Lawdwaz Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 What's your favorite bourbon? Sipping on the rocks, straight up or mixed as a Manhattan? (or other ways if you're crazy enough to do THAT) Just curious................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodchuck Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Jim beam black or Devils cut. On the rocks some times. As crazy as it sounds I will add a little 7up sometimes. Boy is it good stuff Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveboone Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I have gotten quite fond of bourbon in recent years. The Clayton Distillery makes a fine smooth bourbon that I love, Adirondack Distillers 601 Bourbon is also fine. Small batch productions with great prices....a bit steep if you guzzle it though.

Zem18 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm more of a whiskey guy and can't remember if I've ever even had bourbon before. What would you suggest for me to try? The Crown Manhattan is a nice sipper, on the rocks of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pygmy Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I am very fond of JD but it is not technically a Bourbon because it is not made in Kentucky. Of the true bourbons I have tried, some are ok, some I was not crazy about. I really do enjoy some of the blends...Crown Royal comes to mind immediately but Black Velvet also ain't bad and it's cheaper. I am sipping at about half a finger of it in a dried beef glass as I type this. I prefer to sip straight up and chase with beer or water... Rocks would be a distant second, since I prefer not to dilute the spirit. I am not a mixed drink person, but I do enjoy an occasional Manhootie...

nyantler Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) I'm more of a Crown Royal guy... but if I'm drinking bourbon it's usually Woodford Reserve. Use to be that I liked my whiskey in a Manhatten, but now it's straight on the rocks. Most likely it will be accompanied by a good cigar. I am pouring a glass of Crown on the rocks as we speak! It will be a double... and I'm sure there will be a couple more to follow before the night is out.

Otto Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 That Woodford Reserve is quite good! Love that stuff! Shots are Jim Beam, Manhattan's are Makers Mark, straight up after dinner is Woodford Reserve. 54 yo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philoshop Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I spent 6 weeks building a barn for a friend just north of Lexington, KY a few years ago. We toured several distilleries on the weekends but kept going back to Buffalo Trace. Their Blanton's Reserve is one of my favorites and it's easy enough to find in many NY stores. Some of their high-end stuff like Pappy Van Winkle is unbelievably tasty, if you have the wallet for it. Basil Hayden's is another good one. Not sure who makes it, but it's a scotch-like flavor that I enjoy. Three fingers in a rocks glass with one small ice cube, and some pieces of quality dark chocolate to nibble on between sips. I have approximately 491k hours on me (56 yo). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtTime Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Mid 40's here. I used to love JD, Old Grand-Dad, and Jim Beam when I was younger. Then I got more into Wild Turkey and in my 30's. Then I switched to J&B brandy. Usually shots or over ice. But, the one drink I love over all is a good spicy Bloody Mary! I love tomato juice and V8 original. I haven't touched a drop of any liquor in over two years. I still like a beer, but the hard stuff isn't good for my pancreas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnhu Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Glenfiddich 18 for me. If possible, I'd serve below 0 Celsius, or straight. Rocks would dilute.
