Ready in the Boonies ...
- Thread starter Do Dah Day
- Start date
Never too early for good bourbon. I've waited too damn long to kick this season down the hill.
I’ve got lots of bourbon in my collection 😉. I’ll see your Ezra Brooks and have a pour of Old Ezra 7 and Old Foresters 1910 & maybe an Old Elk Double Wheat…😎 BOILER UP 💛🖤
I found it interesting how much debate there is over 1910 vs 1920. My tongue is not that discerning. At least not with bourbon.
I've got "problems" according to my lovely wife. A collection is fun, but you better have those "go-to" bottles. What is yours? I would say for me.... Buffalo Trace, Wild Turkey 101 and maybe EH Taylor Small Batch.
For me, personally. This years Birthday Bourbon was just ok. I prefer the single barrel/barrel proof over all of them.
on Neb football board ( page 5 ) there's a thread w/ 601 posts discussing Bourbon
Go to bottle, so hard to choose: Old Elk Double Wheat, Reamus Gatsby, Mid Winters Night Dram, Davies County Toasted. Russell Reserve 10,
1. Redemption High Rye (I am a pepper freak)
2. Woodford Reserve
3. Old Grand Dad Bonded
*** MY fav to drink is not a bourbon - Red Breast 12 (or 16 if I'm rich for a day)
4. Very Old barton 100 Proof --- I LOVE this, probably should be #1
Mid Winters is flat out delicious. RR 10 definitely a no brainier. RR 13 is one of my favorites
I used to love the Hard Truth sweet mash when Sam's had it for $18 a bottle. Such a great deal!
Looking for a recommendation.
-Under $50
-Viscous mouth feel, too many bourbons seem “thin” to me for lack of a better word
-Sweeter end notes, butterscotch and toffee. I like to drink bourbon with dark chocolate in the evenings.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Russell reserve 10, Johnny Drum, Woodford Double Oaked, Larceny…
I just had the Double Oak, liked the finish, very cherry when you have it with chocolate. But it did have that thin mouthfeel to me. Maybe they don’t get thicker than that, I’m certainly a shade tree bourbon drinker.
Appreciate the other picks.
Yah Woodford is on the thin side. Under 50 in this market makes it tougher lol
Buy a shot at a bar before buying a bottle:
1. Four Roses Single Barrel or Small Batch (less $$$)
2. Woodford Reserve
3. Push yourself past $50 and WELL WORTH it --- Old Forester 1910 (smoky caramel - 93 proof) or 1920 (chocolate cherries - 115 proof) --- 1897 may be your fav and it's the least costly.

You’re probably right about the price, I just don’t have enough passion for the hobby to spend much more.
Prostitutes however….
I'd say anything Wild Turkey, Maker's cask strength and for me the best daily....Weller Antique.
One of the best days of the year for me. Kick off to Purdue basketball season. Very much looking forward to what the season brings. More of A whiskey guy. If anyone knows of two good seats at Indy for the Purdue / Arizona game let me know. The only thing I can find are seats in the upper deck.
Who had under 2:00 for first review of the year.....it's our friend DJ involved....oh boy.
So, I guess this is the game thread then.... I missed the first minute and a half... did Samford have their short guy jump for them? Did Purdue have Edey go against the short guy?
