My "regular, everyday" so to speak is Jim Beam. My "Special occasion" is Woodford reserve. Old fashioned glass, filled with ice, 70% bourbon, then topped off with spring water. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Don't know that I've tried enough bourbons to have a favorite... but I'm fairly good friends with both Jack and Jim.

My drink of choice, however, is Wild Turkey American Honey. Straight, poured over ice.

Favorite? Pappy Van Winkel's. I have had it once..... too rich for my blood. Now if you ask what I like as my regular go to? Well that's Bulleit. :)

I quit drinking a while ago, but when I took a whiskey it was Old Overholt, (rye not bourbon) or a scotch. Both neat.

I preferred Tequila, vodka or everclear with some unsweetened koolaid mix. But that's now 27 years in the past.

sipping some Makers on ice as I type, lol. Knob Creek, Makers Mark, Makers 46, Elijah Craig and a new player, Beam Devil's Cut.

That stuff from Tennessee? Good for degreasing stuff, lol.

IMO, the best Bourbon for the Buck is Evan Williams Black. It's smooth and mellow.

I'm thinking of giving this one a try.

I really like Buffalo Trace for an "everyday" bourbon - very smooth and affordable. Woodford is excellent. Good luck finding Pappy.

This is a good site providing good info on some of the better, more readily available, bourbons.

I have some Bulleit right now. It's alright but nothing special.
I have yet to find anything in the price range of woodford reserve that is better. It is really smooth and had great flavor.
I'm just getting into the bourbons and I'm working way up from the bottom.
Devils cut isn't bad but woodford is still best for the price.

I don't always drink bourbon but when I do I drink Wild Turkey Rare Breed.

Gents for an everyday bourbon try the Eagle Rare 10 year, its $25 a bottle. IMHO its much smoother than the Woodford. If you want to treat yourself the Jefferson Reserve is the way to go. Cask strength, the only one to buy, if you can find it, is George T Stagg.

Which is cheaper, beer nuts or deer nuts?

Deer nuts - they are just under a buck!:D

They are soapstone cubes that you freeze, then put in the glass so you can chill the drink without watering it down.

I am looking at my new bottle of Makers Mark. The wife told me to buy it cuz it had a Christmas sweater on the bottle. She wanted it for a doll.

On a recent trip, my wife and I took the tour at the Jim Beam Distillery. Quite interesting and well done tour. At the end we got to try two of the many varieties each. Cost was discounted for veterans.

For me, the higher the alcohol proof the less I liked it. And I couldn't understand the "single barrel" product. Why would a person want to buy something that there was little to no chance of getting the same taste in the next bottle?

Give Breckinridge a try. It's a fairly new bourbon distilled in Breckinridge, CO. I like it a lot.

Though I'm partial to a fine single malt Scotch over any bourbon any day.

Haven't had any in over 15 years, but Old Wellers 107 was my special occasion whiskey, and W.L. Wellers for normal use. 2 ice cubes.
Doesn't seem to be very well known brand outside of my area of the country. I guess Old 107 has been replaced by "Special Reserve".

Funny thing - I rarely drink any Bourbon or whiskey these days, just a little vodka in a Bloody Mary now & then. Can't tolerate the colored booze much anymore. The old body is telling me something.
