Four Roses Small Batch. Cultures Hick, give this one a try. It may suit you better than the 1792.
Greggj77, no need to nurse your bottle. When you're ready, I can assist.
1792 Ridgemont Reserve Barrel Select
Edit to add barrel select
Normally I drink Weller or Rebel Reserve, (usually neat or with a little ice), and like them very much. But wanting to expand my experience with bourbon I purchased the above. It was a mistake . It has a very unrefined alcohol taste and not much else. I added some ice and that really did not help. I guess it would be OK mixed with cola, but that is not for me. I do have a friend that thinks EVERY bourbon must be mixed with Coke. I guess I will save this bottle for when he comes over.
You should have read AVB's review of this one. He mentions the same thing you did about the flavor. His review is why I never bought a bottle of that stuff...he's usually spot on with these things.

Four Roses Small Batch is sooooooooooooooo much better than the 1792! My palate is not very refined but I can tell you it has almost no alcohol bite and a creamy vanilla finish. This may even be better than Weller 12yr. I will have to compare them side by side one day.
Thanks for the recommendation and enjoy the evening!
