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 |

Here is a great video I came across this past summer on the making of a mint julep. The bartender Chris is also some what of a historian of bartending and drinks. Well worth the watch if you enjoy the art.

Good job by raiderhader to link the New Orleans Best Cocktails video series. That's my favorite cocktail web series out there.
Also, a couple of drops of water can really help some bourbons and whiskeys open up, in my experience. |

I'm serious and literal when I say "drops." A tiny amount of water makes a nice impact. I wouldn't recommend a drop or two of water for all whiskeys though. But some are made more expressive by virtue of a drop or two.

Yes. Makers Mark, especially when cold, turns almost into caramel with a few drops of water.
