November 12, 201411 yr 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:
November 12, 201411 yr 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.

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. 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.

November 12, 201411 yr I know he just did. :lol2: Wildcat is the one who hasn't been seen in over 2 hours. Just saying lol
November 12, 201411 yr Do you like Wild Turkey 101? 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. Edited November 12, 201411 yr by Colonels_Wear_Blue

November 12, 201411 yr In no particular order: Makers Basil Hayden Woodford Turkey 101 Bourbons I do not care for: Knob Creek Blanton's Jim Beam Pappy 15 Bourbons I'm indifferent to: Four Roses Old Forrester

November 13, 201411 yr You have bourbon left from spring? :no: Oh crap, wait...I do sound like a lush! :woot: OK, late last spring, LOL.

November 13, 201411 yr 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?
