Any bourbon drinkers out there?

[Miketodd]

I'm not just talking about Jim Beam or Wild Turkey. How about some lesser known stuff? I enjoy Elmer T. Lee, Angels Envy, Eagle Rare, Woodford Reserve, Willet Pot Still Reserve or even Bulleit
Anyone else enjoyna good Kentucky Bourbon?

Went with the girlfriend, brother, and sister in law and hit 5 distilleries last month (Maker's, Beam, Willett, Heaven Hill, and Barton's). I gained quite an appreciation for bourbon that weekend.

I'm still more an Irish and Canadian whisky guy, but I really enjoyed Elijah Craig 12, Willett Pot Still, and Basil Hayden. They're all very different but very tasty. We plan to go back to cover the Frankfort area distilleries later this year.

Makers and Bookers.

 

[Nate Suns]

I really enjoy Bulleit also. Although I've been drinking more Basil Hayden and Elijah Craig lately.

Buffalo Trace is a great tour and facility. I am partial to most of their brands but I do like Bulleit and a new one by Lincoln Henderson called Angels Envy.
I have toured Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hills, 4 Roses, Wild Turkey, Makers Mark and Woodford Reserve.

Jefferson's Presidential Select 18 year old. I preferred the 17, but that's disappeared and the 18 is all I can find today. Still very good.

Wild Turkey 101...

Hubby loves his bourbon, and since my parents moved to Lexington, he's been even more happy about the stuff.

His two big favs are Eagle Rare and the bottle of Pappy Von Winkle my Dad got him for xmas. Keep having to tell him to go easy because who knows if we'll be lucky enough to see it at the distillery again.

Old George Dickle is great for sipn but mixn I'd go Hennesy jmo

 

[Colinb913]

Woodford Reserve, Evan Williams, Buffalo Trace (single barrel), George T. Stagg, Old Rip Van Winkle, and Pappy Van Winkle, Bulliet, and you can't leave out Jefferson Presidential.

But no, I don't drink..

Keep this dude away from your liquor............

Caretaker denies drinking old whiskey at Pa. mansion, says it "evaporated" - Crimesider - CBS News


I swear to God it ... (hic) evaberrrated! Exaserrbated! Evapooorated!!!

 

[Miketodd]

You can get on a waiting list for Old Pappy Van Winkle, but IMHO, there are plenty of other bourbons that are just as good. My brother and I are waiting for the next round of Buffalo Trace's Single Oak Project. It is where they release bottles every 3 months, you log them online and tell them what you think of the taste. They are keeping records trying to find the "perfect" blend of Barrel and Recipe to turn into the "perfect" bourbon.

I just picked up the bottle of Buffalo Trace White Dog you see in my pic above. Holy cow is it good. I'm a big fan of high corn content and that stuff has a lot of corn in it. Yyyyuuuuuummmmmmmmyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

You need to re-supply your cabinet!

I've added about 4 bottles since these pictures were taken a couple weeks ago.

We stopped trying other flavors after our first 1792.

Mmmm, my favorite.

Been trying to find a Pappy Van Winkle, but the House of Bourbon said the last one they got in was something special and cost $250. I don't think I need to try that flavor that bad.

^^^ You don't like Makers Mark do you?? LOL. I LOVE the 46 and the Mint Julep.
