Speaking of that, all you Stagg drinkers, how do you enjoy your? Neat, with a drop of water, or on the rocks?

I almost always drink mine with ice. Though the 1st glass is poured neat so I can taste the bourbon before I add the ice.

For Derby I went on the cheap and grabbed a bottle of Old Crow. I've been told it is very good chilled.

You'll probably have to get it pretty cold!

I am kidding, I haven't had it in years and have no idea how it is... let us know...

Old Crow will work in a pinch, but it's a bit rough!

Next time, for about the same money get some Early Times. It's very smooth and easy to drink. For a buck or two more, go with Old Grandad, true great for very cheap money!

Wow, what a weekend at Derby! Lots of Woodford, Early Times Mint Julip (blah!), beers, and more Woodford was drank and many great Oliva cigars were smoked! Oh, and by the way, I hit the Derby winner on a $5 bet for $250! All in all a great weekend!

I have to say I was surprised at how easy it seemed to drink. I really didn't drink much straight, so I'll open back up in a couple of days. But right at this moment I'm going to say that it was easy to drink over ice and wasn't in-your-face powerfull.

I don't want to get too ahead of myself before I can actually sit down to a glass and say something like; I'd prefer a glass of Old Crow over Eagle Rare (and a few others).

Old Grandad wasn't too bad at all the last time I drank it. I believe it was the orange label.

Went into The Party Source today to pick up the Gentleman Jack for the Nub Live event in Columbus tomorrow and stopped by the bourbon section and what do I see? Rittenhouse Rye Bottled in Bond 100, FINALLY! Picked up 3 bottles of it. It's been a while since I've had this stuff, I still stand by it's one of the best rye's out there, and under $20 to boot. Just gotta find it and you'll be good!

Nice find!
I need to get some, to bad I gotta pay to have it shipped though.

Mr.Maduro · 05-12-2009, 07:33 PM

Just cracked my bottle of Sazerac from the '08 Antique collection. I don't know, I guess I should stick to Bourbon.

But before I do, I have a question....

How does this compare to other Ryes out there? Which other one should I give a chance?
