Tagging to follow this thread...seems lately I can stand bourbon far more than dark rum.

I like bourbon... ;)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I'm about to kill off my Elijah Craig SB..... :al

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I agree! I always keep a bottle of Larceny around. It tastes like a much more expensive bourbon.

Sipping some Bookers “Noe Hard Times” batch 6/16.
Bookers is the one that started my love affair with high proof bourbons. I have yet to have a problem that 127.6 proof whiskey coundn’t cure.

Decided to kill the bottle. It was a bigger pour than I thought. :r :al

Friday night bottle kill and chill!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Anyone have luck buying bourbon online?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I almost got scammed on eBay, and I am usually spot on. Paypud actually saved my bacon.

Stuff I want usually seems to be at a vendor who can't or won't ship to Illinois.

Just had some of this at the Beach Party. Not usually a bourbon guy but this was very good.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Got to cross something i have been want to try off the list. Was on a mission trip and one of the guys brought some Blanton's. Was very good, hope to find a bottle of my own sometime soon.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Anyone tried Basil Hayden Dark Rye? They have it on the cheap by me, but I read a review and am afraid it might be too sweet. Has some port in it (not finished in port barrels) and is only 80 proof.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I know you prefer Gin :r

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It's differnt, but in a good way.....I didn't find it sweet at all..BTW was on the bar at Metropolitan!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Thanks Keith! :tu

I was too busy making bourbon and Cokes with the Pappy 23 Year to notice. ;) :r

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Sipping the last 3 fingers of a bottle of Fault Line. Will miss it's demise!

Peace of the Lord be with you.

You and every other bourbon drinker on the planet. The scoop from my travelling customers. Hit the duty free on the way to the orient. Seems the Japanese pay top dollar for it and the distributors can make more $$ on it in duty free rather than us liquor stores.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I would check that out, but the last time I went to Asia was never. :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Yea I have heard that a lot of good bourbon is going there because of paying top dollar. I'm going at bourbon like cigars, if I find it in my travels so be it, If not, oh well. Can find them for 90-100 online all day but to me, not worth double the msrp.

I did find a bottle of eagle rare, Weller 107, and regular Buffalo Trace so I'm happy.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I enjoyed some Four Roses Small Batch tonight.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Newest addition to the bar with an assist to a good BOTL (and a couple sidecars as well).

Muckleye from Colt's Neck Distillery. Decent, easy to drink neat.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Nice...WE really appreciate the tic tacs...Don't forget to pack 'em!! :D....Crack open that Dark Rye yet??

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I did, I posted somewhere thanking you for the recommendation. I like it, change of pace, and definitely not too sweet.

So, Tic Tacs are coming with me. Glad to jelp the Team. :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Working on some green label Weller. Isn't hitting the spot yet like I had hoped it would.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I cracked my 107 tonight, and it was most excellent. Been several months since I had the green, I thought it was pretty good, but doesn't compare to the Antique.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Tic Tacs are really useful. Seriously. They contain citric acid, which helps neutralize the palate between cigars. Hector Alfonso (Espinosa cigars) showed us this trick. He carries a baggie of citric acid powder (readily mistakes for cocaine when you start rubbing it on your gums)

Tic tacs do the trick too!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Even the fruity ones?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Yep

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Sweet!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I have 3 bottles of the green to see if it changes my mind :r That's good to hear, I just found a bottle of that a couple weeks ago. I'll have to open that next.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Too funny. I hadn't posted any of my pours for the last 15 days, come here to post...and it's my second pour from the same bottle. :r

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I've been enjoying Jim Beam Repeal Batch. It's only 20 bucks put is nice neat, with ice or mixed. Sure it's cheap but very good for the money. Perfect for guests or for when you want a cheap buzz. Way way better than their standard bourbon.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Not. Saying. Much. -(P ;s :r

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Ya, it ain't no Pappy 23 for sure but it scratches the itch. Especially after an 18 pack.:al

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It's the Svedka of bourbon. :r

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I’ve just started to get into bourbon this past year or so. I’ve enjoyed it for a while but couldn’t tell you two things about it. A couple of good neighbors, a trip to KY and my local store putting me on the list for an allocated bottle (and getting said bottle) have pushed me down the slope. I don’t have many preferences yet as my tastes range from ryes to sour mash to wheated bourbons, but I’m enjoying it.

Oh, and Tom. As you’re aware, that Weller Antique is pretty darn good. I’ve had it at a local bar. I enjoy it on the rocks. The Weller special reserve is surprisingly easy for me to get locally and is good for the price but can’t hold a candle to the Antique.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I am much like you are a relative bourbon newb. I agree with you on all counts...we have the SR by us now, one bottle limit but they seem to keep it stocked recently. Like you said, availability of 107 is a whole nother ball game. I had mine shipped from a friend in NJ.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

damn love this thread!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I decided to stop by my local during my lunch break and just happened to catch a bottle of 107. A slight markup as it was priced around $55. I haven’t seen it on the shelves here, so I bought one.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Great price, they're double that on the secondary market.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Found a second one last week as well. It happened to be the week of Weller antique deliveries in town.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Found a liquor store in Boston with lots of 107. Unfortunately, I was only carry on.

Last night had my first pours of 1792 Bottled in Bond and Booker's Small Batch.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Really been enjoying McKenna 10 lately.
