I am getting into some Bourbon Blends and just ordered some Sutliff Whiskey, which is Old Granddad, I am told. Sutliff also has Bourbon and Bourbon Street. The last one is a match to the old Bond Street, which has more flavors.
Sutliff Bourbon is a very smooth smoke, truly like a Velvety Kentucky Bourbon
Borkum Riff Bourbon Whiskey is about as good, with a slight chemical hwang
Super Value Bourbon Whiskey is pretty good, different quality, though not tasting cheap
I have some very old Bourbon Blend made by American Tobacco from the Seventies, I think. It's a little more potent due to age
Frogaeii truculentus (@truculentfrogs) has posted (WAYS) about Holger Danske Blend. I have a tin of that on the way, as I love their other tobacco so much I feel it's a must.
Comoy's #5 is also on the way. Any thoughts?
I have a tin of C&D Strathspey, which would be Scotch Whisky (no E), but that is in the "will try someday" dept.
Curious how others feel about the Bourbon/Whiskey/Whisky blends feel and what is their pleasure

I like Moonshine XXX - a really nice, smooth English-aro bourbon blend. And of course, FMC. The only other I recall trying is Highland from PS, I think. Not my thing. Too much Burley for me, and it didn't taste like whisky. Looking forward to the tin of Bothy Flake I have, though.... Btw, I am not even going to touch the grammar in this thread title, david!  |

For years I avoided whisky blends, even disdained them, but in that never say never mode, I will learn along with you.

I have a pouch of Erin Go Bragh you can have. Scrooge sent it to me the sneaky lil' bugger. Says Irish Whisky on it in bold letters.

Comoy's #5 is also on the way. Any thoughts? Curious how others feel about the Bourbon/Whiskey/Whisky blends feel and what is their pleasure I've heard negative reviews concerning Comoy's Cask 5 but haven't tried it. Some say that it is a weak attempt to cash-in on some famous rye whisky which has nothing to do with Comoy's. |

...early experience with Borkum Riff soured me on most of the whiskey flavorings...

regarding bite: the HD Black and Bourbon is palate friendly. I can't see it biting the majority of pipers.
