If you have only ever had JD you will wake up a realise that you have been drinking a sub standard product all these years. I would never drink standard JD again after trying Bulleit, Woodford and any other number of superior Bourbons and American whiskeys .

​I've never tried WR. BT is beautiful but shouldn't be more than 18 quid on offer. Bulleit is good stuff as it's robust enough to taste the difference in a mixer or with water (solid or liquid state). Bang for buck, though, it's hard to beat Jim Beam at a tenner a bottle.

If you can wait a bit, Amazon had tons of offers over the Black Friday period last year. I picked up some lovely Mellow Corn and Rittenhouse Rye, both BiB and, therefore, 50 abv.

Not much in it. Either would be a good buy at the prices quoted.

I tried the rye version, didn't like it at all, but the regular bourbon I've been through 4 bottles this year. Woodford Reserve is similar, between the two I find Bulleit smoother, and goes well in a mixer also.

I'm not a whiskey connoisseur tho, tend to prefer smooth easy going bourbons.

Yes. And yes.

​Yes, slightly more peppery than the other but not like a totally different experience - for me at least. Still lovely.
