Pappy for the top tier.
Weller special reserve for every day drinking.
Buffalo Trace for a more low end.
Favorite mixed drink is Bourbon/Sprite/7Up/GingerAle
Brand doesn’t matter as much but there is still a noticeable taste difference between brands.
Woodford, in old fashioneds. at this point, i've made more than most bar tenders, and i prefer to do it myself.I jsut tried pappy for the first time after the Ohio game (neighbor had it). Wow. And i mean wow.
My go to is Woodford.
Elijah Craig, Single Barrel, for ALL tiers ... !!What's your favorite bourbon for each price tier?
What's your favorite bourbon mixed drink?
Does brand matter if using bourbon for mixed drinks?
I agree completely. There are lower bourbons than Buffalo Trace but that’s as low as I will go. I fully admit as Bourbons go I am definitely a snob.Truthfully, this is probably what Bourbon drinkers would define as the "tiers".. but for almost everyone else, and even casual Bourbon drinkers, you're a snob lol.
I got a bottle of that for Christmas a few years back. Was saving it for a final four appearance.My little brother purchased 2 bottles of Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch from the distillery. He gifted me one, which I'm taking to Germany next month. Around $125-$150 bottle. I'm not a normal bourbon drinker, but making an exception for upcoming Thanksgiving.
I agree, my favorite bourbon for sipping, and only way I drink it is neat. My every day is Makers and sprite.Not sure what tier but Wild Turkey Rare Breed is excellent.
