Super User MCS Posted December 17, 2013 Super User Posted December 17, 2013 and if you mix it with a anything more than ice (I hear a splash of water is supposed to wake up the flavor) then don't waste your money on the good stuff. Beam is cheap and mixes well. Amen brother 1 Quote
basshole8190 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Makers Mark and Woodford Reserve are the best everyday drinks. Basil Hayden is pretty good as well. If you're on a small budget Old Forester has to be the best of cheap bourbon. Since the holiday is here, apple pie moonshine is the best holiday drink. (Moonshine basically unaged bourbon. ) paul masson is affordable and pretty good with pepsi I prefer Scotch that old enough to order its own scotch. It has different taste to it than corn whisky. However, the past week I been drinking 4 years old aged brandy that not going to live to see its 5th birthday. Paul Masson aged brandy is very good! I got a bottle from my cousin as a birthday gift;I finally cracked the bottle open and was very surprised with its drinkability and it doesn't burn either at 80 proof. Edit: On my birthday I had a 1999 edition Rocky Patel cigar paired with McClelland Highland scotch, it was amazing. Quote

The Mexican stuff Don Pedro or President....the Greek is good too, Metaxa has a few variations, some is cut with muscat wine. Smoooth. Can't forget sliwowica! Unique and good if you buy the right stuff. Just ask Martin he knows or at least his mom does Quote

KritterGitter Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 In the order of what my funding looks like, low to high, Makers, Knob Creek, Blantons....Straight up on some stones, with a good ol Yuengling behind it. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted December 20, 2013 Super User Posted December 20, 2013 Does he go by the name Robert? His answer is not valid in this thread .dsaavedra, If Jeff can ship it to you, I will send you a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle next year when it becomes available. This year I believe it's all sold out already. Quote

He sent me a bottle of the best tasting wine I've ever had during last years Christmas exchange. Quote

May be by next year I will have come into some money, I will definitely keep this offer in mind. Who is Jeff? Quote
VolFan Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 If he won't take the Pappy, I certainly will. I have tried most by virtue of my previous employment, and they are not to be missed if you get the chance. Quote

Super User Teal Posted December 21, 2013 Super User Posted December 21, 2013 I like Maker's Mark, but I can afford Evan Williams. That's exactly what I was gonna say 1 Quote
tholmes Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Makers, Knob Creek and Woodford Reserve Excellent choices! I'd add Weller Special Reserve to that list also. Here's an interesting article on bourbon: http://www.gq.com/life/food/201311/bourbon-whiskey-family-tree Tom Quote
cbass12 Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace for when I occasionally spoil myself. Evan Williams any other time. 1 Quote
Super User Root beer Posted December 24, 2013 Super User Posted December 24, 2013 Tried Elijah Craig for first time last night, it's alright with two ice cubes in it. It gets smoother lol. 1 Quote
aceman387 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 After last night i am going to have to say knob creek. 2 Quote
dave Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 I went through a bottle of Maker's recently. It was very good. I wanted to do a test so, I bought a bottle of Jim Beam. I only do ice. The Jim Beam was....bourbon. I drink a lot of Sam Adams. While Bud is beer...it's not Sam Adams. Same (to me) for the bourbon. I like Buffalo Trace. I almost went Knob Creek. I think I will when the Beam is gone. I am certainly liking the testing. 2 Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted December 30, 2013 Author Super User Posted December 30, 2013 I got a bottle of Knob Creek for Christmas from my cousin. I'd had a 50ml sample of it before but after having 2 glasses out of the bottle I got for Christmas, I really like it! 2 Quote
Goose21 Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Santa bought me a bottle of makers mark 46, I really enjoyed that bourbon. A little more bite than the good old makers mark I treat myself to on occasion. Quote
msk Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Journeyman Buggy Whip Wheat. Very nice bourbon! Quote
Super User bigbill Posted December 31, 2013 Super User Posted December 31, 2013 Give me a list of the best buy them and save them for Christmas eve 2014 as one more milestone. Quote
Goose21 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 My better half bought me a bottle of blantons for Xmas, going to bust it open tonight and enjoy a couple glasses after the little one is down. 1 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted January 14, 2014 Super User Posted January 14, 2014 You hear, Jim Beam, Makers Mark, Knob Creek and Canadian Club are now owned by the Japanese http://www.forbes.com/sites/maggiemcgrath/2014/01/13/jim-beam-maker-gets-13-6-billion-buyout-from-japans-suntory/ Quote
aceman387 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 On the advice of some of the members on here i picked up a bottle of Evan Williams bourbon and started making some whiskey old fashioned drinks for after work. Thanks guys. 2 Quote
