Good tell those filthy Maple syrup guzzlers to shove it! Same issue with Pendleton Whiskey, pretends to be from Oregon but is in fact Canadian. The Canadian by his very nature is a liar. A nation with no culture or identity of it's own beyond putting gravy on fries.
Evan Williams is actually a pretty solid value, yes there are better whiskeys, but not for $13. It mogs on many whiskeys twice the price.
Bulleit is pretty good, though it is an MGP product. But know what else is an MGP product? A good portion of "craft" whiskeys (looking at you whistle pig). MGP (segrams) essentially has a recipe list other distilleries can pick from. Whiskey is a huge financial outlay as the product takes years to make, very few craft distillers actually make their own whiskey if they are new to the market, exceptions like Woodinville and Dry fly sold white dog while their straight whiskey aged. But the former was a pet project of a tech millionaire and the latter offered vodka gin and other products. MGP does makes some great products, but it is kinda like if you had a fast food restraint and went out and bought MC Donald hamburgers and then wrapped them in your own wrapper.
Old Forrester is Good, it's like the Platonic vision of bourbon.
I have a wide range that I like but you may be right, I’ll be going to the store on Friday and I’ll update here. Looking forward to trying it, always like suggestions.
