Just Rambling I Guess...

I just have a few questions I need some help with!

1 - I have recently found ET 354 and I absolutely love it. The problem is, my normally well-stocked package store has been out for 3 weeks now and they don't know when they'll have any! I "heard" from another store that they had discontinued the line. Any truth to this? I sure hope not!

2 - OK, if someone says they like an American whiskey that tastes like bananas, JD products come to mind. What product would you recommend if I wanted an in-your-face sweet corn flavor and finish? How 'bout caramel?

I believe ET354 is just regular ET that has all been aged in new barrels, whereas plain ET is aged in some new, though mostly used, barrels. Ive not had the 354, but If i were a big fan of it and couldnt find it, I cant imagine regular ET being too different in profile to not be able to temporarily substitute it.

Corny........try Mellow Corn or George Dickel.

caramel.......Maker's 46 comes to mind first, with its heavy caramel-vanilla profile

Carmel & Vanilla? You have to try Wild Turkey Rare Breed. It is one of the best bourbons in existence if you ask me, and at a price will not break the bank.

Cheers,

WTRB is a nice one, currently my number 3 favorite. I think the new 112 proof version is better than the now-extinct 108 proof version. at $32 here, you cant go wrong with it. If you like WT101, this is a big step up along the same profile.
