Recomendations
Just looking for some insight on some drinks to try. I would like to expand my knowledge on non-mixed drinks, for instance I have been on a bourbon kick lately, so if anyone has any suggestions on a good bourbon please chime in. I would also like to try other things, so feel free to throw your two cents in.

Thanks guys.

LT

Re: Recomendations
Give Ron Zacapa Rum (23 yr) a try, it's delicious and hard to beat with cigars.

Ditto. I'm enjoying it right now with an Ashton VSG.

I'd have to recommend Zacapa as well. I had it for the first time at a cigar tasting last week. It was the only rum that I could stomach straight.

Re: Recomendations
Washington State Kirsch (cherry brandy) is incredible. If you can't find any from Wash, go for Swiss and then French.

What about the Congac??? Must also be under "other".

Re: Recomendations
Or tequila. Tequila has a bad rap as a "getting trashed taking shots" drink, but the finer tequilas taste fantastic straight. Herradura Anejo goes down smooth, but tastes spicy. Even a fairly cheap Anejo such as Sauza Anejo can be interesting. The Sauza Anejo is ~$20 a bottle, and has hints of brown sugar on the aroma. Just make sure you get Anejo ("aged"), otherwise you probably won't want to be sipping it.

They are all good. But some's gooder than others.

Yeah, cognac is fine stuff. I've only had a couple, but they were XOs and good quality. Make sure you get something smooth.

I've also heard that Black Maple Hill bourbon is good. They have a 21 yr old that is highly rated.
