Some bougi’ness in his thread! I’m done paying too much for bourbon. My favorite has become Old Crow.

There is no correlation with the price of bourbon and its quality. Drink what you like.

Glad you are smarter then everyone else and found something you like. Since you only like that one thing there isnt much for you to talk about here. Thanks for popping in!!!

Such an odd take on my statement. I never said it was the only thing I like. How did you manage to come up with that?

If someone wants to spend booku dollars on a bottle of bourbon more power to them. It doesn’t mean it’s better bourbon though. There are so many great bourbons out there but I think people feel that if you aren’t drinking something from Buffalo trace or some other tater’ized bourbon it’s second class and that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Your statement was more expensive bourbon isnt better bourbon.

Which is a false statement.

There are points of diminishing returns. But like anything time costs money. You will not get a good 10 yr old bourbon for 4 year old prices. You wont get 15 year old for 7 year old prices. $10-$15 a year is a pretty normal price.

But saying evan williams black label is just as good as a 10 year old 4 roses single barrel is just false. Is evan williams a suitable drink? SURE. Is 4 roses better and more expensive. Certinately.

I dont remember anyone in the entire thread calling any bourbon second class based on lack of markting. In fact many of us have said chasing the buffalo will leave you wanting. In fact YOU are the one saying marketing makes bourbon second class.

I think old crow tastes horrible. Hell I would rather drink flavored jack daniels straight than drink that shit. Its ok for people to like different things.

Had you said, "dont believe the hype on bourbon. There are lots of good pours that are accessible. And there is no reason to pay secondary prices for any bottle of booze." Everyone would have agreed with you. Instead you come hot into the conversation and basically start insulting people that have said exactly that.

But what ever guy. Thanks for your input. Keep yelling at clouds.

A 10 year old bourbon doesnt make it automatically better. Taste is entirely subjective and to claim anything else just shows the tater in you. Time in a barrel does not equate to a better bourbon. It can, but more goes into it than simply that. I’ve had many much more expensive bottles than say old crow that I liked far less.

I think it’s kind of obvious that more money doesn’t necessarily equate to a better bourbon.

Taste is so subjective I’m surprised it is causing hurt feelings.

It’s a whisky/bourbon blend, but i absolutely love the Devil’s Bridge Whiskey from Willie’s Distillery in Ennis, MT. It’s fantastic to drink on the rocks.

Sure there are bad bourbons out there that are 10 years old. However usually distilleries are trying to make a good product at that age. They dump all the swill at 3-4 years old.

Calling me a tater isnt going to get me going IDGAF about some insult from some random guy on the internet. Just like my feelings arent hurt.

With bourbon money buys age and age normally yeilds a better product. This is fact. Drink whatever you like.
