Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

That Michter's Rye is good stuff, SteelCityBoy and I sipped half the bottle on Sunday.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Picked up a bottle of Eagle Rare the other day :dr

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Eagle Rare is quality stuff but my goto bourbon is Woodford, especially if making an Old Fashioned.

I know this is a bourbon thread, but for those that like Rye, try Willett Family Estate Rye. A little spice, a little sweetness and very good neat. Turns into magic while smoking certain cigars.

Also, if you can find it, give Templeton Rye Whiskey a try. Research this one a bit as the story behind it is very cool. Al Capone had this stuff smuggled into jail...

Tried some wheat whiskey that SteelCityBoy had, it was awesome:

Latest purchase.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I was at the Party Source last week. Here is my haul:

By the way Cliff, I got the same OESQ blend you liked so much.

Now I guess it's time to start actually drinking some of my stash.

:D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

NICE pickup. Rittenhouse is a good one and even at 100 can be consumed neat.

You could pour the Four Roses Single over your pancakes...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Nice pick-ups, Duane!!! It's tough for me to hold off opening up one bottle until I've emptied the one I'm working on!!! I've got half a dozen sitting, calling my name right now!!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Please let me know about the Angels Envy, been eyeing that one for a while.
Picked this up last night!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

angels envy is good if you like port. It starts out bourbon and ends with a port like flavor. I thought it was interesting. I would love ot try the cask strength but not at the price they are charging for it.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Wish I would have saw this before today...last night I stopped at the store and picked up some bourbons...picked this one up and decided not to get it this time :(

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

These are what I picked up...I have only had the 4 roses before (and liked it!!)

some new art up in the house.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I think one of these days I'll have to take a picture of my stash. I don't go half-ass when diving into something. :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Hmm that sounds really good actually. I may have to try this one sometime.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I like the Four Roses, let us know how the other two are

Do Eet!

Bourbon bottled in WV? Thought it had to come from KY to wear that name. Oh well, pretty decent stuff. Surprising to see a new name on the local ABC shelf, so I had to try it.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Well how was it?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Latest pickup was some EWSB 2012 hidden behind the 2013. Figured I can get the 2013 later. Really like the 2002/2012 blend.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Last year I was pretty into Bourbon but I have laid off as of late. I love me some Buffalo Trace though, best bang for your buck IMO. I also really enjoy Maker's Mark. Four Roses is great value and good for a starter. My selections up here in Ontario are somewhat limited though...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It just has to be bottled in USA

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

:tu Blak Smyth

Elijah is some good stuff...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Yes it is one of my favorites :tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I'd buy this just for the bottle!!!:noon

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

A buddy of mine bought me a bottle of Booker's for my birthday :dr

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Nice Boz, Happy Birthday.
I might go grab a bottle of something new tonight.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Thanks man! That Booker's is some serious stuff at 130 proof.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I liked the Bookers, trying the Four Roses small batch single barrel tonight. I really like it so far. :banger

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Bookers is so good! Man, that puts hair on your chest! I'm actually a big fan of Jack Daniel's single barrel... Boy, is that nice!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Just tried JD single barrel. Very smooth and goes well with an Oliva V!! -(P

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Not buying again. Buy buffalo trace or old weller 107. Much better. I prefer Devil's Cut, 7yo white label, or JB Black, but I prefer JB anyway....

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Anyone know where I could pick up a bottle of Elijah Craig 18 Year?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I read it was being discontinued in favour of a 20yr expression at almost double the price. Pick up the dusties while you can...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Tried Stagg JR today.

Stay away. Way to hot and not even close to the real thing. Waste of money

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Has anyone tried Watkins Select bourbon?
Normally runs about $20/750 ml, but I see Total Wine has it for $28/1.75 l,
so I'm tempted to pick some up.
Little leery, as it's only barrrel-aged 3 years.

If you've had any, what does it compare to?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Has anyone tried the new Knob Creek Smoked Maple?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I'm deployed to the beautiful country of Afghanistan right now, and won't be back for another 8 months or so. I've decided to send my wife on a quest for THE bottle of bourbon that's going to be waiting to welcome me home (after she does, of course.) My question to all of you is: if it were you, what would be the bottle you'd choose? This will be my first taste of whiskey in close to a year, and I want something that's worth the wait. Something to blow my mind and tastebuds into a state of sweet bourbon-ey nirvana. So let's hear it, gents. What are your personal recommendations?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Bourbon's a subjective item (like cigars), but here's
a list of what was awarded 'gold' at July's
International Wine & Spirit Competition:

http://www.businessinsider.com/the-1...ca-2013-8?op=1

Good a place to start as any. Get one of each & pour a set!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

The Hudson Baby Bourbon and the Hogs 3 Bourbon' look pretty interesting on that web site Eric...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Haven't seen this one. Would try if it's not priced way higher than their other expressions. (like Woodford does)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Pappy Van Winkle. Get her started looking now as it'll probably take eight months to find a bottle.

Stay safe, and keep one in the chamber around the locals.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

^^ Spoke to a local store that carries a lot of HTF stuff and they said the next shipment should be around December. Hoping to score a bottle for Xmas

Pick up a bottle of Angels Envy that was finished in Caribbean rum casks. Can't wait to dig into it. Tried a similar blend at the local cigar bar (that they blended themselves at AE) and it was really good. Whiskey up front with a sweet rum finish

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Just sipped down a couple glasses of the Kirkland brand (Costco) bourbon, and I gotta say it's pretty damn good. If you're only into the fancy bourbons, like 4 roses or bulleit, you may not appreciate it. But for a Knob Creek fan like myself, this stuff rocks. For the record, I love 4 roses and have not tried Bulleit. Price tag on the Costco bourbon is $17 a liter and it's 103 proof. I tried the bourbon with a 2002 LGC mdo#3 which was an amazing smoke and may have improved the beverage it was paired with by virtue of how awesome it was.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Looking to try the Rye shown here. Have the bourbon, and it's very good! They do not sell this in Bama, and when I got mine in Knoxville, they only had the bourbon, and not the rye. Enjoy, and..... Stay Thirsty, My Friend:D!!!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I think the store I picked it up from may still have a bottle. Let me know if you want me to pick it up for you (think it was around $90-95 after tax).

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Woah didn't know they sold a rye! :tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Replenished my supply of Bulliet (reg and rye). Love the stuff.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

While in Milwaukee this weekend I went ahead and bought a bottle of Russell's Reserve 10 year old. Nice nose, a bit tough on the tongue but pleasant flavors throughout. For 20 bucks a bottle a pretty good deal. If it were aged a bit more I believe it would be stellar.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Enjoying two fingers, well, maybe three fingers of Elmer T Lee neet this evening:dr
