80 Strong Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

[Joe Riley]

This is a private label which has a short but checkered history, and despite the goofy website and marketing, it's worthwhile Bourbon, and here's why:

It is Bernheim Distillery, wheated Bourbon, from 2006.  80 proof.  Obtained by KBD, sold to the folks who make Redemption and Temptation Bourbons and rye.

It's very limited, and really quite good.  Retails for less than $30, too.

Given that wheated Bourbon is becoming more difficult to obtain these days (other than Maker's Mark, but even they have shortages), this is a momentary bright spot, as this won't likely still be available beyond the spring.
