What's your favorite Bourbon?
« on: May 04, 2022, 08:10:27 AM »
Traditionally, I've been a wine guy, but I recently started to really enjoy Bourbon.

I've taken to making a Manhattan during the evening while enjoying some Fox news.

What's your preference in Bourbon?

Been hearing that it's the best Bourbon Canada offers. Do you agree?

Man, Jack takes me back to the mid-90's. Every club/lounge would have tons of Jack and a shot or double shot was the poison of choice.

It's my favorite by a wide margin although I don't know much about Canadian offerings specifically.

Anything filtered through a spray-tan stained posing thong is good in my book.

Eagle Rare 17 was my favorite, but the hipsters and the market make it impossible to get.  And it was $36, now it's over $800.

All of the Pappy Van Winkle's are amazing, but now over $2000 a bottle, so one shot is over $50 bucks. Coach is a lucky fuck for getting his bottle lol.

So for the stuff that's left:

Buffalo Trace was favorite sub $30 bottle, but now that's getting rare.

Four Roses Single Barrel is great - about 40-45 bucks.

George Dickel bottle in Bond is $40, and was 2019 bourbon of the year.

Blantons / Michters / Willet / Eagle Rare 10 all good choices too.

I like trying new stuff, so I rotate.

I would say the staples are the ER10, BT.

That's what I started  on.   I wanted to have "a drink", so I ordered Jack on the rocks. Got the shivers when I took first drink, then got used to it.

Once I found better bourbons, that shit went by the wayside.

But as far as shitty gimmick bourbons go, I will admit the Screwball Peanut Butter whiskey is super tasty.

Solid choice that’s widely available.

The good stuff is hard to get these days.  Around here you have to win a lottery to have the opportunity to buy stuff like Pappy.

Yeah, it sucks from that perspective.  Pappy is really really good.

I don't drink adult beverages but I do like this quote from Goldfinger!

Colonel Smithers : Have a little more of this rather disappointing brandy.

M : What's the matter with it?

James Bond : I'd say it was a 30-year-old fine, indifferently blended, sir... with an overdose of bon-bois.

Gross enough, not close enough.
