BIG BLACK JACK Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 What is your favorite KY bourbon? And how do you prefer to drink your bourbon? For me, Maker's. However, if I were hosting a social gathering I would serve Woodford. Usually drink it on the rocks, sometimes with diet coke. Input of others? :dancingpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Basil Hayden for my day-to-day. Pappy Van Winkle if I'm feeling generous. Either on the rocks or with whiskey stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahearme Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Where to start.... Got to go with Maker's Mark first. I like it on the rocks or with ginger ale, which by the way, it how Bill Samuels likes his Maker's. If somewhere was to not have MM (heaven forbid) I would ask for one of the following: Basil Hayden Knob Creek Jim Beam Black Buffalo Trace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports fan Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Four Roses Small Batch (I like it better than the single barrel) and Eagle Rare Single Barrel On the rocks with a few drops of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qryche11 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Woodford - On the Rocks with splash of water Great time of the year for Bourbon and a Cigar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG BLACK JACK Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Four Roses Small Batch (I like it better than the single barrel) and Eagle Rare Single Barrel On the rocks with a few drops of water.

MJAlltheWay24 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I really enjoy Maker's Mark but don't buy it to often. Usually my go to is Ancient Age. I like the taste and you can't beat the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Schue Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Evan Williams Single Barrel is a high-quality bourbon at an extremely reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports fan Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Haven't tried either, which of the two do you suggest? Go Four Roses Small Batch first, if only because it is just a bit less expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getslow Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Always have the following on my shelf: Old Grand-Dad Evan Williams Old Fitzgerald Old Forester I don't tend to keep the following around, but I really like them when I can get them: Buffalo Trace Blanton's Woodford Reserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leatherneck Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Evan Williams Single Barrel is a high-quality bourbon at an extremely reasonable price. Agree. A few years back I lined up some shots of various high end bourbons for some bourbon drinking buddies to taste and evaluate. A majority like the EW single barrel the best. We have the cheap stuff in the house to mix with diet coke; and Woodford to sip neat or over ice. The Woodford is more habit than anything though. Makers, Basil Hayden, Bookers, etc. would be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexitucky Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I bought Four Roses single barrel and REALLY liked it. I have Woodford Reserve Double Barrel and liked it a lot. If it's just me at home watching a movie w/ the family, I'll have a glass of Buffalo Trace, ice cube, and a splash of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoopsr1 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Angels Envy is the best I've ever had. Woodford reserve is 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnboy13 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 All of the above , I don't discriminate. :lol: But seriously, I'm not picky, whatever my budget dictates at the time is fine with me. But tend to stay away from the cheap, cheap stuff. Only seldom drink it straight, usually add Coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
