Mixing good bourbon is akin to putting Italian dressing on your venison or putting sugar in your cornbread.
You are correct, Sir. Same goes for GOOD shine. No mixing, no chasing , just sippin'.

The main problem with that statement is that there's no such thing as good shine. If it was good I don't think they would've ever started aging it in charred oak barrels.

Plenty of good , smooth shine , with taste. I happen to know where some white corn and rye are, you are welcomed to come take a test drive. You can't judge all shine by that tractor fuel they peddle at Gatlinburg . I used to coon hunt with a old feller in PRV who was a master whisky maker. He'd take some of his white magic and put about 15 gallons in a Jack Daniel's barrel and roll it about 90 degrees every week for a month. 110 proof Gentleman Jack, mighty fine. But I always liked his white better. BTW, the aging of sour mash in oak barrels didn't begin as aging at all , it was for shipping purposes . And as far as charred barrels , that was a mistake , a whisky maker in Kentucky had a order to fill. There was a fire that charred and smoked the wood . He made the decision to use the barrels anyway. Shipped it to New Orleans (I think) , rest is whisky history.

I know why they push that flavored stuff up in Gatlinburg . Good white whisky shouldn't be made into some kinda "pie", just like there shouldn't be sugar in cornbread.

Neat. Maybe a cube of ice.
Sugary sodas or mixers ruin it for me, like putting ketchup on a steak.

my normal, "every day" Bourbon is Old Forester. If I want to spend a little more money, it's Buffalo Trace or Bulleit.
IMO, Maker's Mark is way overrated. I'm not saying it's not good...it is. It's just not nearly as great as its reputation.

Woodford for the house and 4 Roses for fancy.
I noticed the mint in the garden is making a come back. Me, the wife, and Jim Beam do our best every year to kill it by making mint juleps.
