Elijah Craig then to BT.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Been really enjoying some Buffalo Trace lately. Down to my last bottle of it.

Needed a few drops of water to tame the heat.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It’s been an Old Forester 1910 kind of day. Really like this stuff.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

That's on my short list. :tu

Had my first ever pours of regular Buffalo Trace last night in a bar, I can see why it's so popular at its price point.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Murph I guess we'll be sitting near each other this weekend!...:banger

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I Think That May Be My Favorite, Brother! Of Course When I Can Find Blanton's, That Would Be My #1.:tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

An honor and a pleasure, My Friend! :al :D

Ranks real high on my list as well, Greg. :tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I’ve only ever found one bottle and I’m going through it quickly. It’s supposed to be easier to find in the near future. I read that it’ll be a regular release going forward.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Hope so! :D

Last night I had a nice big pour of Elijah Craig SB before bed.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I will have to add the four roses to my list to look for. Been really enjoying some elijah craig also. Hoping to find a barrel proof here soon of it. I think the next round is hitting my area now. Have also been working on the Knob Creek small batch that is very good.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I noticed that too. It is decent with a couple drops of water, but ultimately, it is disappointed that the water is needed...and then it still is not as good as I had hoped.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I Favor The Wheated Bourbons, Myself. The Rye Burns A Little Too Much Going Down.:)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I'm with you Greg, Rye just doesn't do it for me...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Speaking of rye, had midwinters night dram this evening. Pretty good.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Been hunting for a bottle, hard t find around here. I agree, good stuff!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Has anyone here tried Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream? Thinking about buying it as an after dinner dessert

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It’s good. I prefer it to any Irish cream that I’ve tasted. It’s hard for me to have much as any given time though.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I concur. And a shot or two is good in a cup of coffee too!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

WOO found a bottle of elijah craig barrel proof B519. cannot wait to get it and try it out.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Nice! :tu :al

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Anyone near Detroit? I just moved north of the city and am looking for a place I can find some Weller or Blantons. I love Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare and have yet to try or find their higher end stuff.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Can't find Blantons here and it's bugging me. :(

Sometimes they have the Weller SR, should I get you some if they have do?

125.2 proof Bulleit tonight.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Only get weller SR if it’s close to msrp. It’s fine, but not worth paying a ton for. It’s actually one of the best bourbon mixers that I’ve found.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Is MSRP around $29? I think that's what it is usually going for at Binnys (when they have it in stock).

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It may be in Illinois. We get 750s for low 20s and 1.75L for 35-40 in these parts. It’s the one thing that we can find most places.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I've never even seen a 1.75 Wellers. Crazy.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

We ka e 1.75 Weller's here too

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Poured my last few pours of High West Double Rye into my flask and brought it to Thanksgiving dinner. Didn't finish it, so took care of that last night.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Love the flask!!! :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Thanks, James...a gift from an admirer? Or was it a detractor? :r

Newest purchases, went to Binnys looking for rye but couldn't pass up the prices on these.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Last few nights....

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

just sayin'...kinda weird that you drink at the exact same time every day...not judging, but odd....:D
some nice selections there Murph....

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

My favorite time of day, Keith. :r

Looking forward to hanging out and comparing notes soon. :al :tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I just recently discovered that I like bourbon....time to do some reading in here

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Yet another slope, Ray....:al :D

Todays addition:

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Any thoughts on this one? I went to a liquor store grand opening a couple weeks ago and everybody bum rushed the whiskey section when the doors opened for the first time looking for anything rare, this was the only bottle that got gobbled up. I could have grabbed the last one but while I was looking at the label somebody reached over me and took it. I think the price was $95, I didn't want to drop that much on something I hadn't heard of before and didn't have time to look it up, so I went with a handle of eagle rare instead for half the price (after some discounts)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Ben, I've had it twice from two different batches, and loved it like crazy both times. I haven't really liked any other "finished" ryes, but this one is different to me. I'll update it when I crack this one. I had a discount to use, so got the bottle for a little over $70.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I'll have to think of something else to try soon. My first bottle of bourbon is just about empty already.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It's a scotch, not a bourbon, but glenfiddich xx in my glass tonight

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Ray, you've taken to it quickly. :D

Clay, scotch is welcome in this thread, just not in my glass. Irish whiskey is welcome here as well, and also has an open invitation to my glass. :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

You not a fan of scotch?

I do like the occasional Irish whisky.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Not even a little. Not scotch's fault, it's 17 year old me on New Year's Eve's fault. :pu ;) :lr

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

The entire board is waiting for that story tom :D

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

It's not that interesting, Clay, but I'll indulge you when I'm less tired if you like. Just typical high school idiocy. :al :r
