Type: Straight A solid drinkable bourbon that is also cheap
Straight whiskey (or straight whisky), as defined in United States law, is whiskey that is distilled from a fermented (malted or unmalted) cereal grain mash to a concentration not exceeding 80% alcohol by volume (abv) and aged in new charred oak barrels for at least two years at a concentration not exceeding 62.5% at the start of the aging process.[1] Domestic sales of straight whiskey surpassed 27 million 9-liter cases in 2021.[2]
The only allowed modifications to straight whiskey prior to its bottling consist of batching whiskey from different barrels (and sometimes from different distilleries, although only from within the same state), chill filtering the whiskey, and adding water to reduce proof while retaining at least a 40% abv concentration. This definition is established for production of American whiskey for consumption within the United States as per the U.S federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits.[1]

A solid drinkable bourbon that is also cheap
The 10 year old version of an already good whiskey for just a few dollars more.
A decent high rye bourbon of the old school.
An interesting experiment in salvage.
A more complex and fruitier Jack that is a bit more plush.
A very civilized Tennessee Whisk(e)y of wonderful complexity. Highly recommended!
This whisky also uses a higher proportion of corn than most bourbon, proprietary yeast strains and single story warehouses -all of which contribute to the uniqueness of the whisky.
Cheaper and better than Jack.
The other Tennessee Whisk(e)y – much older, more muscular and flavorful than the other Tennessee Whisk(e)y .
I’m pretty sure if Parker Beam was still alive he would drink this – it’s that good.
Delicious, complex and smooth everything you might want for a great price.
The Microsoft of Tennessee Whisk(e)y Rough around the edges and fairly straightforward if you like that kind of thing.
An excellent Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey from on of Our Favorite Brewers ( they make outstanding beer too !)
An older style bourbon that just seems a bit tired and light compared to their others.
Spicy and slightly dry. A bit less complex than I personally like. Price is moderate to high for what it is,. But good bourbon of any variety is getting harder to find!
No longer a whiskey I would recommend. Better cheaper stuff out there now.
Interesting and well made, but not to my personal taste.
A good bourbon of a drier style, that is not as common as it used to be.
A bit uninspiring and tired for a 12 year old.
