So um, Bourbon thread? Yeah, Bourbon Thread.

[Dell Husker]

I’m not a fan of SR so I’d probably be out on that one. I do have some other Wellers I could raffle later on @Dell Husker

I’d be in. Just let me know if you start one

 

[Ironwardog]

Any interest in a weller special reserve 1.75 raffle at $8 a spot plus shipping if not local to Omaha or Lincoln?View attachment 47994

When is the raffle? I’d be in.

If your doing a tPb raffle for it I’d be in too I’ve never gotten to try Wellers

SR is my basic bourbon, but I really like 12 and Antique 107.

 

[Bootleg11]

Just found a bottle of horse soldier reserve in the back of my liquor cabinet. That’s a good day.

Oh SR is a great bourbon. I honestly don’t know what it is that I don’t like, but I’ve never met anyone else that doesn’t like it

Everybody likes what they like.

My youngest son is a bigger fan of the sweeter, corn forward bourbons.

If he’s a corn forward and sweet guy then get him a bottle of nixta.

Don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.

Mexican Corn liqueur and the bottle is the shape of a corn cob. A must for all Husker fans.

Sounds like something that sits on the shelf of the bar gathering dust, but I get it.

It’s tasty. I’ve definitely gotten more interested in the odd liqueur options out there than bourbon. I still mostly drink bourbon but I’ve got too much already to spend time finding more.

From Death and Co in Denver:

Circuit Breaker

1 fl oz Mezcal Vago Elote
1/2 fl oz Charanda (Sub options: aged rhum agricole or a split of blanc agricole and aged spanish-style rum)
1/2 fl oz Corn Liqueur (Nixta)
1/4 fl oz Cynar
1 dash Angostura Bitters
1 twist Orange

Ice: single large cube

1. Pre-chill glass.
2. Stir with ice and strain.
3. Express orange twist and add as garnish.

An old fashioned variant:

North American

1 1/2 fl oz Rye
3/4 fl oz Corn Liqueur
1/2 fl oz Chili Liqueur
1/3 fl oz Maple Syrup
1 dash Orange Bitters
1 drop Saline Solution

Stir with ice and strain into a rocks glass with one large ice cube.

And a sour:

Blaze and Maize

3/4 fl oz Mezcal Joven
3/4 fl oz Ancho Reyes Verde Chile Poblano Liqueur
3/4 fl oz Corn Liqueur
3/4 fl oz Lime Juice

Shake with ice and strain into a coupe.

I’m normally a neat or rocks guy, but the old fashioned variants look interesting.

Doesn’t get much better than a sunny January day, a pour of Eagle rare, a cigar, and a scenic view of 84th and Pine Lake from the Fairfield Inn.

@cwessel76 has a good old fashioned recipe. Not sure how original it is but it's my go to.

It’s just a solid recipe. If I’m waffling back and forth on other drinks I’ll just make an OF and life is good.

Type it up again. I can't find it.

Let me finish this last email and I’ll type it up.

Not sure I’ve ever had the original old fashioned recipe, but most I have are some level of drinkable. I’ve had a few variations some friends found or made up and they’re all generally pretty good.

My typical struggle (if there is one) is giving up drinking a good bourbon straight to drink an old fashioned.

My favorite OFs typically use Elijah Craig but anything over $40-50 a bottle is just a waste like you said.
