The reason I ask is with the Derby coming up, I will be making some mint julep's. Right now I only have a few sipping bourbon's and not sure I want to use them for the juleps. However, cheap bourbon usually means a cheap tasting mix drink as well. What are your thoughts?
As with any cocktail, a higher quality liquor produces a better drink, IMO.
Would you use a $200+ bottle for cocktails? Of course not. But any high-end bottle, say < $50, wll make a much better drink than the standard well booze.
