Default 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.

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.

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

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.
