Thank you for the recommendation. I've had Whistle Pig, and it's excellent. Another friend of mine is a small batch bourbon aficionado and when we get together we always sip some fine small batch that he has found. But my friends tonight are not bourbonheads, and because I'm not in a financial position to buy $100 bottles of bourbon for these guys to make whiskey sours with. it's going to be a $25 bottle of Bulleit. If I have a premium small batch such as Whistle Pig, it's going to be for sipping, not mixing.

Bulleit is a perfectly respectable spirit to serve friends. I have bottles of Woodford Reserve and Four Roses in the cabinet, comparable to your Bulleit. I used to be a “Scotch guy” but I’ve migrated to bourbons. I never even knew rye until one time meeting a pal on travel he ordered us up a couple manhattans (which I’d never had).

I feel good about this game... I think our D knows how to rattle DC.

Fun fact, the house I bought in St Joseph Mo was built by a whiskey distillery family who's early products were sent west with the weather expansion and gold rush. If you ever see Red Top Rye that's the Westheimer family.

Bro, that is a fun fact! Next time I’m in a fine establishment and ask for a Rye, they say what would you like, and I reply well what do you have … if that name comes up its getting ordered! Red Top.

for sipping I like Woodford..... which is more mid range....

Basil Hayden is very good too. I worked part time at BevMo and as much as customers asked me questions, I turned around and asked them. The more you know…

Let's go, Brandon Staley!

I don't think you can get it anymore I just looked and I see lots of antique bottles for sale but nothing current. I did find this though..

Bulleit is a step above the brand name whiskeys such as Jack Daniel or Jim Beam. And I like it better than so-called premiums such as Makers Mark or Crown Royal. For sours I mix it one oz fresh squeezed lemon juice to two oz bourbon with simple syrup or agave in a shaker with ice, and pour it on the rocks in a glass, unless someone wants it up. It makes a very tart cocktail, and I can't see using a super premium small batch for these. A decent bourbon such as Bulleit works well.
