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 |

Popped my bourbon cherry with Eagle and Pappy...I thought Pappy was smoother than Eagle but have since achieved a palate to appreciate the sweetness and smoothness of both. Makers is ok, but not in this class...frankly Buffalo Trace's 'lowest' bourbon, Buffalo Trace is much better than Makers, Elijah or the Knob.

Wild Turkey 101 is great stuff but not lately. I do love it to make stiff cocktails though.
3oz is a normal pour for a cocktail drink for me. Are you getting drunk on 3oz of 101?

Honestly though, if you prefer Maker's over any of the Pappy bottlings, I'd say you simply don't like your bourbon with heavy oak character, which Pappy will definitely have. Pappy isn't the end all-be all of bourbons by any means, but it is certainly more complex and flavorful than Maker's. Any Pappy bottling has also spent a lot longer in the barrel than any bottling of Maker's. |

It's not bourbon but the girls at my office got me a bottle of 18 year Glenmorangie. Very tasty.
I'm trying to build my scotch repertoire. Got s few nice bottles thus far but my macallan rare cask is probably my highest thus far I play golf with a guy that's a higher up in oreilly auto parts and had a 30 year macallan at the club. Bastard wouldn't share |

Wild Turkey 101 is a danged fine 'daily pour' bourbon. These days it's no longer an 'age statement' bottle (used to be 7 years in the not too distant past) but is usually 'mingled' from some older, some younger whiskey until it hit's a sweet taste spot. If you're making a mixed drink, an old fashioned etc...a great starting point.
I can't speak to the Wild Turkey 86 proof - I'm not a fan of lower proof boubon. With that in mind I will say that I prefer to spend a little more and buy Wild Turkey Rare Breed, which usually markets @ 117 proof or so. I buy mine @ Costco/MO - best price I've found yet. As part of my constant diet, I only get one drink per day, and when you're only having one - have a good one, as the kids say.
