I may glance at a rating system to get a feel for a whiskey’s value. But in general, I don’t have a lot of use for them – having been disappointed one too many times.

I find the tasting notes for Maker’s and Booker’s ( my 2 go-to bourbons)to be in alignment with my tastes. So, I trust Peter’s opinion. That’s why I’m here, lurking… 🙂
