Best Bourbon or Whiskey

[Buccanoles]

I LOVE Bourbon ! I think I have drank all of them at least once. My favorite is Woodford Reserve. I cant drink it as my daily Bourbon because it is pricey, but damn is it good. I guess good ole Wild Turkey or even Ancient Age is my daily choice. Anybody else have any favorite Bourbons or Whiskey?

I can get a 750ml for around $32.00 Surprisingly I have never tried Rye Whiskey. I will have to pick some up and try it.

[LarryJewell]

Crown Royal is my fav :D, I'd say Gibsons but its so hard to get :baby:

[HiMilz]

I have to agree with you Larry-Crown

[jraymer]

I have been looking for a good whiskey too. Tried a bottle of Makers Mark, didn't really enjoy it. Tried some Jameson whiskey, liked it quite a bit better than the Makers. Who makes a good rye whiskey that I should try?

[FarmDiesel22]

I like Prichards Sweet Lucy. But its hard to find, not every place carries it.

[doug9940]

I always have a couple of bottles around. Just checked the bar and found The Glenlivet 12yr old single malt scotch, The Balvenie 12yr single malt scotch, Makers Mark (my personal favorite), VO, Seagrams 7, and of course Jack.

[semperfidoordie]

I personally have to say Kickin Chicken Rare Breed (wild turkey some call it) or makers

[maxaholic]

Kentucky Deluxe. Ah who am I kidding that crap is for broke college kids. A buddy turned us on to Pendletons about a month ago. It is by far the smoothest whiskey I have ever had. But you can never go wrong with Jack.

[sweetdiesel]

Um:confused: is it just me or is JD a sweet crappy whiskey? That is what i dispize about Crown royal!
I have tried makers mark and actually enjoyed it:thumb: I drank alot of Jim beam when I lived down under VS the JD



Question: What to you is a good whiskey?

[JMK777]

Jim Beam for me but Im more of a whiskey guy.

[doug9940]

I'd like to place a standing order for 5 cases :hug:

[trashygasman]

Crown Cask 16 is pretty dang good! I think it's even better than the $200 Crown XR.

[JMK777]

Jim Beam is whiskey. It's bourbon whiskey.

true it is "burbon whiskey" but not true whiskey there only 2 manfuactors i know of that are true whiskey Jack and George Dickel, very different taste

"All bourbons are whiskey, but not all whiskeys are bourbon...Whisky is an alcoholic distillate from a fermented mash of grain produced at less than 190 proof in such a manner that the distillate possesses the taste, aroma, and characteristics generally attributed to whiskey, stored in oak containers (except that corn whisky need not be so stored), and bottled at not less than 80 proof, and also includes mixtures of such distillates for which no specific standards of identity are prescribed.

For a whiskey to qualify as bourbon, the law--by international agreement--stipulates that it must be made in the USA. It must be made from at least 51% and no more than 79% Indian corn, and aged for at least two years. (Most bourbon is aged for four years or more.) The barrels for aging can be made of any kind of new oak, charred on the inside. Nowadays all distillers use American White Oak, because it is porous enough to help the bourbon age well, but not so porous that it will allow barrels to leak. It must be distilled at no more than 160 proof (80% alcohol by volume). Nothing can be added at bottling to enhance flavor or sweetness or alter color. The other grains used to make bourbon, though not stipulated by law, are malted barley and either rye or wheat. Some Kentucky bourbon makers claim that the same limestone spring water that makes thoroughbred horses' bones strong gives bourbon whiskey its distinctive flavor. Kind of like that "it's the water" thing with Olympia beer.

Bourbon can be made anywhere in the U.S., but all but a couple of brands are made in Kentucky. Only the state of Kentucky can produce bourbon with its name on the label. The name comes from Bourbon county in the central bluegrass region of Kentucky. This county was named in 1785 to honor the French royal family and was once the major transshipment site for shipping distilled spirits down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. Barrels shipped from there were stamped with the county's name, which then became the name of this kind of whiskey. Interestingly, there are no distillers in Bourbon county, Kentucky right now. "

I drink whiskey for quality not quantity. Of course I feel good but don't get the urge to have to puke or feel like crap the next morning.

[Red Dmax]

I happen to know a guy that makes his own whiskey.... It is goooooood!!! It's smooth and will knock your d##k in the dirt.

[CancerPipe]

I'm partial to Jack Daniels. True its a bit sweet, but I love it.

[Chevy1925]

always love the Jack D but will drink crown on occation. Favorite by far is makers mark mint julep. only produced once a year before the kentucky derby but man, super smooth but still has the whiskey flavor. You taste the mint but it just seems to blend very well. speakin of, i need to order some more :D

[ICULKN]

:spit:Jack Daniel Green Label, Not as sweet as the Black label. Not sure if they are still making it ??. Was only able to get in Texas and Kentucky, and overseas. But it is good

[Red Dmax]

X2! And it's your turn to buy Simon-I got Larry on the last trip!

Danfields Private Reserve or any flavour of Gibson's Finest are my two choces of rye whiskeys.
The rest you can all clean your paint brushes with as far as I am concerned-especially Jack Daniels!!:poop:

Simon really likes to get after a bottle of Royal Rumble from time to time as well-warm, with no mix is his favorite.



Just little sips.......:rofl:

[Bobcat]

Wild Turkey also makes a rye whiskey. It is pretty decent. Rare Breed is good. Jack has too much charcoal for me. We have Sun Drop in NC and it is the #1 chaser/mixer for bourbon. Hard to find it outside of NC.

man do I love some sun drop and wild turkey:happy2:

[fatboylmm]

Woodford is the most delicious thing on the planet!Second place is Makers mark, Buffalo Trace is pretty tasty too if you can find it. Um Im gonna poor some now,,,,

[Dirtymaxx03]

pendelton whiskey. try it

[02dirtymax]

Beam gets my vote.

[bullfrogjohnson]

Anyone ever try Old Whiskey River?

[Subman]

Been a blended scotch drinker most of my life but have gotten into Black Velvet Reserve as of late. Good stuff. Really not much more expensive than the regular Black Velvet, (was only a dollar more for the big bottle here in Oregon) but much smoother. Aged 8 years or so they say on the bottle. Always thought Candian whiskey was Rye but just reading up on it, it only has to be a small percentage Rye. Really never been a fan of sour mash or any Bourbon for that matter. But...if that's all here is...:thumb:

[jraymer]

Anyone ever try Bulleit Bourbon? Saw it the other day and was tempted but didn't pull the trigger. Says it has a 30% rye content.

[SmokeShow]

I'm from KY and love the smell of em making the bourbon but not a big fan of the taste. If I do have some, I prefer Crown Royal over anything I've had from here. Then again, I haven't had the high end local concoctions so who knows.

C-ya

[lotsofmiles]

I'll settle this. Send your favorites to me and I'll have a taste test and get back to you.:thumb::D

[Operator1]

Bulleit is good, I usually go for Wild Turkey, but sometimes I want a change, and this is it. Rare Breed is the best thing in the liquor store.

[bighawg]

Crown Cask 16 is pretty dang good! I think it's even better than the $200 Crown XR.
Very Good :thumb: Expensive but good.

One of the best I've had was Michters, ultra smooth. It's about 80 bucks a bottle.

[S Phinney]

Dad gummit John, I told you not to get all the whiskey drinker stirred up again!:spit:

[Nacho05]

I've tasted Henry McKenna single barrel and it is pretty good. Had Pappy Van Winkle ($80 bottle) and it was a hair better than Henry McKenna... not worth the price for the slight increase.

[mytmousemalibu]

One of my faves, I like it!

Also Stranahans Colorado Whiskey, have a 7yr sittin on the desk:thumb: yum!
think it was $70+ iirc:o But good stuff!

Been known to drink Makers Mark and if im feelin like PO'ed, the bite of Knob Creek goes ok.

[Buccanoles]

Yes. My father-in-law and I drink alot of Crown and he's not afraid to spend the money on it. So I just drink his.:D

[Operator1]

I tried Eagle Rare a while back, had never heard of it, but it was on sale. It was a few bucks cheaper than Rare Breed, and quite good.

[mytmousemalibu]

I've been looking for Colorado Whiskey for a while, still cant find it. :(

That sucks! Perhaps you could ask a liqour store to order you some? Im not sure but Stranahans might sell by order from there site? Worse comes to worse, i suppose i could snag you a bottle from the store here and mail it to ya:thumb:

[sik 07]

Girlfriends granny cleaned out her wetbar, I inherited a bunch of un-opened "old - talking 20 year plus old" bottles of Crown, Wild Turkey, Johnny Walkers red & black, Etc.........

Life is good :D

[MadMaxx61]

www.whiskeywise.com

I am a Crown guy but am on a Forty Creek kick

Other good ones I like are:

Gibson’s Finest Stirling
Pendleton
Wiser's Very Old
Paddy Whiskey

[jolar]

Discovered Balvenie "Doublewood" a couple months ago.
Good Scotch.
Like it way better than my usual JD single barrel.

[Diesel Pilot]

Mostly lots of Crown, with some Canadian Club when I'm being cheap.

and for curing colds and putting hair on your chest, there's always.

[Dalyfarms]

I don't like to brag but I drink Stag!! Beer aka Steak taters and gravy
But crown and water has been know to pass my lips.

[Buccanoles]

Looks like I have a lot of Bourbon/Whiskey to try. I've been down the Old Grandad road though... not pretty.

[maxthis]

hmm.....In order, these are all I care for but I mostly drink beer or seagrams 7(cheap and good!)

1.Crown Royal Xtra Rare
2.Crown Royal
3.Seagrams 7
4.Canadian Club
5.J.T.S Brown

[LarryJewell]

Canadian Mist is good, its cheap and it comes in a plastic, break proof bottle :D

[blackduramax07]

Wild Turkey Rare Breed. God smiled when this stuff was created.

For a change of pace: "Kentucky Nail"

2 parts Wild Turkey 101
1 part Wild Turkey American Honey

A little sweet, but a good after dinner cocktail.

[403turbo]

Wild turkey rare breed is good. Russel's reserve is good if you can find it. Bullit burbon is OK, maybe a step down from Rare breed.

Someone mentioned JD green label...maybe I'm missing something but I didn't enjoy that stuff.

My current weakness is Knob Creek small batch aged 9 years. Pricey but worth it. :thumb:

[Buccanoles]

For some reason I was on a JD kick this past weekend but by Sunday it was starting to make me nauseous. Too sweet maybe??? Any suggestions for a good Whiskey/Whisky/Blend/Bourbon that isnt very sweet?

[Diesel Pilot]

I found a stash of Woodford Reserve that I didn't realize I had, and I know I didn't buy it.:whisle:

Anyways, Got a new favorite until the stash runs out.

:shots: :alcoholic:

[SuperSonic]

Crown XR (great but too damn expensive)
Rare Breed
Knob Creek

In that order.

[kupitz]

Jim Beam is my daily driver, Crown for the weekends and for special occasions I'll go with a small batch bourbon...there's one that's 1742 or something like that...4 numbers starting with 1-7 that is phenominal.....extremely smooth!

[CurtisEmery]

Gibsons
Crown Royal
Triple 5
Wisers
Canadian Club
In that order.

[egressin]

crown and reserve, jd gentlman, single barrel, wild turkey are usually in my liqour/meat freezer.
i heard crown black was good gonna have to get a bottle

[Buccanoles]

Crown Black is good. Beam Black... not so much.

[Va Vince]

Makers Mark and Wassmunds, a local distiller.

[dslkraz]

I drink 7 with orange juice and mountain dew on the rocks its amazing
