Food and Drink Any Bourbon drinkers out there? - Page 71

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 buy from a place that sells it for $40/handle, but that's because it's the owner's dad's favorite.

And try the rye version. Of the other ryes I've tried (Crown, Knob Creek, Pendleton), Bulleit is the best.

Damn bruh I paid 35

Going low carb for a while so sipping some bourbon. Picked up some EC Small batch at Sams Club today.

Its got some burn to it but is still fairly smooth if that makes sense. Definitely has a hot nose.

I like EC the 10 or maybe its 12 YO Im not as fond of the more expensive 15 yo. Good stuff.

One of the best bourbons you can buy for $30 and under. It's always on my bar and I always drink it neat. Find a good store pick and it's better than bourbons 2-3x it's price. Great stuff.

I haven't ventured into Japanese Whisky but I found a deal at Walmart that was too good to pass up.

$21.50 for a bottle. It's normally about $40 at Costco when they carry it or $45-50 at Total Wine.

What a steal and hope I like it. Cracking it this weekend!

I have seen that at Sams and was curious but didnt bite at 40. Another forum I frequent swear by Jap Scotch when they jumped in full force about 20 years ago. I really have no taste for scotch Whisky. But I would try Jap Whiskey Ill look forward to your thoughts.

If you find that you like it, let me know. I've got a few suggestions for Japanese whiskey you might want to check out.

I had EH Taylor Barrel Proof the other night. I can't think of any other bourbon now. I need to find a bottle, but $100+ is pushing it for me.

I am mostly a bourbon guy but this was too good to pass up. Supposedly lighter and more floral than bourbon.

Cracking Saturday and I'll let you know!

Just googled some stuff. Love the color on that!

Yamazaki Reserve Bottling Note
Released in Spring 2014, this is one of two Distiller's Reserve single malt whiskies from Suntory in Japan. This single malt from the Yamazaki distillery is jam-packed with superb red berry notes, gained from the whisky being matured in Bordeaux wine casks and Sherry casks. It also features malt matured in Mizunara casks, adding subtle fragrant oak notes.

The Likes Liquor on Wornall is selling some kind of Blantons. Apparently it's a big deal.

That's a shame. Unfortunately all the hipsters are ruining whiskey and now all we have are NAS.
