This bourbon is probably the best value you can find. It is the perfect bourbon for any boozy bourbon cocktail, with enough vanilla, caramel, and fruit to have that classic bourbon character, but it spicy and funky and complex. People overlook WT101 as something for a more unsavory crowd. But this stuff at 101 proof is tough to beat. You can drink it neat, with a splash of water. It stands up to mixers and cocktails if that is your thing. Maybe the only thing I’ve tried with WT101 that did t quite do it for me is a sour. It is a little proofy for a sour in my opinion. It’s flavor profile is not extremely complementary to the lemon. But it is great in a boulevardier, makes the best Old Fashioned for any bourbon in the price range, and is also great in a fancy free cocktail with maraschino liqueur.
