Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I've been looking for this locally, I'm hoping to pick some up on Tuesday. What did you think of it?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I thought it was good. It is not my all-time favorite bourbon, but it is very nice. It is very similar to standard maker's mark, but I thought the "toasted oak staves" made it a bit smoother. It is definetly worth picking up a bottle to add to the bourbon collection. :)

The store my sister works at east of Nashville got their shipment in yesterday. Have her holding two bottles for me. Hope to have them (Makers 46) in hand when she comes down to visit dad Monday!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Here. Nice! As can be seen, left bottle has been opened. Very recently!!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

When you skillet fry bourbon does it make it better?



Nice pickups :tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Found a new (to me at least) liqour store near my house and they have the best bourbon collection I've seen around these parts.. I think I'm going to try that Makers 46 and pick up some Jefferson's reserve :dr they also have the presidential select which I'm dying to buy a bottle of!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Finished off a bottle of the MM 46 last week. I almost always drink my bourbon neat, but I had to put some water in the 46 to make it drinkable. It's not that high of a proof, just seemed harsh to me. I'm not a huge MM fan anyway, and I won't be buying any more 46.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

markem and I recently attended a "Cigars and Whiskey" even where they featured Bulleit Bourbon. All of the drinks that night were made from Bulleit and they also used it to flavor some of the food.

It was very nice and I found a new bourbon that I really like!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

LOL!!! Have to gently heat it up with the griddle. Alternatively, hand warm it in a brandy sniffer works as well!:)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Picked up a bottle of Maker's 46 yesterday while at Total Wine (saving that for EPIC III)...

and also a bottle of Paddleford Creek Bourbon.

Anybody experienced with this Paddleford Creek?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Working on killing a bottle of Gentleman Jack @ the moment........

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

That is not Bourbon sir! :D


We have a ton of Makers 46 here. I have not tried it yet - but I feel like it is just a marketing scheme to "age" bourbon faster. Oak staves in oak barrels... I suppose I'm a traditionalist. Never been a fan of Makers or Woodford. Overpriced and overrated IMO. Much better bourbon for the price.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I'm drinking Weller barrel proof, 67.4% pure alcohol goodness. 134.8 proof it's a beast!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Damn! Sounds like that will build some character...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Out of curiosity, which bourbon do you prefer at that price point? I'm not trying to start something on here; I'm just curious as to another bourbon fan's opinion to see if there is something out there that I haven't tried yet.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I prefer Bulleit or Knob Creek both are in the same price range as Gentleman Jack.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

That is some good bourbon there my friend!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Just finished a glass of the Paddleford Creek. WOW, was I impressed. Keep in mind I'm not an experienced bourbon drinker, but wowzah, that was ever so delicious :tu
