What is your favorite kind of bourbon?

[Run To State]

I think he just called you a lush, RTS! :banana:

I know he just did. :lol2:

For those of you who want to save some money with Christmas coming up but don't want to sacrifice too much on quality, the bourbon Guru mentioned a year or so ago called Benchmark is not bad at all for such a low price. With the gift buying season coming up, I may have to grab bottle of that since I only have a shot or two of my Knob Creek I bought last spring.

You have bourbon left from spring? :no:

 

Oh crap, wait...I do sound like a lush! :woot:

Evan Williams Single Barrel is delicious.

 

I'm a REALLY big fan of that one. Jim Schue introduced me to it a little over a year ago, and I've had a bottle of it in my liquor cabinet at all times since then.

I've tried it a couple of times, and I just don't much care for it. I can't really put my finger on what I don't like about it, but I'm just not a fan. About the cheapest I go, these days, is Old Forester Signature (the 100 proof, not the 86 proof). Goes for about $22 for a 750ml. Benchmark is usually $13 or $14...but I'm willing to toss up the extra cabbage for the Old Fo.

Do you like Wild Turkey 101?

[SportsGuy41017]

I know he just did. :lol2:

Wildcat is the one who hasn't been seen in over 2 hours. Just saying lol

Honestly, it's been so long since I've had it that I couldn't tell you for sure. The last time I had it, I think my overall...let's say..."purpose" of drinking bourbon was a little different than it is now.

Give it a go again, see what you think. Often you can find it on sale.

Blasphemy!

[Jim Schue]

I don't much care for it either. At best, it's OK.

Old Fo is certainly another great bourbon for somewhat cheap drinking.

Blasphemy!

 

LOL. I have always like Knob. Probably like 1792 better though.

[SEMPERFIFALCON]

Question for the bourbon experts, where can I find and purchase pappy? I've never had any and would love to have a bottle or two. Also where's the best place to buy the limited release stuff like Woodford's masters collection, Old Forester birthday, buffalo trace antique etc?

Also has anyone tried the Willett cask strength?
