Good bourbon

Changing things up with some Balcones this evening.

Back in the summer, a friend left a bottle of Rowan's Creek. No idea what the price is. Label says small batch, 50% ABV, made by hand, seems like an independent effort though I could be wrong. BearsDeacs, have any history?

Yeah it's a release by KBD (Kentucky Bourbon Distillers) - the same group that does Noah's Mill, Johnny Drum, Pure Kentucky XO, Black Maple Hill, Willett, etc. They source their whiskey and bottle it under various labels.

Thoughts?
 
Just picked up deadspin's #1 cheap bourbon, old crow reserve. Aged 33% longer than Regular old crow. Actually pretty tasty on the rocks. Think I have found my new bourbon and ginger mixer for $19.95 for a handle.

Check out Evan Williams BIB (Bottled in Bond) with the white label. It's slightly more expensive at $13.95/750ml and $27.95/1.5L according to the NC price list, but I think it's a better well bourbon. Plus it's 100pf so it handles ice and mixers better.

This is that one that I originally posted as not being interested in, since it will be a wheat whiskey instead of a wheated bourbon. After I've thought about it though I'll definitely pick up a bottle to try...might be a very unique offering.
 
For the Wild Turkey fans:

WT will celebrate Jimmy Russel's 60 years at the distillery with the release of WT Diamond Anniversary.

"Diamond was blended from 13- to 16-year-old Wild Turkey barrels
hand-selected by Eddie Russell."

"Beginning in May, Diamond Anniversary will be available only at the
new Wild Turkey Visitors Center until August, then expand in limited
release to key markets around the country in the fall, with a suggested
retail price of about $125."
