I was able to control my gag reflex while sipping Evan Williams, but my wife however nearly stained my couch. If you are bored and have nothing better to do than watch your spouse dry heave, then by all means purchase a 5th of Evan Today! Needless to say, she wasn't a fan.

From what I understand Old Rip Van Winkle 15 Year Old is no longer made?

Pappy Van Winkle 15 and 20 Years are pricey but outstanding.

One of the best deals I have found is Old Weller 7 Year. I think it was $17 or so. Very beautiful bottle and the bourbon didn't taste bad at all. Of course, this was a few years ago so I don't know whether it is still available.

Old Forrester 100 Proof is also a good bargain.

Rittenhouse Rye Bottled-In-Bond is one of the best bargains out there at an average of $13 a bottle.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Elijah Craig. At 20.00 per bottle it's hard to beat.

If I'm taking shots, Jack Daniels No. 7 or Seagrams Crown Royal. The two mix delicioulsy with Coke as well. On the Rocks, Jack Daniels Silver Label Select is absolutley delicious, hard to find though

Googble Gooble you gotta go with the turkey 101 with a little dr.pepper

Since I am a Maker's Mark Ambassador, I am going to suggest Maker's Mark.

A long time Knob Creek and Woodford Reserve fan, I just recently got a bottle of Russell's Reserve Small Batch 6 year old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey.
I love it!
In a snifter with an ice cube - yowza! Like sippin' honeydew vine water.

Awesome thread

I was wondering if I could get a little input from some of the bourbons that were mentioned in this thread. I like to sip on bourbon, either on the rocks or neat. I have only had a handful of bourbons, so my experience is limited. My current fav's are Maker's and Knob Creek. Of the ones listed below, what would be your ranking for a sipping bourbon:


Buffalo Trace
Gentleman's Jack
Bookers
Elijah Craig


Any others you want to throw in as well would be appreciated. I am on a budget though, so the highest price would be around what a Knob Creek would cost. Always on the lookout for the best bang for the buck as well

I love me some Eagle Rare 10 Yr Single Barrel. Some good stuff!
