semery74 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm a bigger fan of the Carmel and Chocolate nuances than the Anise and Spices. Plus it has to be greater than 90 Proof to cut well with water. The closer to barrel proof the better. In order of most utilized: Wild Turkey 101 Elmer T Lee Noah's Mill George T Stagg Blanton's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Bourbon man's 2nd best friend. 1-George T Stagg 2-Woodford Reserve 3-Makers Mark (46 edges out the regular but I drink more original Makers) 4-Wild Turkey (either) 5-Bookers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 don't drink much bourbon but enjoy blanton's makers mark (although was better years ago) gentle jack (not a fan of the single barrel over priced i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopperb Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 1 - Bookers 2 - Pappy 3 - Shine 4 - Wathens 5 - Buffalo Trace Originally being from Kentucky, Bourbon runs in the blood from birth and we just keep adding to it. I had to put the Moonshine in the list as when it's good it is great and better than most processed liquor. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsolomon Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I drink a bourbon frequently and there are some new ones posted I need to try. 1. Woodford Reserve - my go to bourbon 2. George T. Stagg - too hard to find, but 3. Evan William Single Barrel 4. Bookers 5. Eagle Rare 10 year Buffalo Trace, Maker's Mark and Knob Hill all deserve honorable mentions.

riazp Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 cool thread, i'm looking to try some new bourbons myself, whats a good place to start for a total noob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negncic Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 cool thread, i'm looking to try some new bourbons myself, whats a good place to start for a total noob? If you can find Buffalo Trace that is a great place to start. Should be under $25 a bottle and is one of the best dollar for dollar Bourbons going.
