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 |

The single barrel is unquestionably better, but I like the small batch fine for the price. Hard pressed to find much better in the $30 range, though admittedly the market is more crowded. Not to go all Guru, but I find it hard to justify > $40 on the regular. I used to drink Maker’s/Knob Creek regularly, but wanted a step up, even if it is a small step. Granted, I’m a 2 cubes guy, not a neat drinker, so that says plenty.

This was my experience as well with cocktails. Neat it was meh. I'd rather drink Wild Turkey or Buffalo Trace for the price.

Some others to try if you'd like for $30 and under: Evan Williams Single Barrel Elijah Craig Eagle Rare Henry McKenna Russel's Reserve Larceny I think Maker's is over-rated. Knob Creek is decent. Theme is drink what you like though!

I never know which one to pick. I leave it up to my Kentucky friend.

Pour one for the homies.
Sounds like the other half of the rickhouse in Kentucky collapsed today. |

They didn't move everything out after the first collapse?

I don't believe they attempted, or were allowed, to. Structurally unsound and flowing into a nearby creek probably brought out all kinds of badges and red tape.
I'm wondering if they'll be able to salvage some and create a "survivor" blend we can all over pay for. |

It's amazing to me how dialed in the bourbon that comes out of Kentucky is compared to people trying to make good bourbon in other states. I wonder what it is about that area that just works so damn well.

I drove through Kentucky back in 2005 when I found a feed truck on the internet to go check out. Driving through the countryside all the barns were painted black. Really weird. That place is slam full of Omish people. Wonder if they were all drunk on barn paintin day ?

Right place, right time today. I really enjoyed the Weller Special Reserve I found in KC, so I'm looking forward to trying this over the weekend.
