The Wheated Bourbon story I mentioned in the show. www.fredminnick.com/2020/03/30/wheated-bourbon-challenge-that-one-time-old-rip-lost-to-an-everyday-bourbon/
I know vodka sucks in compared to sipping something neat like bourbon, but nothing wrong a nice refreshing Moscow Mule on a hot summer's day (Kentucky Mules are great too!).
You can't even find Weller Full Proof in upstate NY, maybe single barrel (if you're the luckiest person that day) @ $150, online the cheapest I can find Weller Full Proof is $189.99. What's amazing to me is that it is being compared to a $41.99 Maker's Mark Cask Strength. You just can't beat this price on any cask strength (except Old Grand Dad 114 @ $26.99) and its quite tasty!
Your comments on "the best vodka" - If vodka is supposed to be colorless, odorless, and neutral tasting, isn't the "best" vodka the one that is closest to perfect blandness? The one with no standout characteristics at all?
Every time I'm at a liquor store looking at whisky, someone asks for what's a better vodka. And the booze jockeys always upsell them to Tito's, the MGP, Indiana NGS from Texas :-)
Hi Fred. This video is Unlisted. Not sure if that was deliberate on your part or not. I was able to get here by clicking the link in your email, but it doesn’t show up in your list of videos when I go to your RUclips channel.
the Weller is tasty from what I remember. I havent seen it here in north Alabama in about 5 years though. . I did pick up Maker's Cask for $39.99 the other day. Pretty tasty and available.

If you see this could you answer the yeast question which is one I was also wondering about. Much needed comparison on this one, thanks!

I always get a cinnamon apple crisp like taste from the Maker’s that I really love, I definitely get the pepper and caramel but I get a little more

Fred, do you think the bar top barrels could add some “age” to the regular Makers Mark?
Harry Bear's restaurant! Nice call Fred! Looking forward to you coming to Tulsa.
So stoked for that
What are you favorite online sites to buy bourbon from?

Sometimes after a live video that wasn’t streamed thru RUclips interface, which this wasn’t, it takes longer to process once done.
But are they fill chiltered?
The classic line. Lol
Tickle the tip? Nice!

I have a love hate relationship with makers... cask strength was a real disappointment for me. Larcency BP is really what i was hoping it would be.
Larceny is try soft.
Maker's CS is the only Maker's. Weller is not as it was.
