Let's talk uppity liquor

[limegrass69]

Personally, I like the Woodford Reserve

 

[Andrew8468]

So consensus seems to be Woodford Reserve, Maker's Mark or Knob Creek.

Well the person who wanted the bourbon never contacted me so I didn't buy anything.

Dang, you missed out on your 10% or one 1/5 buyers fee. At least that's what my buyers charged me when I was 16....

 

[Andrew8468]

I was thinking more along the lines of $500 since I had to carry it across an international border

In the past I have used couple of these websites to help me make certain drink recipes

thebar.com - Cocktail recipes, tools, tips and more.
DRINKSMIXER.COM: 22400+ mixed drink recipes, cocktails and drinks

But now I went to couple of bookstores and want to buy a good drink recipe book and found these so far, which I haven't bought yet.

But does anyone here recommend a good drink recipe book?

The Bartenders' Black Book and The Webtender - Cocktail & Mixed Drink Recipes and Bartending Guide are 2 of my resources.

I bought one of this small spirits and it tasted alright, I prefer the original stuff.

It had a taste of honey, but it a taste you had to get use to.

When I was a kid and had a sore throat my mom would give me Jack and honey.

ETA: And lemon juice. She put lemon juice in there, too. Mmmmm.

It's too sweet for me. I like Jack but I've been gravitating towards higher end bourbons lately. (I know Jack is Tennessee Whiskey)

I've really gotten turned on to Bourbon over the last year and a half- 2 years. I now consider Wild Turkey 101 to be one of the better mid-priced bourbons. I drink bourbon neat out of a wide rimmed short glass. Some of my favorites:
Wild Turkey 101
Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Woodford Reserve
Russels Reserve 10 year
Basil Haydens

Right now I have a bottle of Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit, it's pretty good but not worth the almost 50 bucks I paid for it.

I've really been into bourbon for the last year. Two weeks ago my wife and I took a vacation to the Kentucky bourbon trail, went to 9 distilleries and a cooperage. Great times, many samples and many bottles of Kentucky-only bottles brought home. I highly reccomend it!

My current collection is around 12 bottles. Evan Williams Single Barrel (2002 & 2003 editions) and Four Roses Single Barrel make up my "top shelf" right now. I plan on getting some Blanton's soon, and of course the elusive anything by Pappy Van Winkle. My more regular dram has become Very Old Barton 100 proof, love that stuff.

Or you can go to the liquor barn or liquor world when in Ky and get a good price and lots of sales.

I did just that too, I really only bought trinkets at the distilleries. The tours were for the experience.
