Bourbon

[Drenalin]

Not fit for human consumption, IMO. Anyone want to do a bottle swap?

Just received a bottle of Eagle Rare as an anniversary gift and it's not bad. I've had smoother but really nice flavor. My wife used it for a little cooking action recently and it made her tomato soup even more amazing!

I just tried Eagle Rare for the first time last night. It’s good for $45-60 per bottle, but any more than that and I’d be out. Hope that doesn’t sound like I’m crapping on it; in that price range there only a few others I prefer.

Weird finish on this one, undecided on what I think about it. It’s interesting at least. Everything up to that is pretty standard.

Well? We’re waiting!!!!

The top of the list is Redwood Empire Pipe Dream cask strength. Then in any order, Wild Turkey Rare Breed (bourbon or rye), Russell’s Single Barrel, Wild Turkey 101 8 year. I like Bulleit just a little better in that price range, but it’s really a different drink entirely than Eagle Rare.

I personally think 4 roses small batch select > eagle rare 10
They are both similar $ usually

I haven’t had the 4 roses small batch, but it’s on the list.

I made an old fashioned with the Barrell Seagrass tonight and it was out of this world.

I’m working on a maple pecan old fashioned with buffalo trace. I’ll check out the Seagrass.

Love me some Russell’s. Their single barrel always rocks. I just completed my Camp Nelson collection, it took me a while:

The Seagrass will overpower the other flavors, I suspect. Knob Creek has a smoked maple bourbon that might be appropriate for your application.

I drank 2 out of 3 of those. I found them to be good but overpriced at $300. Single barrels out of camp nelson at $90 is my jam. I have a barrel pick out of CN-E 4th floor right now.

I'm a big Penelope fan....except for their barrel strength.

Gold is so much better; what a treat it would be to pick your own!

Gold is real step above the regular Blantons imo

 

[Drenalin]

I’m on Pipe Dream and Seagrass tonight, both barrel strength. I think I have covid, this seems like the best remedy.

Edit to add: I’m still going to drag my butt out of bed to go hunting in the morning.

Joining the party late. Not necessarily bourbon, but in that vein….
For regular use I like Angel’s Envy and Old Forester.
For special occasions, a sip of Leupold Brothers 3 Chamber. It has a unique flavor that I can only describe as damp cardboard. But in a good way which I can’t convey.
For super special once ever year or two, I’ll pour a finger of my Redwing 27.

Does anyone go to the annual Whiskey X expo? It’s well worth the trip.

Favorite mixer is Evan Williams Bottled in Bond.

My favorite to drink is Eagle Rare neat.

I’m a fan of wheated bourbons. Weller Special Reserve or Bernheim if shopping on a budget.

The van payne is pretty good
