Booker's Bourbon?

[raljr1]

I just tried Woodford for the first time last week. It's OK, but rather the Knob Creek or Wild Turkey Rare Breed







I'm looking forward to getting this in and comparing it to the other 2 high proof whiskies I have. And yes, I do drink it out of a high quality glass too.







That is freaking awesome, what your son has set up. I am envious.







Yep, Suntory bought into the Beam franchise some years ago. From what I understand, Suntory makes some quality whiskey too.

We had a bottle of Suntory Old something or other that was wonderful...cant seem to buy it here. Nephew brought it from Japan.

Knob Creek and Makers are a little sweeter than Woodford to my palate.

I stick to basics, bourbon and beer. I like beer, mostly anything but a AB product when I'm working outside and need a little rehydration. Lounging around in the evenings I prefer a decent bourbon. When I say decent I don't mean high priced or high powered. I can get just as much on reasonably priced bourbon as I can on a high priced not so reasonably priced one, especially after the second drink. Doesn't matter much after that. I can't see spending a lot of money on high priced high proofed stuff when I can get the same enjoyment from something for less. Two of my favorites were 80 proof Rebel Yell and 80 or 90 proof Ezra Brooks. They recently took the "Yell" out of Rebel Yell and are now trying to pass Ezra as something special by adding years and alcohol content. WTH? I liked them like they were. So now I'm amusing myself with Military stuff from the local PX. Prices are better also.

The finest drink in the world is a Booker's Manhattan- straight up. (IMHO)

I guess I need to try me some Booker's. When I was a wee lad I snuck into my daddy's stash. The next day was not too fun. Wasn't able to drink it for the longest time.

Fast forward to the last couple of years, I have mainly been a scotch guy (am I allowed to say guy? I identify as a guy so I guess so). Some of my coworkers have been into bourbon so I dipped my toe back in without negative consequences. I am now branching into Rye Bourbon or is it Bourbon Rye. Anyway, I am loving Templeton Rye. Slowly working my way through a 4 year.

Not a drinker but the youngest collects bourbon. Had a room made when they built the house to display it, very tastefully done. He buys, sells and trades as a hobby when he has time. Larry

That's pretty cool. Like the uplighting
