So um, Bourbon thread? Yeah, Bourbon Thread.

I’ve tried the Holladay after @Scott Hall recommended it, it’s not too bad. I’ve had the Penelope toasted bourbon, that was OK but not my favorite. I usually like toasted but not Penelope. Never tried the Bardstown, is it available regularly in Lincoln? Holladay and Penelope I’ve found pretty easily at WBS and Wall2Wall. Mostly I just want the Wellers to try them and I’ll probably look for a bottle or sample of Bardstown now also.

Bardstown just started distributing to Nebraska in the last week or so. Fairly sure I saw a pic of wall2wall in Lincoln having the whole lineup. Did you try the red soft wheat from Holladay? That’s their only wheater. Larceny is another wheater that’s easily obtainable. I also enjoy Rebel barrel proof, which is also a wheater.

There are a handful of different Holladay, so look for the Soft Red Wheat if you like wheaters. They have a bottled in bond and Rickhouse proof, I believe.
Penelope Toasted is going to be entirely different than their Wheated, which is pretty new.
I have no idea of the availability of Bardstown in NE. I live in MO, and we just got it toward the end of last year. I used to get it in IL.

I grabbed a bottle of the soft red wheat from Cornhusker bottle shop a few weeks ago. It’s pretty good too. Also found myself a bottle of Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition there, that is an excellent bottle but it’s expensive.

Pumped about finding this one at a tiny shop I’d never been to.
Also had these 2 for $50 each, which was shocking

Old man wanted to try this, grabbed it for him. Red wine and bourbon dont seem to match my profile of bourbon but he enjoyed it, I thought it was only ok.

Not a huge fan of it, but I’ll drink it if I have nothing else.

I can say the same. Anything finished in wine casks ends up a ‘No’ for me.

Bardstown is something I can get my hands on, but they’ve got a ton of different bottlings. Is the basic bourbon any good or is there something specific I should be looking for?

Their Origins BiB is solid. The Wheated is very good. Both $40-50 around here. The Discovery Series are typically good, but typically $130-150.
You are right though, they just have a ton of offerings

Yup, my dad and I both thought it was just OK also. We both usually really like the sherry cask finished bottles that a lot of bourbons seem to make so we thought we would like it more. Rum cask finished bottles are usually pretty good too.

I can’t remember the different bottles they had at my closest store, but I’ll give it a longer look next time. I do know the cheapest was $100 with several in the $300 range.

Bourbon shouldn’t be that expensive in the south.
