Foo - The Bourbon Thread

Post your faves here- here are a couple to get us started:

Maker's Mark
Knob Creek
Woodford Reserve

(just 'cause I didn't post Jack doesn't mean I don't like it- I thought I'd give Vega first dibs on that)

Knob Creek

Bakers
Basil Hayden

Jack is not Bourbon. It needs to be made in Kentucky to be called Bourbon.

Jim Beam, the black label.

Hmm- I don't know these- I'll have to check 'em out! As to Jack- I thought it was a Bourbon, due to its corn content. But actually, I think it's not a Bourbon because of the filtering and barrelling process that's used there.

For 14.00 you get the 1/2 gallon plastic jug that doesnt break
when you drop or throw it. Pop out that E-Z pour thing to facilitate
larger gulps :)

none. bourbon is nasty.

i don't like bourbon. except for Maker's Mark. that's good stuff.

+1 for Maker's Mark. When I was younger and didn't have money for MM, I would buy T.W. Samuels. It is very similar and, way back when, was a lot cheaper.

Bookers is my fave.

Darn it...why couldn't I read this thread last night? I have to drive this afternoon and now I'm thirsty.

Maker's Mark, for sure.
Wild Turkey is great too...more of a woody flavor, but not as smooth.
Haven't tried Woodford Reserve, but I toured the distillery back in high school. Pretty cool operation.

Having had them all, I must say it's woodford reserve. Not only have I drunk this nectar of the gods, but I have BIKED to their distillery and taken the full tour, complete with free tastings and free bourbon balls as well. e started from downtown frankfort and rode to versailles and back - approx a 40mile trip with some excellent scenery and a whole lot of cars going WTF?! :)

End this tour with a stop at Rick's White-light diner. They let us in AFTER closing and still fed us and talked to us. Amazing folks.

Mmmmm bourbon balls! Nothing says this time of the year like bourbon balls.

1) Booker's
2) Maker's Mark

I won't buy any other...I'll drink it if offered, but those are the only two you will see in my liquor cabinet.

Whatever you are pooring into my glass.

Back in my early days-o-drinkin

Hello old thread. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL4HSCwk1fg)

My bro 'n law's 50th b'day is coming up. He likes Bulleit but I'll get one of these other fine suggestions. For me, bourbon is sort of like coffee...the smell is better than the flavor.

My favorite Bourbon is Louis XIV.

Good ol Jack. My first drunk, my first hangover and my first "last time I will ever touch that crap". That was 30 years ago.

Civilized people don't drink Bourbon.

What do they drink? (I'm a beer/wine guy myself, so I have no opinion on "hard" alcohol)

Jim Beam, the white label.

Wild Turkey. The 101 only if I need to get hammered and am short on time.
