:tpd::tpd:

Personally, I don't think there is any better advise than this!!!!

This doesn't mean to stop here, and I surely haven't. But, it's a darn good starting point!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I'm looking forward to getting one or two bottles of George T. Stagg when it comes to Ontario.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Got 2 (1 & 1/2 now) bottles of Stagg and 2 bottles of Sazarac :noon
My wife found them in Chicago, no limit on the amount purchased.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

1 bottle of Stagg! My very first!!!:banger

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Love my Jefferson :chr

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I picked up a couple bottles of Rittenhouse Rye, bottled in bond, 100 proof. Never had it, but for $25 each, can't be all that bad. Gonna have some tonight with some cigars and meatball subs :banger

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It's very solid and fairly similar in flavor to Wild Turkey rye. They're about the same price and, by a couple of points, I'd give the edge to the bird.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Never knew that WT made a rye. Will look for that next time I'm at the store. Thanks for the tip.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I've had a couple samples of this. Impressed for the price point...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Might be comparing apples to oranges, but have you had any of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection ryes? If so, how do they compare?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Do. It's probably my favorite rye in price/performance terms. :tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Well, had about a 1/3 of a bottle of the Rittenhouse last night. It was a little rough right out of the bottle, so I put a little water in and it mellowed nicely. Don't like it as much as the Bulleit rye, which is the same $$$ and available here, but it's not bad, for a change of pace.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Could I get some opinions on Eagle Rare? Picked up a bottle of the 10 year old.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

This is a decent bourbon for a very reasonable price. A good choice that should satisfy without breaking your wallet. I've had better (for my taste buds), but at twice the price. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the Rare Eagle, cause I did.

Enjoy!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I agree with the post above :tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It's not bad. For the price Woodford is better. For a bit more I like Noahs Mill.

I've drank 2 bottles of it, don't find myself wanting a third anytime soon though.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

My "to get list" is the following:

Marker's 46
Russel's Reserve 10 years
Knob Creek
Benjamin Prichard's double barreled
Crown Reserve

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It's a lighter bourbon than most others but that is not meant as a criticism - more a stylistic descriptor. Still bolder than wheaters like Maker's Mark or Weller. Not a bourbon that has most enthusiasts raving about it but it's what you think that counts.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I had some of the Baker's last night. Pretty smooth and enjoyable.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Hudson baby bourbon, Made at tuthiltown spirits ny

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Picked up a bottle of woodfor reserve today, hopefully i'll get a chance to try it tonight.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

For all of you up here in the Great Northwest, Woodinville Whiskey has put out there first batch of American Whiskey and Bourbon Whiskey. Both are top shelf, stop by the distillery and pick up a bottle or two. :tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Cracked open the woodford reserve tonight. Its got a great little bite and a nice spicy but somewhat sweet flavor.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

price? can they ship it if we arent local? i love trying mall batch stuff.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Got my brother in law the Pappy Van Winkle 20 yr for Christmas. Maybe we'll get to crack it open on Christmas Eve.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

40 for 750ml. Don't know if they ship you can check http://www.woodinvillewhiskeyco.com/

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Has anyone tried the Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Is that the stuff in the little bottle? If so, yes. It was good but I don't think it was worth the money.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Thanks for the feedback. (The bottle I saw was 750ml, though I believe the store owner referenced a 375ml bottle as well.) I am fond of the "standard" BT, but the single oak project bottle I saw was nearly 3 times its cost ... so I've not bitten the bullet yet.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Be sure and let me know how you like it.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Mark..... Just wondering what the price break was on the Corner Creek? I'll have to keep an eye out for it, so I'm also interested in your take on this one! Thanks

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I paid $23.99, Cliff.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Thanks, Peter! Very, very affordable!!! It'd be nice to find another good sippin' quality bourbon for less than $60!!!!! Few and far between. I've never seen it in Alabama, which means it's not on the state's "approved" list. But I'll be in Tennessee on and off over the next three months, and there are several excellent stores within a couple of miles, so may be able to find it there!!

Elijah Wood 18 Year single Barrel...so very good!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I've been thinking about trying the 18 year....I guess that'll be the next bottle purchase.

I think you mean Elijah Craig 18 year though.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I think that's called a Tolkien Slip, lol.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

:r

I was looking at the 18 year Saturday night, but Zaya caught my eyes instead. Kind of on a rum kick lately.

I'm sure I'll get back into bourbon. Set aside a few hundred $$$ for the 2012 WLW, Stagg and Pappy.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It was my understanding that Buffalo Trace not only used differs seasoning and charing techniques, but the also used different mash bills for the whiskey that filled the barrels. The idea was that no two barrels would be alike. I was also under the impression they were only released in 375ml bottles. If you saw a 750ml bottle I would grab it, because it must be very rare. I haven't tasted them myself so I can't speak from experience but that is what I have read. You can go to the Buffalo Trace web site to get the pedigree on each barrel, but you have to do a review of the bottle you are requesting, so I haven't gone that far yet. I hope that helps.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I like the "Aged In New American Oak" legend on the Corner Creek label. :rolleyes:

Yeah. That's why they let you call it Bourbon, guys. :rlz

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I like Bourbon ;)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Matt-N-GA pointed out to me that the WL Weller Special Reserve had be marked down to $9.99 a quite a few of our local stores, as a marketing ploy to gain interest. Well it worked for me, I had never tried it but this stuff is really good.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Damn $10....stock up :r

It's $20 over here and it's not bad at all.

My brother lives in GA :hm

I think he's getting a phone call soon :D

What stores have this pricing?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I did :D

Mink's in Marietta on Delk Road and Michael's also in Marietta on Whitlock Road I know for sure had that pricing last week.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Much thanks, I'll call in advance.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Had a small helping of the 12 yr Van Winkle and then I had a glass of the Basil Hayden 8 yr. Both are pretty good.
