Quick name a bourbon

[shakes3858]

Im at the bar. I’ve been drinking tequila but the bartender poured a couple whiskeys with the big cube ice cubes and I want one. Name a bourbon a normal bar (outside Kentucky) would have.

I will order the first answer they actually have.

They didn’t have it so I went with Woodford reserve. Thanks for the advice.

Really like that one too. Smooth with a touch of burn.

I grew four or five miles from the distillery - yesterday checking out at a store in Houston a customer told the owner of store thanks for putting him on to Four Roses!

Woodford Double Oak

I had some Jim Beam Double Oak the other day.
It ain't Woodford, but not bad in a pinch.

Basil Hayden

Really like the Dark Rye basil, the regular is good too. Sazerac Rye if you can find it is another I like. I agree with the poster above too, for the money, it's hard to beat the smoothness of Bulleit. I'm personally not a big fan of the heavy charcoal flavor of Jack and Knob Creek, they go ok with coke but I don't drink high balls very often.

Southern Comfort 🥃


Not to be picky, but since we're in Kentucky, we should be accurate -- SoCo is a Liqueur, not a Bourbon.

Tried that one time, , did not care for it at all.

Since you are outside of Kentucky try W.L. Weller, especially if they have some of their 12 year old. 90 proof with a secondary grain of wheat. Weller used to be easy to find in KY but smallish store allocations these days make it tough to find.

Peace

I live in Indiana, and I have encountered this in other states outside Kentucky also. It really irks me when I ask the waitress/waiter/bartender "What kind of Bourbon do you have?" and they reply JD. Tennessee whiskey does not touch my lips. By the way, my go to Bourbon is Woodford.

Covid is over - long live this thread. I am currently sampling your recommendations and liking it!

Each to his own, but that was the worst stuff I've ever had. I called them and told them so. I doubt I get a Christmas card this year.

I feel the same way, I could barely finish it, it was that bad.

The finish tasted like burnt hair. I found they also own that hideous Bourbon Barrel Ale, so it makes sense. I couldn't give that stuff away, either.

I didnt like the start, the middle, or the finish, it just tasted weird overall. Like somebody was trying to make bourbon, but they had never tasted it before.

That bourbon barrel ale is strange to me. I like one if they're really cold, sometimes two, but after two they taste horrible to me, not sure what the deal is.

You're right, the beginning, middle, and end were terrible. The worst bourbon I've ever tried.

My wife LOVES that stuff. Not me .

I'm with you. I tried for a good 6 months to give those last few beers away, never did. I pitched them. First time I've ever thrown out beer.

Woodford is my go-to, but Buffalo Trace isn't half bad either. Bunch already mentioned are pretty good. Old Forester is another.
