Nice to see a bourbon thread. My current bottle (I don’t drink a lot so typically have only one at a time) is Four Roses Small Batch.
Also like Woodford reserve, Angel’s Envy and honestly, a bunch of others.
I drink it neat. I’m a alcohol lightweight though, so one shot only - two and I’m fairly plastered. I don’t enjoy the sensation the way I do being high.
Thanks, I’ll have to look that one up. My best friend and I usually buy each other a nice bottle for birthdays, so perhaps this will be the one I get next time.
Another really great value is Evan Williams bottled in bond. People pass it up because of the low price point, but it really is a pretty good bottle that drinks easy and doesn’t break the bank by any means.
I was just reading along not a big Bourbon or whiskey guy but I live in KY. And it’s sad to say all the bottles y’all talk about are about at every liquor store no matter how big they are. We do 3 things in KY Horses, bourbon, Basketball “ except for this year in basketball” F****** Cats
Look up bourbon festival in bardstown Ky I think it’s back on now haven’t done it last 2 yrs cause of the Covid but it’s all the big and small distilleries come in for a few days and give out free or almost free samples
I’ve had some nice bourbon at tastings & I’d never say “no” to a nice bourbon.
However, I use it mostly as a mixer. Makers Mark when I want it strong. Bottom shelf Evan Williams when I want it cheap.
If I’m spending serious money on liquor, I’m buying 18-year single malt scotch. I’ve had some 21s, but for my taste, it starts losing what I like after 18.
Screw bourbon. Well Four Roses is good and its rare that I like Bourbons.
I am a Single Malt drinker. Well when I decide to partake which is like 1/2 oz every 6 months or so. I had over a $10k Single Malt collection. Till the USA changed the shipping rules which sucked. I had to give my collection up as I did not want to cross 3 States with open containers.
My buddy enjoyed every last drop.
I was also a Home brewer and I had to pour a 3 year old mead that was in a 5 gallon glass carboy. I told my friend to come get the gear. He didn’t so it all went to the garbage dumpster as I had no room to move it. Sucked a big one.
