They have changed it. 3 times since 83. Keep adding more water to make more $$$. Originally it was cut to 91 proof. Then to 86. Now to 80.

as for the whiskey recipe. That's why I drink it straight.

Evan Williams 1783 and Single Barrel aren't terrible.

Is some of that due to legislation?

Recently tried this for the first time. To my knowledge, it was the first wheat whiskey I'd ever had. Very smooth, not as sweet as a Bourbon or a Tennessee.

Also picked this up for a try. Not a Beam fan usually but I read a good review for it so thought I'd give it a taste, very pleasantly surprised. The process they use to make it, and the resulting derivation for the name, is pretty interesting.

 

[theFallGuy]

the Jack Daniels with honey sounds gross to me. I don't like my drinks sweet. Makes me ill.

 

[theFallGuy]

For the record, I was only referring to the lower tier Evan Williams sour mash

My wife brought it home one night and I told her she was never allowed to buy liquor for me at the liquor store again.

Wheat whiskey typically is sweeter than other whiskeys.

I love "wheated" bourbon - it's a touch sweeter than its counterparts.

As a fan of wheated bourbon, I'm waiting for a special occasion to open a bottle of Jefferson's Presidential Select, 17 yr that my dad bought for my birthday last year. If you're a fan of wheated bourbon and ever run across this, you have to try it.

Interesting. Through this blog I learned that Makers is a "wheated" bourbon. May explain why I like the Maker's style compared to many others.

Shows you how good my palete is, I thought it was really good but slightly less sweet than most of the bourbon's I've had.

I guess it depends on what kind of whiskey you've had

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

The honey isnt really sweet, just a slight honey aftertaste. Its best served very cold

 

[golfballs]

It's sweeter than any whiskey I drink
