One of my personal favorites. It has a hint of oak from the long aging but that’s my jam. I love it. Cheers!

Sam Houston, sounds like a Texas favorite.   I’ll look it up!

Auction lot for my local bourbon group’s charity event. Live Auction at a local watering hole. Raising money for local veterans. $50 to get into the door. Numerous free pours and door prizes. Hoping to raise good money with what y’all see. Not pictured are a 1.75 of Eagle Rare store pick and a 1.75 of Weller 12.

Test run for a new set of oak tumblers that I received as an award at work.  Very nice set!

Very tasty:

@FrostyEgg,

Check out the documentary “Neat” on Amazon video -
I think it’s like $3 but a great history lesson on bourbon.

I loved that.  That was when I first learned of what a “gold rush” cocktail was made from.  That also gave me the inspiration for Frank’s Speakeasy, @lousubcap

I’m gonna have to buy a shaker and try making a Gold Rush. I buy honey from a local beek at work so just need a fresh lemon.

They’re good.  A bit sweeter than a standard whiskey sour.  And the honey enhances the color as well.  I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t really like them.

You just have to make the honey syrup, grab a lemon, your favorite bourbon for cocktails, and you’re good to go!

Bottle Kill- this one make me sad, I really like this wheated version.  

Wreck ‘em!

Got around to making a Gold Rush using one of my least favorite bourbons in case I didn’t like it. Also used local honey from a beek friend at work. Definitely a fan, will make this again.

They are dangerous!

If you want to try a dangerous drink, get yourself some Bison Grass Vodka and make yourself a Tatanka. I think it is @TheBuffalo’s favorite drink:

Use unfiltered apple juice - it’s amazing and tastes like liquid apple pie - very dangerous.

@CTMike - obviously our taste profiles are different as they should be.  For a near daily pour I am a BT fan.  Sorry to read that it does not fit the bill.  But I don't mix the brown water other than with water or ice.  You will get there-It comes with age-lots of it. 
Submarines once-

CTMike

@lousubcap,

I’m not sure what it is about BT but it just doesn’t tickle my taste buds. 

- Submarines twice . . . .

@JohnInCarolina @CTMike what ratio of honey:water are you using in your syrup for the gold rush?

I’ve seen anywhere from 1:3 honey:water to 3:1 honey:water

I already did 3:1, it is waiting to cool down,  I’ll dilute it if needed

Pretty good!  Not as sweet as expected.

2 oz Woodford DO
3/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz 3:1 honey syrup
