I Live in KY and am fortunate to be able to get Heaven Hill's bottom shelf bottled in bond products. A few years ago white label HH 6 year was readily available and superior to many mid shelf 30-40 bottles. But the secret got out. A brand ambassador once told me that it was HH's gift to KY.
Samuels is still available but only in 1.75 handles at big volume stores. It's not HH white 100 but it's really good. There's good oak on the nose with lots of sweet popcorn and vanilla in the initial taste. It evolves in the glass but only slightly toward a touch of caramel. It's got all you want from a mid priced bourbon except for the price.
It makes a killer Manhattan or old fashioned.
I'm not going to rave as I don't want the secret out.
