Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I'm going to add Evan Williams, Black Label or Bottled in Bond (I prefer Bottled in Bond but it is a little higher proof at 100). This is going to be in the same realm as Elijah Craig, same...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Once again I agree with Tom, haven't tried the toast but I probably won't, the regular was a very brief intro bourbon for me until I learned more about proof and more flavorful bourbons. I got the...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Finally killed off my first "real" bottle of bourbon last night, got it when somebody here told me to enter a pappy lottery 5 years ago, brought it home and cracked it as I was walking through the...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Interesting tid bit - in an old interview with Jim Rutledge when he was at Four Roses he mentioned that they taste test and formulate that year's LE blend 6+ months before bottling then keep...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Nice pickup! Everything I've heard is it's actually 15 year Beam (same with all the other mystery "15 Year Kentucky Bourbon" that came out in the last couple years), I love that Prideful Goat...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
They get their stuff from Heaven Hill (currently), so what you got is basically a slightly younger Elijah Craig Barrel Proof(ish). I haven't had them myself but hear they are quite good, nice pickup!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Old Tub is all peanuts, moreso than other beam products in my opinion. I like it but don't drink it often, I made some cracker jack old fashioneds with it a while back and they were amazing (using a...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Nice grab! Those picks are always really tasty, killer price point on them too, I've yet to find a bad bottle of it

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Nice! I still think A120 is the best ECBP I've had, but B520 doesn't suck either. I picked up a B521 not too long ago, but I've heard not-so-stellar reviews on it (compared to other batches) so...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Lots of good whiskey last week visiting my family, one standout was a sip from the Sagamore "Ryemagnac" a collab between Julios and Binny's. 4 year rye with a second maturation of 3.5 years in an...

Great price! Glad you like it
Don't rule out Tom, he posted a picture of himself drinking <89 proof just last week elsewhere in this forum :D

Nice bottles all around! Never tried Longbranch myself but heard it's a solid choice, especially if you can get it for a couple bucks off retail (hopefully Costco helped you there). I've heard it...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
They are all primarily corn, that being said there's a lot of room for playing around with that remaining 49%. Four Roses has two different mashbills, one 20% rye and one 35% rye (blends will...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Any "Bourbon" will be at least 51% corn, actual wheat whiskeys are another hole to go down but that hole isn't as deep. I like wheated bourbons a lot, there aren't a ton of them out there, mostly...

A few thoughts- I'm not a believer in these types of lists generally but this one at least hits a couple places. Best overall as Knob Creek is fair and I'm a fan, Evan Williams white (bottled in...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Maybe keep it to the under $10 options. I've had some good Old Fashioneds with nicer booze, and they do sometimes elevate the drink, but you're not gonna get a good feel for the underlying whiskey. ...
