Bourbon: What are you sipping on?

[buckethead1978]

I picked up a fifth of Elijah Craig 12 year today for a Christmas gathering tomorrow.

It is kind of hot for bourbon at the moment.

I really like basil Hayden right now. Got a bottle of jacob's ghost but not sure what to do with it.

What time should I be there?

 

[John Barleycorn]

WL Weller Antique and Ancient Ancient Age 10yr.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Nursing (yeah right), an Old Fashioned, made with Wild Turkey Rye.


sugar cube, muddled with half an orange slice and a cherry, a dash of bitters, and just a touch of club soda.


Add 3 ounces WT Rye, stir, and fill tumbler with ice.


Enjoy the goodness.

Larceny right now. Town branch in the wings.

 

[MrLair]

Makers on ice with a splash of water, or straight Woodford on an ice ball do it for me. Friend bought me a bottle of Jim Beam Ghost the other day, not a fan. Good for mixed drinks though.

Town Branch is horrible. Drinking a Four Roses Barrel Proof OESK

Finished off the Eagle Rare the other day. Had some 1792 last night at my brothers.

 

[LadyCat92]

Last night was Woodford Double Oak.

 

[makersmarkambassador]

Just finished off a bottle of Stagg Jr. Saturday night. Will be opening the other later in the week.

If you have a change to get a bottle, grab it...

 

[8titles]

Stagg is by far my favorite. Got a bottle of rj coming this week and can't wait to crack it open. I am drinking Knob Creek or Bakers right now depending on my mood.

 

[BlueBallz]

Probably the last 7 years I've been a Buffalo Trace guy. I drink a crapload of it.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Maker's Mark. Enjoyed an old fashioned last night at dinner.

 

[ghorn19]

E.H. Taylor.

Polished off 1/3 of a bottle of Buffalo Trace last night.

Pretty tasty for the price

[TexasTimCat]

Last night was Evan Williams 12 Year Single Barrel; really good

Beside that I have been bouncing back and forth between:

Basil Hayden
Bulleitt

Yummy

 

[bigbluedon]

Have some OESK myself..Very goood stuff...Just got a bottle of Eagle Rare and some Basil Hayden for a Christmas gift.
Love the Jefferson's Reserve also....Boy that is some smooth stuff..Merry Christmas everyone!!!

 

[NotchLickKat]

Wellers Antique. Wellers 12 yo on deck.

 

[WillGolf4Food]

Primarily a Makers Mark drinker but found a bottle of Four Roses that was given to me as a gift last year and drank some at the UK/UT game. Very smooth which is scary.

 

[ganner918]

Johnny Drum Private Stock
Willett Pot Still Resevre
Makers
Old Granddad

 

[80 Proof]

Sitting on the counter right now...

Basil Haydon
Bulliett
Old Grandad 114

and I've had a few sips of George T Stagg recently too, but I don't let that sit out.

 

[TKE_]

I know Weller 12 is hot right now because of the Pappy mash thing, but I thought it was average. Just MHO.

46 was surprisingly good. Anything four roses is my flavor.

 

[MDay]

Wathen's
Four Roses Small Batch
Four Roses 125th anniversary
Elijah Craig 21 year
Booker's
Blanton's

All have been sipped in the last two weeks.

 

[GrandePdre]

Woodford is the current selection.

 

[wildcatwelder]

Opened a bottle of Beam Devils Cut last night. 90 proof. It's fair, nothing great but I had to try it.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Got a bottle of Willett Single Barrell from my agency manager...

Really enjoyed...*very* smoky, and a little different, but I loved it.

 

[TKE_]

^another one I always skip. Bottle is a bit 'frilly,' but i have to try it sometime.

 

[Beavis606]

I'm one of Willy's people, so I'm trying to find a go-to, everyday bourbon that is smooth enough to drink neat. Any non-premium suggestions?

Like some of the other posters here, I too like Bulleit; it's pretty smooth neat, IMO.

For an 'all around' ok to sip great to mix? Kirkland Brand, EW.

 

[WalkersGoggles]

100 proof Old Forester that someone at work gave me.

 

[cgirard]

Weller Special Reserve. Hoping for a bottle of Booker's for Christmas.
