Food Bourbon Only

Why not. Let's talk bourbon. It's seeing a resurgence lately, there has been some talk.

Let's open it up.

Manhattans, Old Fashioned, flat out great bourbons on the rocks.

So many other threads, let's at least try (1%) to keep this one on topic. It doesn't need to stay front page, but, if someone wants to talk bourbon, let's talk it here.

Don't limit yourself, old man. There are many delicious varieties out there.

Dude, small batch bourbons are worthy. For real.

But for the majors, I'd put Woodford Reserve side to side with Makers and not flinch.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Oh, I like other brands
But bourbons not to be mixed
If you want a mixer, just use JD or something like that

Woodford is a good one for sure

Of course, this is just my opinion, for what thats worth, which is not much, from what Im told

Woodford is a good one for sure

It's a regular on my acquisition list. 1792, Woodford, Knob Creek. Those are my current top 3.

Basil's for cocktails. Makers is my new Jack.

I can't believe how far down my list Jack has fallen considering how long term of a relationship I've had with it, but yet, there it is.

Wild Turkey Rare Breed is one of my favorites - good mix of oak and spicy rye. Four Roses small batch is great for the price. Jefferson's does some really cool stuff with bourbon, I really like both the Reserve Groth Cask Finish and Ocean...though they get a bit pricey.

Jack and coke is all I know about bourbon. :hides:

My go to drink when I'm out is a knob creek
Manhattan, up. If they have something comparable but a bit more exotic like filibuster or buffalo trace I'll try that instead.

Filibuster dual cask though, unf

 

[Duke]

Hmm. Fillibuster bourbon. Haven't heard of that one yet.

 

[Amstel]

@Duke grab some Larceny. Very very good.

I like that you like Basil too

 

[strawberry love]

I like old fashioned

Not a huge fan of 1792, much prefer knob and bulleit.

It's a local thing. If you're good I may send you some.

I'm also obsessed with four roses small batch and Blantons.

When I raced in Chattanooga last year I went to the first legal distillery in the city and snagged a bottle of their first run bourbon. Holy fuckbats it is delicious.

 

[Jehannum]

But I also only have them straight, with 3 ice cubes.

 

[Amstel]

Small ice cubes or a tumbler full of burbon?

I just do 1 cube in a rocks glass
