Bourbon

[ScottP76]

Uhhmmm..... not to be a total jerk, but I don't understand.
What is the goal of drinking whiskey ?

Dude step down from the cross we need the wood!

I just picked up some Bulleit single barrel bourbon, really enjoying it!

Old Elk has always been one of my favorites. At one time had 12 different bottles that all had their own unique taste. Then they starting charging $120+ a bottle and I stopped buying them.

Buzz?
High?
Drunk?
Palette cleanse?

.....and I'm not picking on you in particular. This is for whoever.

Make no mistake, I did what I could to keep distilleries in business in my youth, but got tired of the headaches and hangovers!
Easier to just quit.

No, I'm not trying to be offensive. Just curious.

I just like having a drink at times with friends or after a long day of work. Especially after a long day of feeding cattle during a winter storm or calving in the spring. I don't really start out drinking with a goal, just make a drink when it sounds good. I mostly quit before I get to a stage I'll feel any effects from the next day, but occasionally I forget I'm older and wiser now.

Really enjoy their Cigar Cut and Double Wheat. 4 grain was skunky to me.

Dude, until alcohol starting making my gout kick in, I imbibed. Just not the hard stuff!
Broke my heart to have to give up my wine!

My go to lately has been the Yellowstone toasted but I’ve been in a bit of a “toasted” bourbon kick lately.

Relationships matter! I bought a Knob Creek store pick this morning at the recommendation of the manager. Talked to him for about 10 minutes, and he pulled this out of the back.

You know how there are wine fanatics, that enjoy analyzing everything about it, same goes for bourbon. Bourbon is a really complex spirit and there are so many varieties now with extremely different tasting profiles.

One doesn’t have to drink alcohol to get a buzz, drunk, etc, many of us just enjoy to pour a few oz’s and take an hour or two to explore the flavors that pop out.

Nice, the 10yr is good but the 12yr is on a different planet.

I want one of these, I want to see if it is that much better then the 13yr.

I agree on 12 year batch 1. Batch 2 is not nearly as good. I think the 10 year batch 3 kills the 12 year batch 2.

I have both batch 1 and 2 but haven’t cracked the batch 2 yet, I picked the batch 2 12yr over the batch 3 10yr when I was given the option of only selecting one. I have 2 of the batch 1 12yrs and a batch 2 10yr, lol. Never tried the batch 1 10yr but heard it was pretty good.
