Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I have a bottle of Bourbon that Bobarian gave me for Christmas. How are you supposed to drink this stuff?

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Bourbon is best drank IMO with one ice cube per shot. I've found that while drinking it straight without ice will give you a great flavor profile, adding an ice cube per ounce really brings the flavors out.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I don't think it's for me. I had some with some ice. The fire from it almost shut my throat down.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I just cant understand some of the bourbon selections in here. Different strokes for different folks. I lived in Central KY for 14 years and have been to almost every distillery in the area. My favorites are:
Four Roses Single Barrel Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 1792 Barrel Select And I know a few master distillers personally. There are secrets in the bourbon industry! |

If that doesn't work for you, then bourbon may not be your thing. Using more water will only ruin a true bourbon experience. BTW what is the proof of the bourbon your trying to drink?

Which Bourbons in particular suprise you? Eagle Rare, Stagg, Knob Creek, or something else? What surprises you about these or others? their price, their availability, their taste? And these secrets? If you have insider knowledge about the bourbon industry that's great, but why elude to it here without some expectation of curiousity? I just feel to throw a statement out there in this thread caused a least two members to say huh? |

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Ok I guess I am more suprised by what I did not see or see very often to include:
Old Weller Elijah Craig SB Hancocks Reserve Jefferson Reserve Old Rip Van Winkle Blantons Bookers Also as far as secrets if you drink certain "premium" bourbons next to certain "cheap" bourbons, you will see how eerily similar they taste. Last edited by WildBlueSooner; 03-01-2009 at 09:33 AM. |

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I always thought that bourbon barrels that fit a particular taste profile are bottled accordingly and that there are a number of different brands that can come from the same stock. Usually the honey barrels would go to the premium brands. Of course this is what I have come to understand but please inform me if this is incorrect...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Yep nobody said expensive = good. Though some products are worth the money IMHO.
