Author Topic: What's your favorite Bourbon? (Read 9188 times)

Couple different levels.

What I like, at least in Florida is hard to find. The Buffalo Trace line of Bourbon is almost never on the shelves. I did find a Walgreens of all places down the street that occasionally gets in a case of Buffalo Trace priced at $24 a bottle. On rare occasions someone I know will score a Blantons for me but it is a once a year type thing. Blantons retails for under $70 but the flippers have made it all but impossible to find in the wild like that. Eagle Rare is nice as well but never see it around here.

I found my taste for bourbon changes and what I used to like, like Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve, have lost their appeal.

Some of my favorites that I can find on most shelves are;
New Riff Single Barrell
Rare Breed
Russell Reserve 10 yr
Old Forester Statesman
4 Roses Small Batch
Horse Soldiers Small Batch (Some Special Forces guys opened up a restuaran/Distillery in St. Petersburg

What I have on hand on any given day

1.175 liter of Wild Turkey 101 for gatherings. Makes a good Old Fashioned, Cheap and has character
Buffalo Trace
Russells Reserve

Everybody name their favorite bourbon that comes in a plastic bottle.

How are you supposed to get them into bed if they’re not drunk?

Prosecco sparkling wine (think champagne, but cheaper) Bitches love that here. Don't think it's very well known in the US.

They gulp that down and soon after they'll be gulping your load. No homo

One alcoholic drink a day linked with reduced brain size
The research, using a dataset of more than 36,000 adults, revealed that going from one to two drinks a day was associated with changes in the brain equivalent to aging two years. Heavier drinking was linked with an even greater toll.

But according to a new study, alcohol consumption even at levels most would consider modest—a few beers or glasses of wine a week—may also carry risks to the brain. An analysis of data from more than 36,000 adults, led by a team from the University of Pennsylvania, found that light-to-moderate alcohol consumption was associated with reductions in overall brain volume.

The link grew stronger the greater the level of alcohol consumption, the researchers showed. As an example, in 50-year-olds, as average drinking among individuals increases from one alcohol unit (about half a beer) a day to two units (a pint of beer or a glass of wine) there are associated changes in the brain equivalent to aging two years. Going from two to three alcohol units at the same age was like aging three and a half years.

Going from zero to one alcohol units didn’t make much of a difference in brain volume, but going from one to two or two to three units a day was associated with reductions in both gray and white matter.

I doubt this. BS.

How would you even do a study like this? Do brain scans on 36,000 people? Not likely.

And while the researchers underscore that their study looked only at correlations

Study says they looked at MRI scans and the alcohol intake was self reported.

If it's self reporting then you can be sure it's inaccurate as fuck.

I’m not a big fan of hard liquor, but recently my started to use it in some recipes and I was surprised how well they work for both savory and dessert dishes.

Im sure there are some great ones for Bourbon.
