81 - Undrinkable
101 - Very good “everyday” bourbon.
Russell’s Reserve - A step above 101
Rare Breed - Truly wonderful. Tied for my personal all-time favorite bourbon (with Knob Creek).
Kentucky Spirit - Outstanding High-End bourbon with very high alcohol content - perhaps best left to the professionals
That’s my opinion of their major brands.
PS - I’m still disappointed beyond description that Wild Turkey have discontinued their 101 proof Rye Whiskey.
Many thanks...I commend you for the in-depth research..
