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 |

I tried Angel's Envy on Tuesday night and it was the FIRST bourbon I like!

I drink Scotch / Whiskey and Bourbon was always too harsh. Elijah Craig and Buffalo Trace both too harsh

I’m the exact opposite. The smokiness of Scotch just didn’t do it for me. Craig can certainly burn hot(especially some of the barrel strength), but always thought Trace was sort of mild. Maybe hang around the 80 proof stuff.

If you can't acquire a taste for the rye spice, try some bourbons that use wheat instead of rye. Maybe larceny or makers mark (or better yet makers 46 or 101). Redemption, 1792, and old elk also make wheated bourbons. |

My palate has definitely acclimated over the past year though... I'm sure if I had the Wild Turkey Rye last year (neat) it would have just been alcohol burn. |

The two on the right are expensive for what I'd usually pay for bourbon (Rittenhouse only being $30 though), but several great choices last night and tried to limit myself to a few.
Also tried the Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel at a bar that has a pretty great selection, and it immediately became a favorite. Craft beer has been somewhat disappointing around here (at least had a 2020 BCS last night though), but have tried some great bourbon lately. |

FYI… this years batch will be the last batch under the Stagg Jr name. Next year will be batch 18 so they are dropping the Jr. Will just be Stagg.
