They have one finished in a Caribbean rum cask that's solid (Edit: Dewars that is)

If you like that you should try the four roses small batch select. Great stuff

Seconded on the small batch select, but as a life long bourbon drinker (and I think i've popped in here to say this before), Evan Williams is a great cheap sippen bourbon if you like them on the less sugary side. Since it's essentially a rail drink, it gets overlooked by people who have some money to spend and are getting into bourbon since it's so cheap. Even though I have always keep some basil haydens and a couple "new try" bottles around, I almost always go back to Evan Williams as my evening sippen drink.
Also, makers mark is sugary trash.

I’m convinced Evan Williams white label and old grand dad 114 are the best values in bourbon.

have you tried Stranahan’sColorado Rye? It’s really good medium body whiskey. Nice to sip and not a total waste in mixed drinks (price point wise)
If you love Oban you need to try Kilkerren.

I want to love wiskey - but I have not developed a taste for it straight / rocks.
I have enjoyed and old fashion so I was piqued by Facebook ad for Low and Slow Rock and Rye.
I must have destroyed my taste buds as a kid with warheads or something...
I don't really taste orange, or honey... it tastes like wiskey - but one that I... "like" ? So i guess that's good... I guess all those added things to make it do make the flavor where I like it...but I still don't /taste/ the individual things.
Lots of reviews say it has a harsh orange - like orange liquor added to rye wiskey... I just don't taste it... /shrug/
Hurm, I'll drink it

I've found these guys to be a very good resource as well, for whisky lovers new and old. I've tried dozens of their recommendations for Scotch, Irish, and Bourbon whisky. When this pandemic BS is done, I'd like to visit their tasting room in Austin. Its only a few hours from home.
