Bourbon Talk

[AXE]

Not really a straight Bourbon guy...what Bourbon would you all recommend for an Old Fashioned?

Bulliet is a good whisky for mixing and not too expensive. I like the rye, but the regular is good too. It's a decent sipper too, just nothing that's gonna wow you.

If you want to test the waters, Bulliet now sells some pre-mixed Old Fashioned and Manhattan drinks. They are decent tasting and convenient when I go camping, so I don't have to bring all the ingredients. They aren't expensive in general, but if you like them it's better to spend on separate ingredients.

Yea that’s a great idea. Penelope also makes one.

These pre-mixed ones from Suntory are also decent. Frys/Kroger has them on sale right now for $10, usually $13-15.

The thing about the premixed ones is that you can't adjust the ingredients. I like certain proportions in my Manhattan and also the Vermouth from Rossi, so mixing is good for that.

Been dead around here! Thought I'd reminsce some.

Gonna have to find some more soon!

Its gotten to be fairly available in my area now. Lots of places have it in stock, maybe not out on the normal shelves. Prices have come back down closer to earth, with it being priced at $100 give or take most places I’ve seen it.

I’m more of a scotch guy myself, but do like a few bourbons… Blantons, Woodford Double Oaked and Elijah Craig Toasted Rye being my favorites.

I dont see it much around here, but I don't look that hard either. Might have to expand my reach.

I got this bottle from a friend. His brother had a couole cases of it from his work connections.
