: : Misc Bourbon / Whiskey Crew Part 1: Bet You Can't Drink Just One : :







Get in here and share your favorites, ask for recommendations, suggestions, and brag about your recent purchases.
What are your Go-To's? What's your preferred drink of choice?
Are you an 'on the rocks' guy, drink 'em neat, or only mix with soda kind of wimp?

Cheers!

There are a bunch of really good reviewer sites, plug in a couple of those and see if the reviews sound like something you'd enjoy.

Eagle rare 10 is my go to (want to try 17).
A colleague of mine has the most amazing bourbon collection ever. He travels the US with his wife searching for stuff. I bet 20 grand (and for bourbon that’s everything).
Edit: neat if trying a new whiskey, a little water if around the fire for a night, ice if cheap stuff at home. I don’t like high rye (spicy) stuff. Not a fan of wheat bourbons either (makers, pappy etc.)

My staples: Knob Creek, Four Roses.
Not exactly a bourbon snob so wouldn't turn down Makers or Bulleit either though.
After I'm done cutting I might start trying some recipes. Now I just take everything neat mostly because of the calories.

I love whiskey in general but you can't beat a good bourbon. Buffalo Trace is my favorite all around distillery - we keep their bottom shelf (Benchmark No. 8) for mixing with coke etc, Buffalo Trace to drink neat, and I like their high end stuff when it's time for something special.

Lots of good bourbons under $30. At around the $70 price point though I'd rather just buy single malts. I prefer products with an age statement as they tend to seem more consistent but that's harder to come by these days. Also BT distillery products are a bit over rated and their pricing scheme is stupid. ER10 is $25 but standard BT is $30.

Shut the F*CK UP bro. You want them to find out about Eagle Rare too?!? Regular BT used to be a steal until word got out and they jacked their prices. We gotta keep the secret safe ayyyy

There's a few bourbons like ER10 and HMcK10 for $25 that people just pass over for chit products like JD or Makers even though they want a better drinking experience.

Breckenridge Bourbon
Blade & Bow
Eagle Rare
Buffalo Trace
Had some Old Forge Distillery Bourbon a few months back, very hot but I'd buy another bottle of it.
Gonna order some Koval soon.
Did the Bourbon trail with the wife like 3 years back, alot of fun if anyone can make it work.

https://flaviar.com/bottles/bourbon-and-rye
Gives a good summary of Bourbon, short history/backstory and useful when you can't find anything at the local ****-store of a liquor store.
Looking to make a copper still this winter, use some grain off the farm for some mash, see if I can make anything at all palatable, save some green.

Bourbon is my favorite type of liquor, however, I don't drink much liquor these days.
I usually drink neat or on the rocks; For mixed drinks, I like Old Fashioned and whiskey sours.
If I'm drinking a bottom shelf bourbon, I'll mix with coke or ginger ale.
Next year I'm going to get into rye whiskey.
