Bourbon Reviews

I am kinda excited. Angel's Envy (not a usual choice for me) is a "Private Selection" finished in Port Barrels. What to say about Blanton's? I love the stuff. The Nashville Barrel Co is another "Special" and supposed to be top-shelf. I am going to taste these, as yet unopened, this evening.

 

[VDL_Piper]

lovely stuff there, will warm you up for many a chilly night. Blanton's is delicious but I reckon that Angels Envy might trump it for taste.

I am looking forward to a taste test tonight!

I had Blantons for the first time this past Tuesday. That stuff is amazing!

 

[Gandalf The Grey]

I prefer a good nip of scotch.

I used to drink Blanton's Gold Label before it got too expensive. That was perfection. This Single Barrel will do just fine though!

I like Scotch too!

You might try a local Utah distillation that Forbes Magazine called the best:
Bonneville Bourbon — Salt Flats Spirits - https://www.saltflatsspirits.com/bonneville-bourbon

This month the state raised a fifth's price by $5 to $34.95, here, in Utah.

I'm not a connesurier; but, you won't find it a waste of money (that is,
in my feeble humble opinion).

Here's to good health and drink.

And to you! You might consider introducing yourself in the thread for newcomers. Welcome!

I guess that I'm not that discerning. I can barely tell the difference between Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare or Blantons. BT is more economical and a lot easier to find.

I enjoy Maker's Mark and buy it from Costco. I say it's all good. I suppose I'd prefer to drink the higher end ones neat. However, It's more the norm for me to make a 'Rusty Nail' or an 'Old Fashion' then to have my Bourbon neat...

I was introduced to Russell's 10 year Reserve at a friend's xmas party and it performs delightfully above it's rate.

I'm an Old Fashioned guy, diet simple sugar and spicy, with a lot of bitters. My current preference is a bottle of Black Walnut bitters.(Fee Brothers)

Back in my Bourbon days it was WhistlePig, Four Roses Single Barrel and Buffalo Trace - Drinking more BT than others

I like wild turkey 101 I got a bottle of bullit I plan to try eventually. My dad likes Buffalo trace and I thought that was good to.

I only drink bourbon a time or two a year, when I entertain invited guests at my farm.

Jim Beam Black is good bourbon.

So is any and all the rest that cost over $20 a fifth.

I think you are holding out on all of us -

 

[Sidehatch]

For the old fashioned drinkers out there, try it with Basil Hayden Toast. You may not have one without it again. For bourbon on the rocks Penelope and Eagle Rare are tough to beat.

I love Beam Black. I've heard they're bringing back an age statement (7 years, instead of 8), which is bad news for the other brands I drink

 

[Ahi Ka]

I think the only one I have which I would drink neat is Jim bean single origin rye, and that was normally just for something different in a whisky tasting. It was either makers mark in old fashioneds or sazeracs for me
