whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

just curious if there were any bourbon drinkers out there

i been on a wild turkey kick since new years when i finished off a bottle of Russell's Reserve( made by wild turkey) pretty good stuff (90 proof)

Right now i am starting on a bottle of wild turkey rare breed this batch is 108.2 proof this ---- is straight out of the barrel no cutting it is comprised of 6yr,8yr, and 12 barrels
these are not for the fagots that like to drink mixed drinks to hide the alcohol these are meant to be enjoyed neat.

Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage aint to shabby.... Especially for being in the $20 Range. Its only 87 Proof. Its at least better then Gentleman Jack. ;)

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

I don't see how people can drink ---- like that. I'll take shots of vodka, maybe some patron, but I can't say it's a taste I like. :l

Its an aquired taste tought through stress, depression, anger, frustration and alcoholism. :-*

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

7th generation Master Distiller at Evan Williams is Craig Beam as in Jim Beam!! I wonder is this just a coincidence

Ill have to give that a try.


I was at a party and a friend gave me a glass of cuervo black honestly i hate almost everything they make but this was pretty decent almost like a bourbon with agave tones to it. and I also drank it neat

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

Cuervo black is just tequila aged in oak cask just like whiskey. Thats where it gets its color. I got really burnt out on Jose Cuervo as a teenager. They do make a nice top shelf tequila call Reserva De la Familia. Its about $120. Its a sipping Tequila. I got to taste it at a wine diner for work. Its ------- smooth!

As a side note; Cuervo black is targeting Jack Drinkers drinkers. We did alot of "Black and Coke" tie-ins for it when it first came out.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

have you tried the Jack Daniels single barrel its pretty good. i reluctantly tried it after my uncle told me about it cause i hate most jd stuff. boy was i surprised

yea the the family reserve i have been meaning to try that. I also like all of the beam small batch bourbons such as basil haden, bookers(one of my favorite),bakers, knob creek.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

Bought my dad a bottle of JD Single Barrel for xmas 2 years ago. From what I remember it was killer. My dad, bro, and me finished the bottle that same xmas night.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

Haha nice bottle :)

I'll have to try and find some of that old ----. Anybody ever used to drink cheapass e&j? They got some "special reserve" crap coming out now too ::) Got a free sample last time i went to the ABC.

I just finished a bottle of turkey myself a night or two ago, wasn't nothin special though just the usual off the shelf 101 proof.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

so how was the brandy and what one was it they make a lot of different types

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

it was better than the regular vsop, i think it was e&j vsop special reserve, or something like that. I can't remember too well how it tasted because I was already pretty drunk on the turkey before I tried it.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

they got one named E & J Very Old that is like 50 bucks a bottle is this the one cause vsop is cheap ----

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

i cant drink ---- to strong. soco is the strongest i get, otherwise i'm a huge rum guy rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr matie

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

Nah, this is something new that hasn't came out yet. I think it's just more expensive cheap ----...or cheaper more expensive stuff.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

i like the private stock from captain morgan ( the only mid range i have tried) soco is like 70 proof correct??

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

soco is 80, and the black top is 100..

I like crown myself.. ofcourse theres other stuff, i have yet to try... but that will have to wait some other daY

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

have you tried the crown special reserve i used to drink crown until i had an epiphany that it was not the best... but each to their own.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

Are you a vendor/salesman?

As for whiskey/whisky I have alwaysliked bushmill's, priced pretty decently aswell

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

I tried a it at an Irish pub in the early 90's it was 20 dollars a shot!!! i am sure was the 21 year varity cause when the bartender got it, he got it from a wooden type crate or coffin. GOOD STUFF

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

good old Rebel Yell!!!!!!!

http://rebelyellwhiskey.com/images/revel_logo.jpg

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

Rebel yell how much is it? I usually stay away from low end bourbons and whiskeys

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

it's cheap, $20 a 1.75L, but it is wheat mash, alot smoother.

Not sold north of the Mason-Dixon line, a 18 yo girl turned me onto it......but she's a skirmisher, and when done shooting, nothing left to do but cleans guns and drink.........

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

skirmisher?? i guess thats y i have yet to try it since i line in hawaii

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

Whisky and whiskeys can be compared if you are somewhat uncouth. Discussing bourbon along side whiskey is immoral. Besides, most small batch bourbons are disgustingly sweet. :-X

Here it is, bitches, and you'll probably never find a bottle:

I miss you, baby. :'(

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

What is the difference between whiskey and whisky, I know it has something to do with scottland i just dont remember.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

Die.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

well i thought i would include the masses being that most dont know the difference between the two. and far as small batch bourbons being sweet give me examples of them

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

Small batch is a trade name for high end ---- produced by either Beam or Jack, I forget, but it sums up the lot of low-production overly sugary and soda pop smooth high dollar crap that gets foisted on the mouth breathing general public who thinks price = quality and masturbates to HT tech writeups.

Knob Creek, Booker's, Gentleman Jack, etc, crap. Bourbons are too sweet to be subtle and have the earthy flavors that suit complex palates liquors, they need a little raw/rough finish to bring them character and distinction whereas various whiskies have radically different characters with no redundant pedestrian traits suck as "caramel" or "refined white sugar", except to the sort of flaming homo that likes to drink pink wine in public and thinks it's haute culture. Makers Mark and Jack Daniels is about as good as it gets before it starts sucking ass, folks, don't get confused by the fast talk and the expensive looking billboard.

Then again, I'm a professional drunk unlike most, and I toasted the New Year with a '97 Brunello di Montalcino... at 7 pm, before I started taking shots of tequila. :-*

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

ya know i disagree with you knob creek and especially bookers are not sweet and as far as gentleman jack dont even put that whiskey in the same category.

and besides Makers Mark is a bourbon and is a decent one too as far as jd is concerned it is straight ass only thing jd makes that is worth a damn is the single barrel.

so what do I know? I toasted the new year with Russell's Reserve. I am not a bar drinker thus I am am not a professional i sit at home enjoying what the fine state of Kentucky has porduced.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

bushmills irish whiskey.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

snip

Well, seeing as how you refer to bourbon as whiskey, nothing. ::)

PS - seeing as Kentucky is full of inbreeds, I say we redraw the Mason-Dixon along your Southern border. In the future, I'll buy only Tennesee whiskeys.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

"Bourbon is an American whiskey, and as such is made under strict federal guidelines
"http://www.greatbourbon.com/proof.html

Bourbon is a type of American whiskey predominantly made in the southern United States. It is made of a blend of different grains, with the bulk of the grain alcohol coming from corn, and grains such as malted barley, rye, or wheat making up the rest.
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-bourbon.htm

To be called Kentucky Bourbon the Whiskey must have been produced and aged in Kentucky.

To be called a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey all of the Whiskey in the bottle must have the above characteristics i.e. not blended with other Whiskey’s.

Well i am originally from Tennessee and now reside in Hawaii.

Re: whats your favorite whiskey/bourbon
 

I drank redbull and vodka along with Corona and don't even remember "the countdown" to 2007 so ---- off. I guess you have to be really smart to enjoy "good" alcohol. :1
