steel1212 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Was watching the UK V FL game, good game by the way, and decided to break open a bottle of bourbon I got for christmas. It was a bottle of Blantons single barrel. Not to bad for lower proof bourbon, not to bad at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoShot Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Glad to find out UK won that one. Purdue managed to choke again! Back to the important topic, Blanton's is good. I am still a fan of Woodford Reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddler Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I thought all you shooters would be drinking Bulleit Bourbon. I picked up a bottle over the holidays and it is surprisingly drinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a bottle over the holidays and it is surprisingly drinkable. I have a couple of bottles but its not my first choice when I go to the bourbon cabinet. Blanton's single Barrel is good, but tends to be a bit over priced generally. (I work selling liquor, so I know the prices.) Bulleit is good for everyday, and I reccomend it, but the best is still the Woodford. Smooth as a milkshake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveU Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I personally like it (My Dad works at the distillery, too) but I know steel1212 is a bit of a bourbon snob. Woodford doesn't quite cut it for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMC Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 How about a good cigar to go with it? A fresh Monetcristo and a glass of burbon is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heiter Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 After all the good comments about Woodford I stopped to pick up a bottle on the way home. Good call guys. Very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimel Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 No no no. Woodford and Blanton are terrible and you are risking bodily injury by consuming those. You want the cheapest slop on the shelf that says "bourbon" on it. Never spend more than $20 a gallon. Send those bottles of high end whiskey to me for safe disposal. I promise to filter each bottle properly before flushing the remainder. I have a bottle of Blanton's given to me by a very dear friend many years ago. It stays in the liquor cabinet and is only used for very special things. Lately it only seems to be seeing action to mark the passing of friends though. Woodford is my go-to bourbon. Geo. Dickel #12 is my go-to Tennessee. Jim Beam yellow label for rye. Yes, there is a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoShot Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I have a bottle of 20 year old "Pappy Van Winkle" Bourbon that is saved only for very special occasions. I got it a a retirement present from co-workers. I guess they were damn glad to get rid of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimel Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Where you born in Kentucky and just transplanted far west? No, in fact I haven't spent much time east of the Mississippi other than a bunch of trips on business to up-state NY (Syracuse, Ithaca and Cooperstown). Never even been to Kentucky (yet). I need to fix that one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
