Bourbons

Now there's one I haven't had in a looooong time. Seldom seen.

I have not seen in a long time myself and the bonded JW DANT is my favorite bourbon of all time.

I think the brand name is still around and if I recall correctly, Heaven Hill is the current producer. It seems to mostly ...or perhaps exclusively, be sold in KY though. From what little I've heard it's described as barely a shell of the original / older stuff.

I've tried a few bourbons and whiskeys, but didn't like them. That is until I stumbled upon Rogue Dead Guy Whiskey.

I really enjoy Four Roses Special Reserve. I am usually drinking Scotch but once in a while I have some Bourbon. Knob Creek and Makers Mark never miss the spot either. Since I have been married, I haven't been drinking as much.

This thread is pretty old but, what the hell. I usually buy Jim Beam but occasionally get Maker's. Pretty basic compared to some of the brands I've seen on here. What can I say; I'm easy.

If I'm making a mixed drink, and it calls for bourbon, I like Maker's. It's only when I'm drinking bourbon neat that I'll reach for the more elusive stuff.

If the only purpose is to drink a lot of bourbon, then I like Jim Beam, too. I like it better than Jack Daniels or Southern Comfort.

WOW, I thought I was a loner with the Jim Beam. I used to drink Jack Daniels in my youth, but anymore it just tastes like I'm sucking on a charcoal briquette.

I keep intending to try some other brands, but when I'm in the store I end up reaching for the old reliables. I don't do mixed drinks anymore, just pour it over ice to cool it (and cuts the edge a bit by adding water from the melting ice).

I enjoy Makers 46. Much better than the original Makers Mark.

Being in the middle of Bourbon Country I am surrounded by distilleries, but I have to say that I am a Markers fan. Used to go to the distillery every year for the Ambassadors Weekend.

I mean, I like Makers. I like Makers 46. But if I had $35-$40 to blow on a bottle of bourbon, it's not going to be on Makers. Too many other selections out there I like better. It's good for a 'house' blend with mixed drinks for guests, but not my first choice for sipping.
