Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Speaking of using Bourbon in a mixed drink..

A couple weekends ago I was making Whiskey sours and used Ancient Ancient Aged and they came out great. The stuff is cheap but it definitely worked out great. A lot of non-bourbon drinkers agreed too. FWIW

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

My bourbon of choice varies, so I always try to keep the following on hand:
Bulliet
Woodford Reserve
Elijah Craig 18 yo
Eagle Rare
1792
Russel's reserve 10 yo
Maker's Mark
That way, I can select according to my mood. Those are the "utility bourbons"

I also have a few others, depending on the week and proximity to pay day. :) Really good ones don't tend to last very long.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I'd direct you to Eagle Rare as well.
I'm finishing off the last bit of my Eagle Rare, which is chilled in my Flask at the Camper for the weekends.

*Disclaimer I know its not a bourbon*

Currently I am drinking Rittenhouse Rye Bottled in Bond. Thanks to Tony, Patrick and others who mentioned this earlier in the thread. This stuff is fantastic and affordable. For the longest time I couldn't find it around here then Joey (ir13) found it while visiting me for a herf. For any whiskey /bourbon lover it gets my recommendation.

Just picked up a 12 year old Van Winkles can't wait to try it this weekend while at the ocean.:tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Got a bottle of William Larue Weller for my birthday. Can't wait to try it :banger

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Great stuff and one of my favorites. What year did you get?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

If I could find this locally, I probably wouldn't drink anything else.

Right now I am enjoying the Bulleit.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I like Bulliet. Bulliet has a habit of revealing new flavors as it sits on a few ice cubes for a few minutes, as does the Woodford Reserve. I like it with some of the more full bodied cigars. where I will usually pair a Milder cigar with the Evan Williams single barrel or one of the higher end Russel concoctions; rare breed or Russel reserve 10 yo.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Picked up some new Maker's Mark 46 last night. Has anyone tried this yet? It is pretty good!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Where did you find this? Been looking for that for a bit .......:confused:

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I looove some Van Winkle. 12yr Lot B is awesome, but the Pappy 15yr is phenomenal. Hell I'm in KY, work at a liquor store, and it's hard to get a hold of - granted it's a huge liquor store. It may be easier to get at smaller ones around here.

Mmmmm

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Smokey Point was the only store I have found it at and they are all out, I went back to buy the last 3 bottles after I returned from Westport but they were all sold out.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I just picked up a bottle of the maker's 46..cant wait to crack it open tomorrow!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Dang it! Will/can they special order it in small quantities?:confused:

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Don't know, but I know the Granite Falls store ordered a case of it I will let you know IF they ever get it in.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

That would be great Tom! BTW, were you fishing in Westport??:)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Let us know how the Maker's Mark 46
compares with the usual batch.
I'm very curious.
