Any Bourbon drinkers out there?
I've heard some good things about Buffalo Trace Bourbon.
http://www.buffalotrace.com/ Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order. Thanks |

Had Blanton's for the first time and really enjoyed it. This is sort of a new world to me.
Really got into Jameson Irish Whiskey...though around the house I often enjoy Buffalo Trace Bourbon. |

Basil Hayden is proof you don't have to spend $60-$80 to get a good Bourbon.

Whether you prefer Makers Mark or Knob Creek is strictly personal preference. I prefer Makers but they are really neck and neck. And I prefer Woodford Reserve to either of them, but they are all peas in a pod -- just personal preference.
I think Bulleit and Buffalo Trace are great at price point but don't rise to the level of the Bourbons listed above. |

Yes. Routinely drink it as 1 of my staples. Smooth. Not in order but my staples:
Angels Envy, Breckenridge Special Release, Hudson 4 grain, Makers. I'm just about to try a Missouri Bourbon called Montgomery County from Wood Hat Distillery. I also like an Iowa Bourbon from Cedar Ridge I tend to go with small distilleries except for Angels envy and Makers Mark. Last edited by Coyote; 09-13-2015 at 07:36 AM.. Reason: I initially called it "Cedar Creek" viice Cedar Ridge in case somebody wanted to try it. |

Woodford Reserve is OK, but a bit overpriced. I actually really like Buffalo Trace and Bulleit both more than I like Woodford. If you truly want both quality and value, it doesn't get much better than Old Granded 114 or Evan Williams 1783. Neither will run more than $20-25 and are just fantastic every day pours, either neat or in cocktails. |

I used to really like Makers, but I'm not that big of a fan any longer. Just a little too smooth and single note for my tastes, now.

Very fascinating thread, like to keep checking it on a regular basis! Do most of you guys like these bourbons on the rocks or with water, to get the best flavor and enjoyment?
thanks, Jim |

That's mostly a preference thing. I typically enjoy my whiskey neat, but I have had plenty of pours that benefited greatly from a splash or two of water (typically high octane barrel-strength stuff like Stagg Jr. or Elijah Craig Barrel Proof).
