Buffalo Trace for me.

[cigarsarge]

Booker's with a splash of water is my favorite. Knob Creek is next in line.

Buffalo Trace

You gents that mentioned Buffalo Trace, how much have you been through? It's available here but wasn't initially.

I found it to always be good whiskey but thought it was kind of inconsistent from bottle to bottle. A couple of bottles were noticeably spicier than others.

Where is "here"?

Buffalo Trace is very good . Basically I like bourbon and will try anything that comes in a glass bottle

Agreed it has always proven good. And after more thought, something I neglected to consider, since the brand was originally only available in Kentucky, some of the bottles I went through earlier were part of the barrel purchase program not necessarily representative of shelf product.

Roger that!

As much as I enjoy George T. Stagg and other uncut/barrel strength whiskies, Booker's is one that'll drink but haven't really learned to love. It's also one of a few that I feel begs at least a splash of water as you suggest for me own personal taste.

A little water cuts the alcohol bite a bit and allows the flavors to be tasted.

Hey Che'...Tell us a bit more about yourself. Seems like I remember you from the past.

I agree. I've found Booker's to be pretty aggressive. If given a choice in the family, I prefer Bakers followed by Knob. But as said, I won't turn down Noe's namesake.

Same ole' guy. Did lose track of the site though after a computer crash several years ago. We're talkin' back when the board still had the old school appearance. I admit, the newer look threw me off.

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

[TachyCoventry]

1) Woodford Reserve
2) Knob Creek
3) Maker's Mark

I haven't seen the Buffalo Trace yet but I'm going to have to look for it. I actually love Bourbon and always have a bottle stashed away in the house in case my bottle in the freezer runs out!

[Eville]

My favorites are
1)Ridgemont 1792
2)Woodford reserve
3)Makers
5)4 Roses

Nice lists!

Woodford Reserve, Lord knows I tried! I just don't have a lot of luck with that one. It's always highly rated with great sales. I've had 1 excellent bottle and thereafter, I've never been able to match that first experience.


Others report that they get bottle after bottle of excellent returns.

Keep em' coming.

Che - we hardly know you... In the 5 years or so you've been around, I don't believe we've ever been graced with a formal introduction. Care to share?

Another vote for Booker's.
