Semi converted. I still love my scotch but bourbon is more fun. Btw, dude by heb has balvenie doublewood 17 that I am picking up on way to company ranch this Friday. Can't wait to try it.

I've had some expensive scotch and I honestly like burbon more. I guess my poor arse can't get acclimated to the rich taste.

I like it, but I just don't see myself splurging for a bottle of it anytime soon. Maybe things will change, or maybe I'll be a dumb redneck for the rest of my life. I'll take knob creek over just about anything

I've had a ae, weller 12, and etl. All good stuff. Love the price of bourbon over scotch. Still have Balvenie 21, macallan 15, tomatin 18, and Balvenie 12 dw though.

That's some fine scotch. I was a huge fan of the 12 year then I had the 17 year. It's pricey, but well worth it.

They say that by mixing weller 12 and old weller antique 107 you get something similar to pappy.. I've done it, it's good but surely not pappy good.

You're talking about the BT experimental wheat? I haven't had it but the general consensus is that the BT exp isn't worth the price tag at $50 per 375 mL
