I LOVE Bourbon, and my favorite 'everyday-go-to' bourbon is...

When I drank Bourbon it was usually George Dickel.
Sipping some Canadian Whiskey right now. ;-`)

Maker's Mark is bourbon

Jimmy Beam!

Maker's Mark.

Scotch and Irish whisky are better... Merkatards.

Say's the Vegemite-man.

Sure Irish, Scottish and Canadian whiskeys are great,
but this thread is about BOURBON.

Have you ever had some good Kentucky bourbon aged in an Oak cask for 8+ years?

I prefer scotch too....Glenfidditch, Glenlevit, or good old Johhny Walker black (or blue if I'm feeling flush) all on the rocks please.

Have to go with my good friend Jim if I'm feeling bourbon.....

Having some now

WT 101

Wild Turkey?
What, are you 25 or 72? LoL.

Lol, it has been my go to since I was 21. At first I just liked watching other people's faces while I was drinking it, now, I love it!


Happy holidays man!!

+1 Early Times is cheap and delicous!

Old Grandad and George Dickel (tenesee whiskey) both make a great Manhattan and are affordable.

chase it with gasoline, it makes it taste better.

Never had a Diesel, aren't those sold in magazines or online only? Any good?

You have a fair taste in Scotch.........I agree, Sir!

Knob Creek.

Life is too short for crappy Bourbon.

Goooood Bourbon

Goes down smooth, and warm and explodes in the gut

Then,


Before you know it, your ass is whipped.

Chicks love the stuff, make em giddy as hell, hide your stash from em, or they'll leave empty bottles and then do your neighbor !

I bet your neighbours love having you next door. LoL.

Don't have a favorite...yet. I try a new bourbon every couple months lately. Tried Woodford Reserve, MM 46, knob creek and knob creek small batch, bulleit and bulleit sb rye and willett. MM 46 was pretty darn good, so was knob creek small batch. Going to try buffalo trace, curious now.

1792 Ridgemont Reserve is pretty damn tasty and smooth for under $20

Bourbon's unique character comes from the 51 to 79 percent corn in its recipe. The addition of water to crushed or rolled grain begins the fermentation process, and the fermented mash is distilled to produce a spirit that is no more than 80 percent alcohol by volume. Bourbon may be double-distilled and aged at least two years in charred oak barrels. The result is a mellow, woody blend of flavors that may be bottled straight out of a single barrel or blended from a number of barrels in a small batch. Sour mash whiskey uses the bourbon recipe but starts the mash with leftovers from a previous batch, much like the starter in sourdough bread. The sour mash process gives a sweeter, deeper flavor to the final product. The alcohol by volume content of bourbon and sour mash is adjusted to between 40 and 50 percent (80 to 100 proof) at bottling time.

AND YES..MANY ARE...VERY MUCH DIFFERENT..

A very smooth bourbon that has been left unnoticed. Smoky and robust.

They are great, and you can get em cheap on Cigarbid.com

These and Man O WAr Ruinations are my current top 2.

I love Bullit.

They used Bullit as a prop in the HBO show "Deadwood"

4 roses. One of the best deals on this planet.

Poker Face all distilled spirits such as Scotch, Boubon, blends, Rye. etc are whiskeys.

Early Times in this country was one of the lawful ones during prohibition and called a Kentucky Whiskey as it supposedly had minerals in it from the naturally filtered waters from which is was made and termed a medicinal whiskey.

Thanks for the heads up. La Flor Dominicanas are killing my wallet.

Bookers

Woodford is pretty good stuff and Bullit for a walk on the wild side.

Bars push it as a cheap house bourbon, cause they still believe it to be so. I knew your comment to be right.

"A little bourbon history: Early Times started out as a bourbon back in 1860, and remained so until the early 1980s."
