Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I had the Jeffersons and it was very good. I enjoy beer and bourbon so this beer was perfect in my opinion. If you like bourbon in general, I do not see any reason why you would not try it. They go great with cigars too. :ss

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I have been drinking Four Roses thanks to Nickyteen and it is really good. I love all kinds of whiskey, but this might be turning me torward bourbon as my go to.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Jeffersons is very good. More consistant than most I've had. BBC made a Pappy bourbon barrel that about knocked me out of the chair. Very good and without a doubt strong.

If you're into Porters you have to try a bourbon barrel.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

BTW, Four Roses started shipping bottles of their 2009 Barrel Proof limited edition this week. Only 1,836 total bottles produced. I just picked up a few today at the Liquor Barn. I have a wicked cold right now, so I'm going to try some out over the weekend most likely.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

What are they selling for?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I have been revisiting this bottle the last few nights, and I must say, I like it a lot more now than when I first tried it. I don't know if I like it enough to buy another bottle, but I like it enough not to completely write Rye off. I'll have to pick up some Rittenhouse and see what I think then.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Thanks. I love bourbon and beer, so it sounds like the perfect combination. I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for some. Goose Island beers are pretty readily available around me, and I heard their Bourbon County Stout is amazing.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Purchse advice needed. I love elijah Craig 18... the vanilla/toffee on the nose is outstanding. I am looking for something just as "sweet" if not sweeter and smooth. Any recommendations?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

About $65

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Almost done with my bottle :(... definately need to find more.....a few more!!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I think that a bottle of Elmer T Lee may be just what you are looking for. Definitely one of the sweetest bourbons I have had and it also has many toffee/vanilla/carmel/honey etc. types of flavors you typically find in sweet bourbons that you said you liked in the Elijah Craig. For about $25-30 a bottle, it's easy on the wallet too. It's made by Buffalo Trace so its easy to find too.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Bottle of ETL on the way! This and Wellers came recommended. Wellers i cheap so grabbed one too.... how bd can it be:)

Thanks!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

ETL is quite good...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Makers Mark?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Still MY favorite, Bro!:ss

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Weller was my favorite in college, cannot tell you how many nights it put me to sleep :r

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

From what I've heard Wellers is very similar too, I've just never had it so I couldn't say for sure. Have fun trying them all out. I know I sure do.:ss

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Booker's and Baker's... The best of the Jim Beam Bourbon Family

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I had several good bourbons yesterday for my birthday including;

Makers
Weller
Eagle Rare
Four Roses Small Batch

I had a great time and enjoyed each of these great bourbons while in the great state of Kentucky!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Wish I would've known you were in KY, would have tried to meet up. I was in Lexington on Friday doing an event and Louisville Saturday for another.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Dang, I was in Lexington at the Hilton Suites! That would have been awesome!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Out of respect I will list Wild Turkey as number one. It has been, since 1980, my staple bourbon
and it's like saying you don't love your mother anymore because you met another woman.
But after that, Woodford Reserve is the total package. I have not tried many of the others
in this thread, since I AM loyal to the old Turkey. It can get in the way when you are not
a rich man. You don't have the fundage' to walk into a liquor store and "try" something new.
You go for what you know. (not that money spent on a bottle of whiskey that cost alot of
money would be WASTED, per se'...it's whiskey, after all.) Plus, my mad money is spoken for.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Ladies and gentleman, today I hit the jackpot when it comes to bourbon collecting. I was able to pick up 2 sets (2 bottles per set) of the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection. To give you an idea how rare these bottles are, each bottle is filtered using a different method. Each bottle is .375 liters. Only ONE barrel is used per bottling with an evaporation rate of 51%. Needless to say, these are next to impossible to get. I've been trying to get a hold of a set for a few years now, finally today I got my keep. Now the question is if I'll open them, lol.

oh chill out and give me a bit, lol.

There you bastages go.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Woke up to a bottle of Knob Creek this morning. The wife maid a good choice this year. :D Wasn't planning an doing any drinking today, though I had to sit down for a taste or two.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Enjoy the Knob Creek while you can. Apparently they are coming up on a shortage and don't have enough to finish out the year. The good thing is that they refuse to bottle next years release early so that quality remains.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I finally cracked open my bottle of Eagle Rare 17 from the '08 antique collection.... and it is good!

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

That looks fantastic! :dr

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

That's some good stuff. I think I'm going to get a 1.75 of either Woodford or Eagle Rare to take on vacation for my step-dad and I for the week.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I've been working on a bottle of Eagle Rare 10 for about two weeks and I've been loving it...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I need to decide what to take to FL next week. I have some Woodford Reserve, Ridgemont 1792, and Four Roses Small Batch. What do you think I should take?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

LOL, I was about to pose a similar question. To answer yours first, I'd say the Four Roses. Now onto mine.

I'm going on vacation next week and need to buy a 1.75 of bourbon. Should I do Woodford, Eagle Rare, or Knob Creek?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

would my choice of the three

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I would say Eagle Rare or Woodford...I do not like Knob Creek too much :2

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Between the 3 choices, I'd say Woodford.
Good to the last drop.:)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Then again, my local Costco carries Makers Mark 1.75 liter bottles at $34.99, so I always go for them.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Hmmm, they sell any of the ones I listed?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

Mine doesn't.
Can't speak for all of them, though, as different locations
seem to carry different items.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I've seen Knob Creek at Costco before. Can't remember the price though.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I need to revisit woodford reserve, last time I had it :pu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

I had a nice little treat today. While out visiting shops I stopped by one of my accounts and I forgotten I had left a bottle of Buffalo Trace in my Stepdad's locker. Hadn't had it in a while so I took a few minutes and had a glass while smoking with the owner. It was a slow sales day so it brightened my afternoon. I wish Buffalo Trace was available in GA, but it gives me a reason to visit SC (not that hanging with the PSHC wasn't enough :D)

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

All that great bourbon you have and you're choosing between those 3 :r

My choice would be the ER. :tu

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

hate to make you old lushes feel too good about yourselves, but out of all the specialty threads at CA, this is by far the most useful. I discovered Woodford Reserve one day when I was hung over from Wild Turkey. I took a chance and I guess I got lucky. A man with money in hand and not much knowledge could make a mistake with all the stuff out there. The top shelf doesn't get too much of a threat from me, but I do like to splurge now and again. These reccos will come in very handy if I ever see another dollar.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

As usual, Floyd "distilled" the whole point down. What a whiskey drinker buys rarely has anything to do with marketing or trends, it's what you are comfortable with and can enjoy at a price that makes you feel alright. Not that trying everything is bad. I just rarely seem to find the time in between bottles of Turkey. I know I have said that already, but It's what gets poured at my house. What I will try after reading this thread is Basil Hayden's and that bonded rye. Next year I might try something else new, lol.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
 

PVW 12 and 20. No need to go any further.
