The Whiskey Shelf
The first whiskey I ever tasted was Glenfiddich 12, and it was a remarkable experience. The drink had a rich maltiness and a delightful complexity that opened my eyes to the vast universe of whiskey. It sparked a newfound passion in me, and I was eager to explore more. Soon after, I picked up a bottle of Elijah Craig 12 (which sadly no longer carries the age statement). My fascination with whiskey grew, and I began to travel to different distilleries, eager to see the origins of this beloved spirit and sample as many varieties as I could.

In the 10 years between bottles, bourbon has been flipped on its head. It’s become outrageously popular, all sorts of distilleries have opened across the US, new liquor stores have opened (physical and online), and for some reason people go bananas over certain brands and bottles most paid little to no attention to before.

As I just mentioned, Weller Full Proof is the relatively “lighter” bourbon (because 57% ABV is still no joke) that’s more bright, vibrant, and fruity. There’s sweet honey, vanilla, dried cherry and apricot, roasted oak, clove, orange peel, cinnamon, and a little dried grass and ginger. From my experience, Weller Full Proof and Weller 12 Year feel the least like the “usual” wheated bourbon that’s more orange, cinnamon, and clove-forward.

Old Forester and Jack Daniel’s have a similar focus on dark caramel, roasted oak, creamy banana, oak spices, and this above average viscous mouthfeel and “nosefeel”. Old Forester just turns up everything that’s in Jack Daniel’s minus the grass and nuts, making it the more enjoyable, interesting, and developed bourbon for me. If I didn’t already know that these came from different distilleries, I might think that Jack Daniel’s was the cheaper version of Old Forester.
