The grades:
A Florence: Pretty much exists to piss me off, like Woodford Reserve Double Oak
A Mister Bentley, fun to have around, but you may not be inviting him back. Like Maker's 46.
A George: Costs too much, but I still don't regret it, like Colonel EH Taylor.
A Weezie: My wife tells me how her brother was drawn to Weezie as a kid and didn't understand why. There is a lot going on with a Weezie, you just might not understand it, like Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit.
A Tom Willis: Smooth as they come. Like Pappy Van Winkle.
Now to the bourbon!
Jefferson's Straight Kentucky Bourbon: This is the "entry" level bourbon from Jefferson's. Tastes great, but not quite worth $30. I give it a Mister Bentley.
Jefferson's Reserve: I'll have to get back to you on that one. Don't currently have it.
Jefferson's Presidential Select 17 Year Old: If there was ever going to be a Tom Willis, this is it. You drop a dime on it and say money well spent. (It is the old release, if you ever see it buy it, as good a bourbon as you'll have.)
Jefferson's Presidential Select 18 Year Old: I have to give it a George. It's pretty much the same as the 17, but slightly rougher with more bite. Still worth it.
Nothing like a set of bourbon reviews without the words, oak, cinnamon, vanilla, spices.
Fantastic! - BHC
