Since all my hands grew up and moved out I no longer have the farm, but I still have the place down in the flatlands near town... we can sure 'nough pull a cork and jaw. Plenty of room to park your horse trailer, but the corral is small... just don't bring near as much stock. I got good water and sweet grass.

Marshwheeling...right now Templetonrye Rye is only distributed throughout the state of IA, limited distribution to Chicago and NYC (due to the Al Capone connection). What part of MN are you in?

In the other [boot] he kept a S&W slip gun made up from an old cut down Victory model.

You can make a slip gun out of a double-action revolver? I'd like to see one of those.

You haven't been reading the posts here in The Lounge - Have you?
I'd guess bourbon is one of the lighter reality enhancers being used

++1 for the Templeton Rye also I just started a bottle of
Wild Turkey Rye VERY good

 

[TdocZ]

I'm more of a scotch drinker, myself but when indulging in bourbons I prefer Bulliet, followed by Big Bottom and Jimmie Black. I've never between a JD man, not since high school. Cheers!

 

[pineappleshooter]

You're kidding right?! Boubon drinkers on a gun forum! Preposterous!!!!!!

 

[guy22]

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.

With Tennessee Whiskey any George is king. I love Maker's Mark also.
Anybody tried Evan Willams new honey, cherry???
Figured girls must like them. Then so some guys???

Woodford Reserve for me

 

[kscharlie]

My favorite is Russell's Reserve. Very smooth. Followed by Maker's Mark, Gentleman Jack, Jack Daniels Single Barrel and Knob Creek. I never used to care for Scotch, but I finally decided to try a bottle of the "good" stuff, so I bought a bottle of Glenlivet. Good Scotch is good, but I still prefer good bourbon.

 

[NE450No2]

I used to drink Wild Turkey 101, but about 10 years ago one of my buddies got me on Scotch.

There is no such thing as bad scotch, but some is a lot better than others...
Single Malt Laphroaig 10 years old is my favorite. Over ice, my ice comes from my near 600 foot water well...

Durring the day, especially in the hot time of the year, I drink Gin and Tonic, or just straight Gin over ice. Bombay Saphire, is my Gin of choice.

 

[jcjhl69]

My current favorite is Crown Royal Black and I always enjoy Crown Royal Special Reserve.

Try telling that to old Irv...

I just got back from a gun show in Slidell, La. Booze is cheaper in Louisiana than it is in Mississippi. I just bought four jugs (1.75 liter). Two are Buffalo Trace, one is Evan Williams, and one is Ezra Brooks. I already had an Old Charter and a Rebel Yell on hand. That brings me back up to case status. Since the "Great Bourbon Shortage of Hurricane Katrina" I have vowed to never get below a one month supply. I also bought a two lb. porterhouse and a couple of bottles of local wine. I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank fellow forum member "Bootlegger Max" and a little brown truck for his greatly appreciated assistance a few days after the hurricane. I will forever be indebted for this act of kindness that enabled me to subsist until things returned to normal.

They invented bourbon to keep the field hands out of the Scotch.

As a true bourbon lover, I am deeply offended by that remark, suh!

It is funny though.

I like a good shot of Glenlivet now and again, myself.

No wonder they always insisted the field hands were "happy." They were.

 

[BrainOnSigs]

Currently in the rotation of the wet bar:

Bookers
Basil Hayden
1792 Ridgemont Reserve
Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve
Old Rip Van Winkle Special Reserve 'Lot B' (12 Year)
Woodford Reserve
Buffalo Trace
Eagle Rare
Wild Turkey Rare Breed

All enjoyed in a crystal tumbler with frozen soapstones.

 

[smitty_bs]

Woodford Reserve followed by either Knob Creek or Maker's Mark. Sounds like I need to look into this Dickel's stuff though - not familiar with it.

 

[wuluf]

I don't always drink bourbon...
But when I do, it's Maker's Mark.

I prefer Irish, Single Malt Jamesons
or Scotch, 12 yo The Glenlivet, but

it's all good!

 

[robin48]

Makers Mark is nice, most of the time it's Buffalo Trace for me.

[Smithy]

Buffalo Trace is my "House Bourbon." I keep some Elijah Craig 12 Year around, too.

 

[Utlityman]

Drinking bourban

I personally enjoy Angels envy, woodford reserve, and Maker mark 46 all are fine drinks but if your not careful they break the bank.Just my 2cents.

 

[Big Fred]

I really enjoy a sip of bourbon once in a while. This is what I usually keep in the normal rotation. I've gotta try that Dickel Barrel Select. That Tempelton Rye also sounds interesting

 

[1wwall]

My, My. As a newbie here I am always finding nice info and surprises! Woodford Reserve or Knobb's Creek for me TYVM.

 

[WrongWay]

I've been reading the different posts to this thread since I started it. Got a lot of good whiskey to try. Came home today with some Bulleit Bourdon, and their rye. Bulleit Rye is supposed to be made from 95% rye mash. I'm sippin' some now, very smooth, spicy and enjoyable.

 

[Bedrockk]

Bourbon?! Yes, please.

 

[Springfeildkid585]

Jack Daniel's IS Tennessee Whiskey NOT Bourbon which is from Kentucky and an entirely different recipe.

I like Rye Bourbons like Weller.

Depends if you go by the legal or common definition. By NATFA Tennessee Sipping Whiskey is a bourbon. Common definition says Kentucky. I wouldn't call it an entirely different recipe.

 

[PALADIN85020]

Are you kidding? What a question! Bourbon is to whiskey as Lamborghini is to automobiles. Smooth, satisfying, flavorful Bourbon beats nasty Scotch hands down anytime.

My father, being from Kentucky, was a Bourbon fancier, and a very knowledgeable one at that. I learned from him, and also believed that I.W. Harper was as good as you can get. Unfortunately, you can't hardly get it any more. The Japanese have a lock on importing all they can get to their island, leaving us stateside folks in the lurch. I have a little of it left over from my father's stash; the last I drew from this bottle was in 1987 when he passed and I toasted his memory with family and friends.

In later years, an old man with wisdom took me by the hand and introduced me to Rebel Yell. I consider it to be very close to the original I.W. Harper. As a matter of fact, if you look at this picture, you will see that they are contained in identical bottles. Is this a coincidence? I think not. At any rate, I have to order Rebel Yell from a distributor in Los Angeles. None of my local purveyors carry it. It's worth the wait and the delivery charges, though. Good stuff.

I must admit, though, that when making mixed drinks such as Manhattans, the old reliable, Jim Beam, is plenty good enough.

I salvaged this marketing mirror from an antique shop not too many years ago. It's as close to a tombstone for I.W. Harper as you can get - it brings back fond memories of quaffing a smooth liquor with my father in years gone by.
