I find most Bourbon to be that way. That doesn't mean bad, but I just find it very lacking in overall complexity.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I’m the opposite, I find bourbons more complex than Scotch, more flavour, more enjoyable.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Picked this up.
Working in Nevada and came across this. Wow! Impressed.

I'd say more mouthfeel for sure and probably more flavour due to the sweetness but I agree with Bob re: complexity.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The whisky fits the stereotypes. Americans are big, brash, fat and in your face whereas Scots are humble, subtle, thin, but can still pack a punch.
Picked this up today.

Is that a small town thing?
I'm a something and anything kind of guy. That's a low class thing. I like to counteract some of the classy dudes in this liquor sub-forum.

Student life.
Can anyone give me a recommendation for a collectable bottle of bourbon? I want to get a client something really special.
Budget between $500-1000
I don't think I've ever even seen a bottle of bourbon for more than $250 Canadian. Thats like Scotch pricing you're looking at.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

This guy is a collector, I know there are some very expensive bottles out there, I just want to make sure I’m getting him something good & fairly rare or hard to get.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
For example look up Pappy Van Winkle's 15 Year Family Reserve
I just have no idea if something like that is good or not.
If you want to set money on fire pappy is a great way to do that

Basically any bourbon over $250.00 is secondary market prices. The PVW doesn't cost much at retail but you aren't finding those at retail anywhere. It's a good bourbon but prices are inflated. As a collector he would definitely appreciate it if you got him one or any of the following Stagg JR, George T Stagg, PVW, Elmer T Lee, WLW, EHT (not small/single), or Weller (CYPB). Keep in mind none of these bottles are that expensive at retail but getting one is not easy so should be appreciated.
If you want an expensive bourbon to show you spent some money get the following. It's not that great and it's hard to come by though:

Have you seen the Netflix thing about all the stolen Pappy? I think it was called the Heist or something like that.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Pappy is a great bourbon. Not bad quality at all.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Is it 20x better than a $50 bourbon? No
