You and Mangyrat need to get together and coordinate your usage of the words through and threw.

This dang english language is hard enough without drinking cheap bourbon first!!

After reading this thread I picked up both Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve. I found Woodford smoother on the front end while Buffalo finished a little mellower. Both well worth the price!

I agree.
I find myself going to the Buffalo Trace more often, between the two. I enjoy the initial bite, followed by the smoothness. It transitions very quickly.

I tried Buffalo Trace for the first time the other day. It is quite nice.

Has anyone tried Sam Houston straight bourbon?

I haven't seen it in my neck of the woods. How does it compare to the Buffalo?

I finished the Woodford a few evenings ago and finished with a Buffalo Trace and I have to agree on the preference.

Sam Houston is made with quite a bit more rye, so it should have a little "spice" on the finish. I'm not an expert, but it seems like a nice counter-balance to a full flavored, earthy cigar. I don't know where to begin with a comparison or description.

Picked up a bottle of 1792 last night and was very happy with it. Better than Woodford in my opinion.
