BOURBON questions & comments

[Cadillac]

Thanks, I'll have to back & pick it up. I usually mix drinks with Ginger Ale or Coke. Actually I looooove Crown Royal & Coke. What's better to drink Bourbon straight up with, couple of ice cubes? A little water? Or is it just a matter of taste.

I'm not feelin' too bad.

Matter of taste, and it may well vary from one bourbon to another.

I am a recent fan of the Bulliet. I find it lighter and sweeter than my usuall bourbons, which include but not limited to Eagle Rare 10, Makers Mark (if I'm out of everything else), George T Stagg and Sazarac rye. I drink all these, except for the Stagg, neat. Sometimes with a small splash of water to bring out some different flavors.

Can you really save much buying bourbon on line ? If so, where do you like ?

I just tried Bulliet this past Sat. I did not like the up front taste very much. Middle was sweet and finished smoth. Now the wierd part, after it chilled on the ice about 4 min, it was a different drink smooth, sweet and finished smooth. i usually drink mine over a few cubes and a twist of lime.

Eagle Rare - just too different for my palatte.

Even Williams 10 yr Single - my new go to bourbon. very complex, peppery, and not sweet at all.

Makers is my #2 go to, a bit of bite on the front.

I have finally dwindled my stock of booze down and needed to replenish my supply. I decided to give some highly rated cheapies a go. I got 4 bottles for less than a bottle of my favorite (Blanton's), hopefully I find a gem among them.. I will report if any of them are notable (good or bad) to me.

• Old Overholt Rye
• Rittenhouse Rye 100 proof
• David Nicholson 1843 Bonded
• Evan Williams 1783 10year

Coming from the horses mouth, this is precisely how Tom Bulleit felt it should be enjoyed (over ice).

Definately try it if you can find a decent price. I'm not sure what i paid, but it was expensive and not worth the $$ IMHO. Its decent, but tastes more like a rye to me.
