Picked up a couple bottles today. The Maker's has become a staple for me, and the Basil was recommended.

Drank some Blanton's tonight with a Tatuaje black tubo. Fantastic.

You will definitely like Basil Haydens. It is a staple in my bar.

Guitarman-S.T- · 03-12-2010, 10:04 PM

Nice glass of Bulleit tonight!

WildBlueSooner · 03-15-2010, 05:31 PM

I will be buying a bottle to add to my growing choices...thinking Evan Williams SB, Eagle Rare, Basil Haydens.

Has anyone had John J. Bowman yet? I just discovered it. Made in Fredricksburg, VA. Very smooth with noticable hints of Vanilla. Not too pricey at $50 for single barrel.

Started off with Eagle Rare 10 Single Barrel after work.

My bedtime pour is some Old Weller Antique 10/107, a single barrel selection by Cork N' Bottle. (it is typically vatted). I need to stock up on it as it is my favorite "wheater" to date; I enjoy it more than Van Winkle 10/107 and Van Winkle Family Reserve "Lot B".

If you have a large local liquor store with "buying power", be sure to watch out for their selections. You can find single barrel offerings of typically vatted stuff, which can make a world of difference.

Eh, Makers and Woodford are way overrated and overpriced IMO. There's much better bourbon cheaper.

Drinking some Old Rip Van Winkle 10yr 107 right now.

I was finally about to score a bottle of this. It's hard as hell to get around here. I work at a big liquor store and have been trying to get this for 6 months. The 20 and 23yr are easier to get than this. I have the ORVW 12yr Lot B which is awesome and cannot wait to try this Pappy 15yr.

I bought a bottle of Old Grand Dad 114 yesterday. What are your thoughts on it?

I like it quite a bit, especially for the price. Obviouslly pretty hot at first opening (still good though), but I corked it back, let it sit for a few months and it's surprisingly smooth now.

Picked a bottle of Eagle Rare today:

One of my favorites. Nice spicy bourbon with vanilla and wood. Some bottles have a slight fruitiness to them. Always have a bottle in the cabinet.

Well it's Derby Week!

Today I did the Robby Albarado Celebrity Golf Tournament with Woodford Reserve. Tonight is a cigar dinner with Heaven Hill. Tomorrow is an event at J. Shepherd Cigar shop with Jefferson's Reserve. Wednesday is the annual KY Derby Celebrity Jocky Bartending event at Prime Lounge with Woodford Reserve. Friday is Oaks, Saturday is Derby. Whew. Needless to say, lots of bourbon this week!

BengalMan · 04-27-2010, 11:02 AM

Finished the cigar dinner event last night and went over to one of the dinner attendees to continue the bourbon sampling. Here is a picture of what our options were. Needless to say, it was unreal.

kenstogie · 04-27-2010, 01:56 PM

Seems like there was alot of recommendations for the Evan Williams Single Barrell. (I really enjoyed it too

)

What's next on the "have to try" list??
