Food and Drink Any Bourbon drinkers out there? - Page 69

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

Is that Lagavulin 12 the really smokey stuff. I think that's what I had once at a friend's and the smoke taste was too much for me to enjoy. It was very unique though. Unlike anything I've ever tasted.

Nah...you're thinking of the 16 year, which is very peaty with lots of phenols. The 12 is a special edition that is lighter on the peat but perhaps a bit stronger on the phenols. Reminds me of a Springbank 15 year in some ways. Great dram.

And I agree, High West making some good products.

Old Grand Dad 100 BIB and Mello Yello is a pretty good mix even to this old man.

I cleaned the shelf at Walmart neighborhood market last summer when Walmart culled the shelfs of upper shelf Whiskeys. It was closed out at 15 bucks a bottle. Cant beat that although Costco sells Redemption Rye at a little over 13 bucks which in my opinion for mixed drinks is no slouch.

Maker's 46 is quite tasty as well.

The popularity of small batch bourbons has made finding old favorites once plentiful a futile waste of gas and effort. I can find all the Bookers I want around town but its better brother Bakers 107 is non existent. Also Rowan's Creek and Noah's Mill has disappeared in the KC area where it used to be plentiful.

I prefer Booker's over Baker's, personally.

And I was by no means arguing with your taste, we like what we like.

Tonight I have decided a little Wathen's is in order. I haven't dipped into this stuff in some time.

If you have the tolerance of a teenage girl perhaps.

I have and enjoyed it. Granted, I don't know shit and after reading up on Wathen's, I was a bit turned off by their lack of process disclosures and their reviews sucked, but damn if I didn't like what I've had from them. On the sweet side, imo.

Give it a try, if you can find it. I got it as a birthday present this year (about 3 months ago) and enjoyed the shit out of it.
