Mean Matt McCord, SASS #24683 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 For those of you who enjoy bourbon, what is your favorite brand and why? If you enjoy other types of liquors, what do you prefer and why? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G #1840 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Bulleit or Woodfords Reserve are my go-to bourbons. I would like to try Blantons, Elmer T Lee and Buffalo Trace but everytime I get the dough saved up for a new bourbon, some new single malt becons to me.

Guest Hoss Carpenter, SASS Life 7843 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Being from Tennessee, I really like George Dickel N0. 12; a very fine sipping Whisky. (yes, that is how they spell whisky) The Distillery is near Tullahoma and less that 100 miles form Jack Daniels Distillery. Both make good whisky and both have outstanding , free tours. Now if it is Kentucky Bourbon, I will have Knob Creek (1st) and Maker's Mark (2nd). But like G#1840 says, a good Single Malt is hard to pass up! Cheers, Hoss C.

Skid Roper Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Buffalo Trace is a great bourbon, especially for the cost. At $20 or so a bottle it "performs" just a well as those marked well above that price point. As for me, I tend to stick with Rye, usually Bulleit or Old Overholt, as they are equally good up, on the rocks or mixed into an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.

Henry T Harrison Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 For casual drinking I prefer either Rebel Yell or Bench Mark depending on which is on sale. For special occasions Angels Envy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I like Breckenridge and Stranahan's when I want to splurge. Otherwise Makers Mark or Bulleit suit me fine. I am also fond of the well made Agave products like Don Julio Reposado or Blanco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 UB, it has been far too long since I have been to Colorado Springs. My well of Stranahans has run dry. I really need to find some again. I just cannot justify going to CO to get it unless work is paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Bourbon: Knob Creek or Breckenridge; a toss-up. Irish: Powers Gold Label, if you can find it; Powers 12 - year old or Redbreast if you can afford it. Scotch: Glenmorangie Quanta Rubin. Life is short. Enjoy.

Calamity Kris Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 My drinking, or even sipping days for that matter, are long over. Back when I drink and could afford to splurge, I drank Gentleman Jack or Single Barrel. Really smoooooooooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Had a glass of single barrel on the rocks with a splash of branchwater with dinner. My son won it as a door prize at a shoot last year. I was told to keep the bottle 'til he was of age. They said nothing about the contents.

Harvey Mushman Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 My Bourbon taste is simple and infrequent. Makers Mark will do fine! SIngle Malt Scotch, on the other hand love them. Overall favorite: Talisker (only brewery on the Isle of Skye - unique flavor). Favorite Islay malt: Bowmore Reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Man Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Benchmark is the best cheap bourbon there is. But I like to try as many as I can. Last year, got A Stranahan and Breckenridge. I need to look for something else while I'm out there next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frio Kid, SASS #31915 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 They make some nice "bourbons" in TX now - Rebecca Creek is a real good one. Then there is the 1835 Come and Take It that runs about $20 and is very good. In my experience even the the cheapest bourbon tastes better to me than the expensive single malts. When it somes to bourbon it is kind of like beer and pizza - it is all good, some are just better than others. A good sugar cane rum is great for sippin as well - somethig from the carribean - not Barcadi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it somes to bourbon it is kind of like beer and pizza - it is all good, some are just better than others. I just got a replenishment of my supply of Rebecca Creek from a friend who went back there to shoot. Last year the cowboys at Trailhead were passing it around for evening sipping and I brought some of it,1835, and some Garrison Brothers home to pass around here. Good stuff! He also brought back some whiskey labled as a Colorado whiskey, Tincup, that I am trying right now. Also good stuff, but a bit different as it is a blend of "corn, rye, and malt barley" I also like the Costco "premium small batch" bourbon, Snakebite turned me on to it a few years ago.
