chilly460 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Cracked the Evan Williams Single Barrel, I’d say it was “meh”. Not horrible for the price point. Link to post Share on other sites

Huntschool Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I am enjoying my usual, Buffalo Trace, Bulleit, Bookers, Eagle Rare (7 and 10 yo but I think I like the 7 best), Blantons, several of the Woodfords, and a few more. My tastes are somewhat confined but not totally. I also have a few of the Rye's by some the same folks that are kinda nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Connally Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I’ve strayed a little bit tonight. Not technically a bourbon, Jack Daniels Barrel Proof. A Tennessee Whiskey. At 132.2 proof it’s light years better than regular Jack. Link to post Share on other sites
Windrider Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 My favorite has been Angel’s Envy for a while. It is difficult to come by round these parts, but it’s not made of unobtanium like most Buffalo Trace distillery products. However, last night I tried Weller Special Reserve. I can see where WSR could get me in trouble. Smoothest bourbon to go in my mouth so far. Fortunately, it’s made of rarleyobtanium so the alcohol fund should be relatively safe. I tried Jim Beam white label a few weeks ago. Unlike all other cheap Bourbon I didn’t spit it out. I was quite surprised. Since we’ve had three days of rain and the fields will be likely not be huntable until Saturday I guess I’ll have to try Jim Beam Black Label tonight. You know September is national Bourbon month. As an American I feel it’s important to do my part to support this national industry. Link to post Share on other sites
1971snipe Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Saturday night at the cigar dinner fundraiser for the local Seafarers Center, there were three whiskeys for tasting: Kentucky Owl Bourbon Basil Haden Rye Yellow Spot Irish Whiskey Yellow Spot wasn't bad but was the harshest of the three. Basil Haden was fairly smooth with a mild flavor, unlike other ryes such Old Overholt or BT Rye, which exhibit more flavor and more kick. Kentucky Owl bourbon was by far the most popular of the evening, the crowds favorite. Full of flavor, smooth as silk, and a little sip seemed to go much further. I thoroughly enjoyed sipping a couple small glasses with a Fuentes cigar while visiting with a fellow older duck hunter. Yesterday and last evening I was doing some searches for Kentucky Owl, and I see that it's a small batch bourbon and that some bottles go for more than $300. One batch called "confiscated" sells for $125. I don't recall the bottles at Saturdays event displaying any other information, no age, batch, or anything else other than the name, Kentucky Owl. I'm not going to buy a bottle at that price, but it sure was nice to taste it. Link to post Share on other sites
Windrider Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I’m drinking the last drops of my Weller’s Special Reserve right now to celebrate the return of the mighty skunked wonder to the the inside of the house. Link to post Share on other sites

I stopped in a gas station in Iowa on my way back after the opener and low and behold behind the counter are several of the sometimes hard to find overpriced LLS bourbons. I replaced a missing Eagle Rare for 33$ and she said she had another Weller's in the back. Locally, both very hard to find. Too bad, hot spotting isn't allowed. I was grinning for 2 hours after this particular covert was discovered. Link to post Share on other sites
