Any bourbon drinkers on this forum?

Yes, Yes....

We can get that here, and it's quite cheap!!! I've gone through a bottle already (with the wife's help) and we have a second one slightly sipped. Usually, all we get here is expensive and over-rated, but the Bulleit is really good stuff.

I mentioned about it to the owner of one of the top hotels here (Hotel Matilda) and now it's their "bar" brand of bourbon. He's a member of our little group and a Smith fan as well.

Jim Beam Devils cut or Michter's small batch are both very good. For the Irish, try Bushmills Black Bush. Jamesons is always good. One a day is plenty for me now.

 

[Ogandydancer]

Two words Makers Mark. I am also a fan of Bushmills and Glenlivet and Glenfiddich. First bottle of whiskey I ever bought when I turned 21 was Johnny Walker Red. Still buy one occasionally. Also like Austin Nichols Rye and Wild Turkey but not 101.

Try Black Maple Hill if you can find it. Elijah Craig 18yr is also a very special treat. Still cheaper than a quality single malt scotch.

That's my story, too, and Im stickin' to it. I have made a lot of converts to Overholt over the years. It has stayed fairly cheap while a lot of other whiskies have gone way up. Right now, I'm sipping Bulleit Rye. The price came down about a third several months ago, and they seem to be selling a lot more now; good stuff, and the bottle is really cool.

When I drink bourbon, it's usually Jim Beam, or Basil Hayden for something more upscale. It is made of 49% rye, which is probably why I like it.

I can't stomach the sour corn flavor of that Tennessee product, although it starts to go down easier after the first five or six shots.

My favorite way to drink whisky is around a campfire, over a plastic rally mug full of store ice, not that nasty chlorinated stuff you get out of the ice trays in your refrigerator. I don't usually drink much at home, except over the last month or so, when misfortunes have poured down on my household like rain. Even so, it's still just a belt or two.

Ut-Oh....

Pretty happy and pain free, now that you mention it.

I also ended up with a couple of guns that I don't clearly remember how I came to own them.

Was Capt'n Keith anywhere in the area? I'd be look for missing N-Frames...

 

[armadillo]

Funny you should mention that. I stopped at the store this afternoon and brought home a bottle each of Knob Creek for everyday use and one of Blanton's for special occasions.

Hello! Did Smith and Wesson ever produce a quality handgun?

 

[galena]

I agree with Marshwheeling above; "........although it starts to go down easier after the first five or six shots." ............and that skinny gal at the end of the bar starts to get a lot prettier too. I did my share of various Bourbons and Canadians for way too long...can't handle very much anymore but for those who do........enjoy. Keep shootin and check 6

 

[Dragon88]

Anyone tried Buffalo Trace? I wanted to try something different today and went for a bottle of this. It's going down quite smooth as I catch up on the forum tonight.

 

[charlie sherrill]

I don't have any real favorites. I skip around a lot. My current choice of bourbon usually depends on how rich I feel at the moment. When I'm out of town I frequently splurge on some of the pricier stuff, especially if I'm in Kentucky or some other whiskey/bourbon rich enviroment. I've tried all of the above and like them all. I'm currently sipping on some Rebel Yell. I learned during the "Great Bourbon Shortage Of Hurricane Katrina" to keep a good supply on hand. I buy the 1.75 liter jugs by the case and when they get down to three bottles I go get another case. This usually keeps me with at least a three month supply. I'm thinking that if a shortage goes any longer than that I've got enough warning that I can make my own.

 

[ACP230]

I have Old Crow and Knob Creek on hand.
Old Crow is my cooking whiskey. I use it when I make drunken pork, or
chicken.

The Knob Creek bottle hasn't been opened yet. I have been drinking
more wine than anything else lately, and not very much of that.

 

[sheepdawg]

When it comes to Tennessee Whisky Jack Daniels is for the tourists. Use it only if your mixin' it with something like Coke. yuk Now if you like sippin' whisky this stuff is the ticket, no chaser needed either cause it's smoother than silk.

I was a Maker's Mark drinker for years, George Dickel Barrel Select puts it to shame. Knob Creek, Buffalo Trace too.

 

[CO_Kid]

While not a bourbon per se, y'all need to try Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey. It's not like anything else out there. Not a drastic change mind you, but just different than anything.

 

[bluegrassrules]

My current favorite is a Four Roses single barrel ...makes a great manhattan too. And ditto CO Kid on the Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey.

 

[byteheed]

Mmmm, Basil Hayden with a splash of well water. And maybe a Honduran maduro.

 

[1morethan8]

For those who demand the best...
and know the difference.
