Jim Beam Black.

Has been my go to for about eight years. Now I see it's "the worlds most popular bourbon".

Time to switch to something else, being the contrarian that I am.

101 proof? Doesn't that run hot on the pallet?

Not as hot as you'd think. Seriously, worth a try. I'm a rocks guy, and it's about perfect for the money. But then, there are plenty of bourbons at twice the price that aren't as good.

That said, steer clear of the 81. It's awful.

It would be graciously accepted. There's a new bourbon being produced in South Alabama that I'm interested in trying. All ingredients sources in Escambia County. It hasn't made it to ABC stores this far north yet, I don't think. Dettling, I believe, is the name.

Will do. I'm curious as to what the effect the hot and humid climate will have versus that of KY.
