Bourbon

[Alpine4x4]

Mmm bourbon.

My go to's are Jeffersons and Bulleit Rye. For a spendy bottle the Angels Envy Rye is hard to beat, makes their regular bourbon taste like swill. Duke's is also a very good one for the price. Not a fan of Eagle Rare personally.

I was able to try some Old Foreseter King Ranch last week as my boss had some at his house. Its quite good as well.

Always keep stocked Old forester 1920 and Wild Turkey Rare Breed.

Angel's Envy is a great one, second to Eagle Rare. Spending more than that seems pointless.

Anyone have any experience with Redemption?

I really like their High Rye.

 

[SchwarzStock]

Woodford Reserve, Buffalo trace, 4 roses, bulliet

4 Roses? My Grandfather had throat cancer and that was his favorite gargle....

 

[brndog1]

Buffalo Trace and Basil Hayden are the go to's.

 

[Holski]

Yep, got lucky and my number was drawn in the barrel select drawing. Sitting at 0 points now though so it will likely be a long while before I get up there again...

how many points did you have when you drew?

Fiancé wants to get me a really nice bottle. Her words are "$100 minimum" and "something you'd never buy for yourself." Anyone have any suggestions? I know this is a vague question as palettes and preferences are huge but I'm not too picky.

 

[onceacamel]

Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Penelope

 

[Mosby]

Elijah Craig 12 year, Henry McKenna 10 or some Knob Creek.

For me, considering bottles that are not too hard to find, I would go with one of the following:

• Knob Creek 18
• Woodford Reserve Batch Proof
• Peerless Toasted

If you have a friend that is well connected on the secondary market, then tell her to ask him and get something you know that you enjoy. For me, that would be something like Weller Full Proof, Stagg, or Penelope Rio.

@wayoh22 There are a lot of great suggestions in this thread already. You are correct that it is hard to pick something for you without knowing what else you like. Maybe check out Seelbach's or WoodenCork if you haven't before.

I'll throw out these:

Leopold Bros Three Chamber Collectors Edition Rye Whiskey​

Old Carter, Stagg, Elijah Craig 18 sb

KC18 seems to be everywhere lately in my area, I think they had a lot of it this year.

Agreed. I think batch 3 is their best batch yet. I like to wait to see them pop up on secondary in the 150 range.

Jim Beam Black and Devils cut are my favorites.

 

[WMelbgator]

For both Deer and Turkey camp I like to be in charge of the bar. I've kind of moved away from bourbon, but still like the good stuff, so I treat my cousins and great uncle. More into wine these days. But that Russell's Reserve 13 was special.

 

[loganwayne]

Picked up some new riff to try out. Some good stuff.
