Bourbons

[ggiese]

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.

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.

Yesterday Momma and I enjoyed an Opus X and a wee bit of Angels Envy (the bourbon aged in port barrels).

Angels Envy is amazing. A little pricey for me though. I usually stick to Beam Devils Cut. But when I have the extra $$ I buy AE.

I'm going to add one I haven't seen on anybody's list.
Oola is one of my all time favorite. It's hard to get but we'll worth the search.
