What is meh about it? I haven't had it yet, probably pick a bottle up next time I'm in MSP because Iowa liquor selection is poor because the state controls the distribution.

I know it's a wheated bourbon and not everyone likes that.

It a so-so Bourbon IMHO and just my personal opinion. YMMV
My tastes in Bourbon may be different from some, I like a plain simple Bourbon. Take Woodford Reserve for example, many sing it praises but it got too much of a syrupy like taste to me, can't stand it.

Bourbon is for rich women on diets.

Honestly, I can't remember if I do or not it's been so long since I've had it.
Right now I'm slipping some Old Forester

This month's happened yesterday... I was in the local Randall's - a sort of megabooze store - and I looked in their $9.99 cart (mostly flavored vodkas and wine of unknown provenance) and there was a bottle that said "Old Tub" on it... Well, I figured may as well look, and it is a bourbon that is occasionally produced by the Beam people...
 
Not too shabby.

I'm off alcohol until I lose a few pounds, but a few weeks ago I bought a liter of Korbel brandy because that's the one they like in Wisconsin and I wanted to see if it's really any better than EJ and Christian Brothers.  Well, for making an Old Fashioned I'm not sure it's worth the extra cost but for sipping it's way better.  It'll probably be my winter warmer this year.
