I ever did! Once you get use to water or ice with Bourbon or Whisky you will not look back...something pure about this version as the people who invented Bourbon and Whisky didn't have soft drinks to contaminate their brew!
I like my bourbon on the rocks or with water as well, but a bourbon legend mixed his with a soft drink. Elmer T Lee, the master distiller, who created Blanton's and his namesake Elmer T. Lee, always mixed his bourbon with Sprite or 7-up.
I've never had the 23, but I've had the 20 and it wasn't as good as the 12. Everyone who I've talked to says the 12 and 15 are better than the 20 and 23. I've had them all except the 23.
I think Weller 12 is best of the bunch. I don't think Pappy is all that great just the rarity and legend is good. It does have a good snob factor and is a good special occasion drink ala Dom
You keep up these compliments and you got a fall fishing trip to Cane Island in your future.
