Definitely the best of the three I’ve tried. 
Hit up the local Specs. Might luck out and pick up a Stagg. Have seen a couple of reports of it dropping in Dallas this week. Still Austin Blue Corn has also been pretty abundant recently too.
Bourbon slushy... mid grade bourbon, lemonade, and iced tea dumped into a home slushy machine.
Pretty damn tasty actually!

Been a while since I’ve bought one of these. Still a tasty SiB.
I’m very, very new to the whiskey/bourbon rabbit hole. I have a buddy at work that’s really into it. He’s always giving me samples. So the journey has been “Well if you liked that, try this”.
That’s how I got the Heaven Hill. I had tried the Wild Turkey Rare Breed and liked it so he told me to try the Heaven Hill. The Rare Breed was good but at 116 proof it was a little hot. The Hill at 100 was just right.
Anyway, I’d like suggestions from you guys. If you liked that try this.
Thanks

Don't be afraid to add a little water when needed. Evian is a good choice. Sadly the days of matching retail distillery water are long gone; "Weller water" as an example.
If you can find or your friend has an older 108.3 proof Rare Breed try it, the latter higher proof versions do not even come close IMO. The higher proof single barrel Russel's Reserve may also be to your liking. Same with plain jane Wild Turkey 101.
Heaven Hill is the parent of Evan Williams, Elijah Craig, Fighting Cock, Henry McKenna and a slew of others. You will find those to your liking as well in the more aged/proofed versions.
Both of the ones you tried have Rye as the flavor grain. Another distiller to try is Four Roses. They use much more Rye and are unique in their approach with ten different mash bills.
Thanks for your input BTW.

My favorite!!! 24A is wonderful! When I cracked mine open I got a lot of Carmel to the nose. It did not last long!
STAGG. Dark cherry, burnt carmal, & cola… no mint/spearmint or any odd flavors I have found in a few others.
Sweeter than I prefer but coconut as expected and typical dank stout profile. Stupid for $24 but but definitely enjoyable and unique. Complimented it with the 4
OESV. Very nice.I have a vanilla rye stout I picked up too.
Had the Jai Alai DIPA tonight and it’s good. This is delicious as well.
Started a little early with the Clynelish 14. Gave my wife my Christmas list with Aisle and bay numbers at my favorite place. Going to try some new whiskies this time.
Enjoyed a few tastes today after picking up my barrel.
276. 23 cases, 3 of which are gone already. Still have the other 6 guys from the tasting yet to claim theirs. Then I’ll know how much I have left. PM me your info and I’ll send you a bottle.
