    Possibly both.
    It's a very easy drinking bourbon. I can understand why women might like it.

    While more of a cousin to bourbon, a friend recently recommended Gentleman Jack to me. Were he not a trusted pal, I never would have tried it. Very good to my taste.

    It was my go-to for many, many years.

    Jack Daniels was always our requested whiskey as under age drinkers 'cause that's what the rockers drank. Year later, when I ran bars for a living in the late 1900's, I was a teetotaler 'cause you don't get high on your own supply as Tony taught us. I remember being indignant that JD went from 86 to 80 proof while raising their price per bottle and I swore off the brand even after leaving the bar world and picking back up my own rocks glass. Just in typing this I've realized I'm still fairly F them for that stunt, but I'm a bourbon snob anyway so F them twice.

    That said, I'll cheerfully have a glass of Gentleman Jack, their Single Barrel, too. If I'm ever offered their Sinatra Select, that'll be a yes please and thanking you. You've committed no sin that these aging eyes can see, go in peace, my son, there is no absolution to give here.

    I have a bottle of Little Book Chapter 2, and like it. But I do tend to enjoy cask strength stuff with all the extra horsepower.

    If you get a chance, snag a bottle of there new stuff from Old Forester. It's a 100-proof rye they are selling for $23 a bottle. It's really good at that price point.

    And I was talking with a friend at Balcones this afternoon, and they are releasing a new $30 bottle - called Texas Pot Still Bourbon. They do not use any column stills, which frankly I consider a good thing. It's harder to work a pot still, but the effort is worth it.

    It's 24 months old, and aged in new charred oak barrels, so it qualifies as straight Bourbon. Mashbill is Texas ingredients - blue corn, wheat, rye and malted barley. I think it's also going to do very well at that price point. I'm driving down next weekend to snag a few bottles at the release party.

    Congratulations!

    My brother gifted me a bottle for Christmas. While no my go-to, it's still good and will go toward stocking the bar that my father recently built for me:
