What's everyone sipping on today? I'm bringing the heat with 1792 Ridgemont Reserve Small Batch, before I go for the smooth with Evan Williams Single Barrel and McKenna 10.
OT: National Bourbon Day
- Thread starter bigmatt718
- Start date
I'm counter-flowing. The wife bought me a Dalwhinnie 15 for our anniversary, so I'll be celebrating National Bourbon Day with a fine single malt.
Good choice!
Yeah? I've never had it. I'm generally an Islay guy, so this is different for me.
I'm dabbling with Islay, love that smoky peat flavor. Ardbeg is what I was drinking most recently.
Lagavulin, FTW. :)
And, of course, if you're really looking to get crazy, there's nothing in the world like Laphroaig. The nose on it is super intense.
A little harder to find, but I like Bruichladdich a lot, too.
So hard to find Blantons anymore.
I think it is my fault as I have been recommending it for 25 years. Should have kept my mouth shut.
However, I do have an American Pharoah Commemorative bottle of Makers Mark. Now the Justify won the Triple Crown time to crack open that bottle.

Blanton's is outstanding, well worth the $55 or so. I'm looking out for Elijah Craig Barrel Strength.
I am gonna head to my local Bistro and have some Macallan.
And yes, @Caliknight, I might even bring my iPad along with me. [winking]
I'll take a shot at Jenks tomorrow night.
Last time I was there I shacked with a Bulgarian or Georgian chick , I forget which country.
Fun times

Try it once, will not want anything else. Just watch the re--bound when you stand up.

I like Bourbons and Scotchs but generally don't buy them. What are some picks for good reasonably priced (under $50) bourbons?
I'm finding it more likely now to find Blantons at 70 than 55...
At that price point I usually pass.
Mildone is correct...Eagle Rare is a fantastic bang for your buck bourbon. I'd also recommend my suggestions earlier, Evan Williams Single Barrel and McKenna 10.

Best player on the Washington Capitals NHL team. Won the Stanley Cup and more or less has been partying since.

Gotcha...well the name sounds Russian so overdosing on vodka seems like it’d be a natural event!
I was there a couple yrs ago and at the time they were so new the good stuff was still in barrels... i think we only sampled the vodka.
I've heard that WhistlePig is very good (like Widow Jane), but is BS (also like Widow Jane).
A friend gave me a snort of Clyde May' s bourbon from Alabama last night. Loved it and rocked my socks!
I'm not even a bourbon guy - scotch is so much more fulfilling to me, and prefer Irish whiskey way more than bourbon typically.
