I like 4 Rose single barrel, especially the store pics. I like everything from Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare is a great bottle that can normally be found in most stores. Elijah Craig is a solid bottle also. Yeah. A few years ago it was all about Scotch. Good sense has finally arrived and folks are realizing that bourbon has the most flavor of all the whisky. Weller is now almost impossible to find. Link to post Share on other sites
Chad Linder Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I made this old-fashioned the other night with a store pick knob creek rye. It is an excellant pour at 115 proof. Link to post Share on other sites

WPG Gizmo Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I have tried a lot of different Bourbons over the years Angels Envy rates high on my list but the one I prefer currently is made in NH at a little distillery in Seabrook called V5 made by Smoky Quartz it is a small batch and come is a small bottle .375 liters It is called V5 in honor of the 5 military vets that make it.

BlacknTan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I've had very little experience with Bourbons, particularly since I found peaty single malts, although I used to enjoy Wild Turkey when the club would put on a show... Perhaps I should dip a toe in the waters.. Link to post Share on other sites
rideold Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 3 hours ago, Mike Connally said: My current favorite is Wellers Antique 107. Makers Mark Cask Strength, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, and Eagle Rare 10 year are damn good also. I must like Blantons also because I have 5 bottles resting in my cabinet. More and more I find myself gravitating towards wheated bourbons. I’ve come to really like sweet bourbons. You had a list in the last year or so that I pulled from that included Blandton's and Eagle Rare along with:Bowman Brothers Small BatchBuffalo TraceKnob Hill Small BatchOld Forester 1920 (a true sleeper) Are the others still on your favorites list? I've always been more of a wine drinker with the occasional Irish Whiskey so I took your "testing" as a starting point to try some bourbons. Link to post Share on other sites

Skybuster Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 It's 5 O'clock as I type this. Really bushed after chasing O'l Ruff around the balsams all day. They win again. I usually drink Vodka most of the year but at grouse camp it's top shelf amber spirits. I have a glass of Jameson Black Barrel in hand. Life is good! Link to post Share on other sites

kgb Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 2 hours ago, Mike Connally said: The barrel and Cask Strength bourbons are finding their way to the top of my list. Much more flavorful. Some, like Makers Cask Strength, I like to drink with a big chunk of ice. It changes flavor wonderfully as the ice melts. Having one now😋 Good point made about changes to whiskies of all kinds as they are diluted, and in this and similar instances, chilled. Link to post Share on other sites
MAArcher Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 This is really good too Not really a winter drink, but makes a great Julep with wild mint. Link to post Share on other sites
oak stob Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Off topic but a nod goes to Old Overholt.....in a way, I buy it for the label but the $17 or so does not hurt. Link to post Share on other sites
Dave in Maine Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 +1 on the Old Overholt There's a certain panache to drinking cheap rotgut. Link to post Share on other sites
