Americans - I Need Help Choosing A Bourbon (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I've got a mate whos a big fan of Bourbon. He's tried all the standard brands like Buffalo Trace, JD, Jim Beam and Wild Turkey.

I want to get him a bottle for Xmas of something he might not have tried before, something I can say was recommended by Americans as a good bourbon. Doesn't need to be some weird flavour like Red Stag, just old fashioned American bourbon that maybe flies under the radar in other countries.

Sold in 2014

Good to know I went on my first toured before they got bought out.

Recently went on a tour and didn't think that much had changed tho.

I like to buy from vineyards and distilleries I've been to. But conglomerates are buying everything up :/

I went in August 2014, and while they had a new cask strength blend they were doing, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

I did get to dip a bottle of that new stuff and still have it. I can't remember how they explained it to me, that it wasn't the first run but was still the first batch, or first batch but not the first run or something. Anyway I figured some collector might want it some day, or maybe I'll just drink it when I find out it's worthless in 20 years. It's still decent bourbon!
