Food and Drink Any Bourbon drinkers out there? - Page 66

The Poz · 06-19-2008, 01:04 PM

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

How's the Blanton's Gold?

The gold is really good and smooth.

As a everyday drinker Old Grand Dad 100 BIB is a old favorite when I find it in stock. I would like to try this OGD 114 that https://www.whisky.com/whisky-databa...114-proof.html gives high marks. I have not seen it before has anyone had this?

Horst Luening is a trip to watch his reviews but he makes no bones about if he likes or dislikes.

Oh ya the big daddy OGD114. Its got some heat to it, not for the faint of heart. Its pretty prevalent around here (Wichita)

Decent when you consider the price. Nothing amazing though and the finish had some heat. I like it as a relatively inexpensive bourbon in bourbon heavy cocktails. I wouldn’t go out of my way to find it though.

I figured this article could provide some value to anyone here who may buy or trade bourbon/beer on social media platforms. It's regarding changes to section 230. I know Reddit banned all alcohol related trading platforms last week and there's some talk that these changes could extend to other platforms such as Facebook. I actually had an open beer trade in progress on Reddit last week when the sub was banned.

RU talking about just the basic Buffalo Trace whiskey? On the West coast it's $25 every and easy to buy.

My go to daily is Elijah Craig small batch, mostly because I can get it in 1.75 ltr for $40. Good whiskey at that price.

BT is 21 a bottle in Missouri. Blantons is 50 to 55 here not as easy to find as before. They are both distilled at the buffalo trace distillery.

I haven't had a BT in awhile, but my memory of it was that it was smooth, but not very distinctive tasting. I like a bit richer tasting whiskeys.

Where did you find it in Joplin? I have looked a few places this week and hadn't found any yet.

Hey thanks for looking out for me!

Glad you scored one! Costco here had a Case I guess. Gone within hours and I didn’t make it.
