Lots of high class drinkers here on Getbig. Anybody drink Steel Reserve or Old Dan Tucker?

Sometimes I’ll chug two four locos from the local gas station after taking a piss in the urinals

Yes, this is why the Y needs to be so exclusive, and Subforum YY-2.3 even moreso.

I was at a fundraiser event Saturday night in Tierre Verdie at the tampa Bay Watch annual ball. Met one of the family from the Woodford Reserve Distillery. Now I like Woodford Reserve and it is definitely respectable.,  I had to be honest with her and say I have it at my bar but I am more inclined with the Buffalo Trace offerings and Old Forester Statesman/ 1915. She told me as we were standing in line at the open bar that while she is 3 generations Woodford Reserve, she will drink Old Forester Statesman over Woodford any day. I think the bottom line is Bourban tastes are no different than Burger or Soda tastes. It's really about personal preference. If you like it, enjoy it.

Sounds like you’re about a bottle in now

You can't help it.. You are a Trump fan.. turn a Bourbon discussion into politics. If you can't handle my posts about your derangement that's cool.. but keep it on the political page.

You can't help it.. You are a Trump America, Freedom, USA fan.. turn a Bourbon discussion into politics. If you can't handle my posts about your derangement that's cool.. but keep it on the political page.

Fixed for reality, which libs tend to put a negative spin on hating America... Like its a bad thing...

Looked it up OF Statesmen is a nice looking bottle.  Might have to give it try.

I've said it before, never cared for Woodford that much.  Drinkable for sure, but no "wow" factor for me.

Got some Wild Turkey "Rare Breed" I will try a little later, any reviews from getbiggers?

It's an ok pour but to me a little weak in the taste.
What I mean is the flavor or taste of it doesn't last long.

I have to laugh every time liquor or watches come up on a getbig thread everyone here is a millionaire. I looked up one bottle of whiskey and it's over $100 bucks. Really, that's your choice of booze and you can afford it week after week ?  I bet half of you snobs pour the expensive stuff in with some pop drink while sitting in your mom's house typing how you like only premium booze.

Feel free to ask Grape or chaos. I have over 70 bottles of bourbon and rye including a Pappy 12 and 15


....Only one watch though.

It's one of my favorites but at 116 proof I use an ice cube.

$100 for a bottle is not really very much for this kind of thing, and I think most people who are "into" bourbon aren't drinking a whole bottle of it each week (unless they're a borderline alcoholic). 

For me a nice bottle lasts me months.

[IroNat]

Bought a 750ml bottle of Tennesee bourbon at Trader Joe's for $15.

Aged 6 months.  Seriously.

I've read some reviews of this that say it's complete shite but really, I thought it wasn't bad. 

Not bad at all.

People post reviews and they say they can detect all these subtle flavors (notes?) in a whiskey.

Like this for example:

a nose full of stale popcorn next to pecan Sandies with a dose of cinnamon, a little bit of sweet grass, and a touch of leather. There’s a vanilla cream pie note on the palate that leads toward more leather, fresh floral notes, and choco-cherry tobacco. The mid-palate peaks with that tobacco spice and sweetness

or this one...

Sweet spice, stewed pears with saffron, and a chocolate cream pie nose greet you. The taste leans into vanilla hard candies with almond-encrusted toffees, soft cedar, and a hint of potting soil. Pears and soft apricot-laced tobacco leaves drive the mid-palate towards more pear and hint of that soil, tobacco, and nutty toffee.


All bullshite.

A true tasting of whiskey is this:

Gasoline flavor with a touch of lighter fluid and a finish of kerosene

Like this for example:

a nose full of stale popcorn soiled thong next to pecan Sandies with a dose of cinnamon manfat, a little bit of sweet grass sweat wrung from Bhank's curling onesie, and a touch of leather ass. There’s a  cream pie note on Matt Canning's palate that leads toward more leather, fresh floral notes, and choco-cherry tobacco ass juice contaminated astroglide.
