Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I almost always drink mine with ice. Though the 1st glass is poured neat so I can taste the bourbon before I add the ice.

For Derby I went on the cheap and grabbed a bottle of Old Crow. I've been told it is very good chilled.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

You'll probably have to get it pretty cold! :D

I am kidding, I haven't had it in years and have no idea how it is... let us know...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Just cracked my bottle of Eagle Rare 17. Pretty smooth.

It is Kentucky Derby Day. :fu2

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

what about last week, what was the excuse then?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Old Crow will work in a pinch, but it's a bit rough!

Next time, for about the same money get some Early Times. It's very smooth and easy to drink. For a buck or two more, go with Old Grandad, true great for very cheap money!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Was it a tuesday? that would work too. :dance:

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!

Wow, what a weekend at Derby! Lots of Woodford, Early Times Mint Julip (blah!), beers, and more Woodford was drank and many great Oliva cigars were smoked! Oh, and by the way, I hit the Derby winner on a $5 bet for $250! All in all a great weekend!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Sounds like a good time! Congrats on the pick. I hope to make it one of these years.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Cant stand all this derby talk = driving me CRAZY!
So... i must relax with a Julep ;)

Love those things when it comes to drinks im Classic... Sidecar/Mint Julep or Straight up bourbon and im happy as hell-

Cheers!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I have to say I was surprised at how easy it seemed to drink. I really didn't drink much straight, so I'll open back up in a couple of days. But right at this moment I'm going to say that it was easy to drink over ice and wasn't in-your-face powerfull.

I don't want to get too ahead of myself before I can actually sit down to a glass and say something like; I'd prefer a glass of Old Crow over Eagle Rare (and a few others).

Old Grandad wasn't too bad at all the last time I drank it. I believe it was the orange label.

Went into The Party Source today to pick up the Gentleman Jack for the Nub Live event in Columbus tomorrow and stopped by the bourbon section and what do I see? Rittenhouse Rye Bottled in Bond 100, FINALLY! Picked up 3 bottles of it. It's been a while since I've had this stuff, I still stand by it's one of the best rye's out there, and under $20 to boot. Just gotta find it and you'll be good!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Nice find!
I need to get some, to bad I gotta pay to have it shipped though. :mad:

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Just cracked my bottle of Sazerac from the '08 Antique collection. I don't know, I guess I should stick to Bourbon.

But before I do, I have a question....

How does this compare to other Ryes out there? Which other one should I give a chance?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Van Winkle 13yo Family Reserve - There is none better IMHO!!!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Just enjoyed a nice glass of Four Roses Single Barrel on the rocks!
