Which bourbon?

IrishDevl · January 12

So do I hit the Four Roses Small Batch or some Buffalo Trace? Or take a fifth of Ultimate Vodka to the head? Decisions...decisions.

Put them all down and grab a bottle of Oban Single Malt Scotch

That will be next time. Have to go out and buy it.

Local party store where my daughter works had a whole barrel cased with their own logo.They also have the cask in their other location. I must of liked it. Think it was gone in a week.

Oh my older brother helped some.

Pappy Van Winkle 20 year neat....The way God intended it.

AleBrewer · January 13

I like Knob Creek and Bulleit....pretty easy on the wallet too. Pappy is good stuff too......plenty of em out there for you to try.

Four roses gets my vote. 100 bucks for oban is a little spendy for me.

Makers Mark

A winner that never gets old

Cast my vote for Four Roses....package store near mi casa carries single barrel 4R made specially for their store. Great stuff.

into (and it's almost gone - big sigh) 12 year old Aberlour double cask Highland single malt - very nice for "cheap" scotch.

Mickey - you're breaking my heart, can't stand to see something so good being so close to being over.....forever!

Try some sheep dip boyz. Not for the faint of heart but delicious

I wouldn't put cheap I parentheses. My stuff is usually 10-20 more. I will need to give that a try.

I have to stop at about 50 bucks on the booze(once a year). Old Sheep Deep Dip is pretty good.Love single malt scotches.Still can't figure where I aquired the the taste for them. Like bourbons and Bombay Saffire. But as a good pollack I like my beer.But I can't stand any light beer. What a waste. A nice dry red wine works also.

How about a little Evan Williams Single Barrel 10 Year? Mighty tasty for an under $25 bottle!

The nights I get into brown water, I usually wake up on the porch with the egg and pandora blasting. SWMBO leaves me there as punishment. So.... I bought some Woodford yesterday....

lousubcap · January 14

@Chubbs-if you can find Woodford's Double Oaked (been in the market for aorund 8 months or so) it is much better (opinion only FWIW) but hard to find even in the land of Kentucky Jelly. I prefer it to Van Winkle's 12 and 15 year old-don't spend the $$ for the 20 and up.

Eggcelsior · January 14

Forgot I had this behind my old grand dad.

So much win!

beaudreaux · January 14

Bulleitt makes all better, frontier whiskey at it's finest poured over ice!!

The Cen-Tex Smoker · January 14

for every day- Woodford (preferred) but more often Bulleit (really good for the money) special: Pappy Van Winkle but more often Jefferson's Presidential 18 Year Reserve

DawgDays · January 14

For you Pappy fans out there - try the WL Weller. Same distributor. Pretty darn close, cheaper, and easier to find. It's my daily driver in an effort to save the small amount of Pappy I can get my hands on. Saw a couple people mention Bulleit. I'm not big on their bourbon but they make a darn good rye. Gonna have to take a flyer on the Woodford Double Oaked.

GQuiz · January 14

DawgDays got it right... Weller is a nice wheated bourbon. Mix the 7 year with Diet Sierra Mist or sip the 12 year neat or on the rocks. Perfect drink to sip Egg-side.

Is it smoother? What is the taste like?

Z_Eggineer · January 14

Really into Buffalo Trace and Bulleit Rye right now, but we go through phases. I will probably get in a Maker's phase late this spring. Was in a Woodford phase last year. It's all good though

MaskedMarvel · January 14

Talisker. Basil Hayden. Tito's. Hendrix. Cuervo. Jack. The perfect speed well...

Drink Weller myself. I like the Makers Mark too but for the price, its hard to beat the Weller. Local store here had it for $28 for the 1.75

Would that be Spec's? I get the 1.75 of Jack there for $29. I usually just get Jack or Turkey 101, but lately I've been liking 1835. I can get it for under $20. (This isn't my picture, I stole it somewhere online when I realized I didn't have a pic)

I've seen the 1835 at Specs but haven't tried it yet...I'll have to rectify that. Props to Skiddymarker on the Aberlour 12-year old. Picked up a bottle earlier this week and am really enjoying it.

Howdy, Stranger!
