I've recently started buying Angel's Envy Bourbon. It is finished in port wine barrels. Very smooth. I drink it on the rocks. I also like Bookers on the rocks and when I buy a cheaper bourbon I usually get Bulleit which I prefer over Maker's and other mid-priced bourbons.

I heard good things about that from several bourbon "connoisseurs" I'm friends with. I bought a bottle and was kind of underwhelmed, to be perfectly honest.

Bourbon is indeed a great liquid

Woops, I meant liquor, I guess my phone changed it. But yes, you're correct.

If you want a bourbon with a unique finish try Parker's Heritage Collection. Finished in cognac barrels and an overall excellent drinking experience.

Good beer - prefer dark beers

Good red wine - mostly Cabs & Merlots

Good bourbon - neat - Basil Hayden is my favorite

Sub the Cranberry juice for Red Bull, make it a Royal Bomb. Thank me later.

 

I got really sick once from Red Bull and Jag. Just the smell of an energy drink makes my throat dry and gives me that dry heave feeling. LOL

One would think you typically stuck to beer/keg stands.

I had an interesting drink/shot last night at a retirement party for a longtime liquor store owner in Lexington, Sal Merino of Thoroughbred Shop on Versailles Rd. It was called grappa. It reminded me a lot of moonshine. I'm not sure if it was good or bad, but man did it ever burn!

I had to google what exactly it was when I got to work this morning. It pretty interesting. Check out grappa

OK, so who else in for the the Rio or BCs?

Okay, it's been two years. Are we past the initial planning phase yet?

If you like Angel's Envy you should try Devil's Cut by Jim Beam. Very good stuff.

Seems like the appropriate place to post this:

 

Cincinnati Beer Week: February 2-9

I think grappa is distilled from fermented fruit juice and moonshine from fermented grain.

I've never been a bourbon drinker but started digging the KY Bourbon Barrel Ale and then sampled some bourbons at a church festival. I picked up a bottle of Basil Hayden tonight. Must say it was tasty. I drink it straight. No ice. No water. No Coke.
