Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Pouring old weller 107. IMO this is a very underrated wheater. Beautiful dark appearance. I'd love to get my hands on some 12yo to try. Darn N.C. being an ABC state....

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
A friend of mine let me try some Knob Creek…and I was pleasantly surprised. So I picked up a bottle of Basil Hayden (at the recommendation of a friend), and I'm quite enjoying it. I'm a complete newbie to it. Any recommendations?
I never ventured down this road primarily due to the "burns" I got from scotch…and I just lumped all whiskey/bourbon/scotches into the same boat…and skipped them. Shame on me. Anyhoo. Carry on.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Hey Scotty, there are a few good suggestions in this thread but a good place to start would be Woodford Reserve. Not the Double Oak or whatever, just the straight stuff.
Although I prefer my bourbon neat, you might try throwing just 1 or 2 ice cubes in the glass and let them do their thing until melted. It will lower the temp just a bit of the bourbon which some feel you get less alcohol burn from. It also dilutes the drink just a bit but not too much to ruin the taste. Pretty soon you will be getting on the wait list for Pappy's. You are probably going to get a ton of suggestions though but Woodford is a pretty safe bet IMHO. |

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Sweet! Thanks for the advice. The Spec's by me is a new store, so they don't have crap in stock. They DO have Hendricks gin, though. My other fav.
I'll venture out to a better store and see what they have.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
So I've been enjoying the bourbon as of late. Might have to consult this thread and posters some more...

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Didn't venture...due to holiday traffic...but I went back to the place by my house and they have Bulleit 750ml on sale for $20. Pretty tasty.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Pretty good stuff, I like it. At $20 it's a fair price too.
