Food and Drink Any Bourbon drinkers out there? - Page 80

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

Drink that bottle and get used to the taste. Try it neat and then with ice. Huge difference. My favorite is angles envy but I am currently doing Elijah Craig which I like.

You already know where I am from. Haha.

I will have to check the local draconian liquor stores. Damn state stores are barren.

Thanks man.

I like Baker's Bourbon. Though, I like to drink Negroni, nowadays.

While watching preseason I've been dipping into a bottle of Russel's Reserve 10 yr I bought last night and it's pretty solid for $30 price point and can actually find it.

To me, Woodford is bourbon that folks like when they want "smooth". It's just not for me. I like my bourbon to have some fire to it and Woodford typically has a lot less character and complexity than even a lot of my favorite cheap bourbons.

When it comes to bourbon, start with Evan Williams white label. If you like it, move on from there.

Having some Jefferson's "Very Small Batch" tonight.

They buy other bourbons and blend them. For $24 its pretty solid.

Blantons continues to be my favorite and benchmark for non cask strength. I’m rationing the hell out of what I have and wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a substitute that you can actually buy?

I can find Blanton’s here every few months but it’s now going for $70 here.

No thanks at that price.

You want it and I can get it for you though. Have an Arizona Barrel pick for $75 I can likely find too.

Let me know.

Exactly this for me too.

Smooth isn’t a characteristic I care about. To me that’s a fairly boring bourbon. I want a little fire and complexity on the finish.

Thanks but fortunately found a bottle recently so have plenty on hand.
