What celebratory bourbon does everyone bring to camp to sip on after you've harvested your trophy.

I typically bring Makers mark to make whiskey butter for the heart. (camp tradition)
One guy in our group typically brings a bottle of Blanton's.
 
On our hunting trips usually 2 or 3 guys buy a bottle once we get off the plane. At some point during the trip we usualy do a blind taste test. For several years Buffalo Trace has won the taste tests.
 
Nothing but the best to celebrate with for us whether it’s elk or caribou camp! Why have classy when you have trashy!

If you like Buffalo Trace then you'll really enjoy Weller (green label) and Eagle Rare.
 
I'm a big fan Rebel 100 it's super cheap but the standards required for something to be called Kentucky straight bourbon are so high that it's hard to go wrong.
 
Changes depending on what people bring, but for several trips it was Bulleit 10 year as the standard.
 
Ive brought a bottle of whiskey (whatever i have nice in my cabinet at the time, not picky) and my favorite smoking pipe to every hunt ive had in the last 10 years.... ive never cracked open any of them, usually too exhausted after a successful hunt to do anything other than crawl into my sleeping bag and sleep like the dead, or if im done early enough i start the drive to the processor. Same goes after the day of hunting, usually get back to camp, eat some kinda freeze dried or pre frozen meal, crawl into bed for 6 hours of sleep and do it again.

I suck at celebrating i guess. Even with friends and family there. I'll try again this year, looks like i have some scotch in the cabinet that will taste nice after adrenaline (if im lucky) followed by tiredness and pain. Cant drink it if i dont bring it
 
Tequila for us. That being said, Old Forester 1920 would be my pick. Also cold Coors banquet for when get back to the truck
 
My buddy from Cheyenne seems to only drink Pendleton so that is usually what is in camp. I bring the Yuengling beer,
Dannnggggg…..I moved from the east coast to the left coast for work. Every time I go home, I drive back out with as many 24 packs of Yuenling as I can fit.

Seems like a remember a movie about smuggling beer across state lines…..

But thanks for making me miss that beer.
