I loooooooooooveee Bourbon

I love it love it love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!11!!!1

tell me of yer luvs

Well it started back in the day with some Beam..........

and it stands today! 8 year is the fcuking ****!

nifty.
I have never been a big bourbon drinker.
I use it for recipes -- baked beans and whatnot.

I prefer Japanese Super Nikka over Jim Beam or JD for drinking.

I love bourbon...Alas bourbon does not love me.

After realising bourbon makes my personality less than ideal ( I get mean as f*cK ), then getting over that and forcing myself to be nice, it burned a hole in my stomache...So I switched to tequilla...I am much more entertaining (so my freinds say of the things I remember not) yet again...another hole...CRAP!!!

Hombrew and the ocasional brandy shot are all I can tolerate these days... BTW. I am durnkc, so forgive the typos

Drank my share back in my Navy days. Haven't had one in a long, long time.

seven long years i loved her well! no more bourbon or whisky for me...

Haven't had more than a few sips of any whiskey since an "accident" I had three years ago involving too much JD, two young ladies on speed, vomiting, waking up in the middle of the night mumbling mathematical formulas and some dude calling me Batman and challenging me to a wrestling match. At least, that's what I think happened. Not so sure about the details.

Oh you mean Tuesday night.

I love bourbon too. It started with jack, then I discovered maker's mark, then knob creek was even better, and now I can get woodford reserve for $25 and I can't wait to try it.

Coast- Makers is the best IMO- Knob is a better version of JB Black. But my love for JB goes deep!

Ive tried Basil, Woodford, Knob Creek...... I always go back to Makers

Knob Creek is excellent, but I tend to lean toward Basil or Woodford. Maker's is a great fall back.

We agree on something?

I need a drink

Mike...Send me some of your homebrew and ill send ya some small batch lol...I live here about 5min from Kentucky line and have access to the Bourbon...Makers, Four Roses, Beam/Bakers, Turkey, etc...Ya may not be interested as my wife Alma Mater is UAF (Fairbanks)...lol...Drop me a line

mmm, a nice Makers Mark manhattan.........best cocktail ever IMHO

God I love me some Woodford Reserve. On the rocks with a nice cigar, nothing better..... except a homebrew of course

I rarely touch it anymore, but I love some bourbon & a bit o Tennessee Whiskey. I've had Knob Creek, Woodford Reserve, and some other rather expensive selections, but don't find them to be worth the money. Love the Makers Mark, started drinking it a long time ago. Also it's now tradition at my house to have a Whiskey, brown sugar, mustard, & ginger sauce with our Christmas Ham.

Schlante,
Phillip

MMMMMMMMMMMM BOOOOOUUUUUURRRRBAAAAAANNN!!!!

It sfuynny cuz so many people say tehy get mean on whicsky, but is makes me mellowwwww! tequiles on the other hand??? no so good

seriously.. look for Super Nikka. Try it and tell me you still like Knob Creek.

If I can't have a great homebrew, I usually go for scotch, then burbon, then whiskey. The best scotch I've ever had is hands down Lagavulin 16 year.

What, no loooooooooooveee for Blanton's??!

Some fine bourbons have been mentioned, but not a one that holds a candle to Blanton's.

Bourbon is great - I'm a big fan of Knob Creek and a good friend just introduced me to Bookers. Small Batch FTW! :rockin:

...I like scotch better though, especially the Islay stuff - Lagavulin 16 is dreamy and I do have an inch or so left but my budget steers me more often towards Laphroaig 10 or Bowmore 12.

Cheers!

I love me some bourbon too when I cant spend the scracth on scotch!

I have a fifth of Four Roses (the former seagrams brand of blended whiskey that now produces kentucky straight bourbons) and a fifth of Bulleit. Usually have some Buffalo Trace hanging around too but that tends to go fast as it's cheap and good around these parts

And what's this? I'm out of sweet vermouth. Better go pick some up... might be a Manhattan night

I opened the woodford last night with my dad. That stuff is the SH%T. Best bourbon I've ever had. Truly unique.

I love Bourbon too... but I love the first post in this thread even more. Drunken Rambling at its finest.



:rockin:

May I suggest trying Elijah Craig 12 and 18. Both are nice and complex. Both are excellent neat as well as in Manhattans. The price is also nice compared to some of the more highly advertised brands.

Scotch is my other favorite with Speyside and Islay brands being my favorites.

Elijah Craig is great in mixed drinks but it lacks complexity as a "sipper" - at least in my experience (but I tend to gravitate toward the "smokier" bourbons ). Still, it's a very good bourbon - I use it as my "well bourbon". :rockin:

Huge bourbon and scotch fan here too, but my tastes are pretty rich (Glenlivet Nadura 16, Glenlivet 18, Talisker, Glenmorangie 18, etc).
I despise JD after trying much better bourbons like Makers, Woodford, Eagle Rare,etc. I just tried some Elijah Craig 18 year old single barrel.... OMFG that is like liquid heaven! Best I've ever had, hands down.

Eagle rare is another that they have and I'm interested in trying. It's so great that, like beer, the best bourbon in the world is affordable to the average person.

Got me some JB black! Headed to first post territory

Bourbon is good but scotch is the best. The Glenlivit Nadurra 16 year is the scotch of the week around here

scotch is one of my favorite things.

best I ever had was Glenfiddich with a meal of Roasted Quail at The Whaling station in Monterey California.

I love scotch. Scotchie Scotch Scoth, Here it goes down. Down into my belly

Sipping on some Van Winkle 10 year right now... I have a bottle of their 12 year and 20 year, but those are for special occasions.

Can't beat 107 proof Van Winkle for 28 bucks at Binny's.

I'm also getting close to the bottom of some Laphroaig 10 year cask strength, definitely some good stuff.

Damn you Mike, I ended up at the liquor store yesterday and it's YOUR FAULT... your &@#% *&@#%^ &@#% drunken posting made me THIRSTY.

So I'm gonna have to prost your thread.

Ha! if I didnt have spin class tomorrow at 6am. Youd bet your ass id be knee deep in some right now

Ahhh yes my love come to me! Dance with the coca cola and make sweet sweet love to my liver!

I <3 you burbon! You make a long week slip slide away.......

Wait Paul Simon and Burbon?!?!?

Coca-cola's a whore. Caught her foolin' around with Bacardi and Crown Royal. Not to mention that Jack Daniels who thinks he's bourbon but he's really only Tennessee Whiskey.

Ain't no way I'm sharing my bourbon with that tramp.
