You people who spend a fortune on bourbon, shoot me straight…

I’m a poor boy who rarely drinks and works through a bottle of Gentleman Jack in probably a year and a half. How much better is the higher shelf stuff?
If you aren't drinking that much bourbon, I'd grab a bottle of Buffalo Trace and call it a day.
 
It’s always been political but it use to be fun…. Now it is just political commentary.
Too bad your screen name does not have Jane in it. I would for sure call you an ignorant (something)....



FTR, I do not believe you are ignorant, but loved the skit between Dan Akryoyd and Jane Curtin.

I’d stop drinking bourbon altogether and sip on some scotch. Specifically Balvenie 12 yr doublewood. Delicious.

It depends on what you’re looking for and how much you are a creature of habit. Wild Turkey 101 is cheap and a wonderful example of classic bourbon tastes. Now, if you are looking for that type of flavor profile, and you are a person who can repeat the same things over and over, then there’s never any reason for you to spend more.

If you want to find new subtleties, then you have to branch out. Take the Chattanooga whiskey I mentioned earlier. I don’t get the classic cherry in it that is in WT 101. To me, there’s more of a strawberry note to it. I like that oddity and so I keep some of it on hand for when I want that flavor.

I'd say significantly, but it also can be palate dependent and proof preference. I've always found my proof sweet spot to be 100-115. As such, stuff like Rare Breed, RR SiB, WTKS, OF1920, OF1910, Four Roses SiB, John J Bowman SiB, Baker's, Makers Cask Strength (the 46 cask as well), Knob Creek 12 (very available in some areas, others not so much) are all generally available as well as being solid pours for their price tag. Each are in the $50-$70 price range as well, which isn't insane given the current bourbon market, and definitely worthy of a splurge over Gentleman Jack at least one time.
