So um, Bourbon thread? Yeah, Bourbon Thread.

That’s insane bro. It’s good, but I don’t know if it’s that good. It’s fairly mild and I prefer my bourbon to bite back.

I have a few Blanton's Gold. I really like it if you haven't tried it.

Can somebody tell me if they’ve tried Rock Hill Farms? That’s my current great white buffalo. Ive heard a couple people say it’s better than Blanton’s. Soooo obviously when I heard that I wanted to try it. I’m currently on a waiting list.

I haven't tried it, but heard the same thing

I haven’t but I’ve always wanted to. How much does a bottle usually go for?

Around $225-$250 secondary unfortunately. Long story but I got three 750ml bottles for free.

Now that’s story worthy and possibly a lot of hand jobs.

That’s why god made Bookers 129 proof 🙂 For those times when you want a bite.

I cracked open a 1792 Sweet Wheat last night. Delicious

Attended a buddy's 40th birthday party last night (both my close neighbors are slightly older than I am, but they're both good dudes). We did a whiskey tasting, mostly bourbon (what the host had asked folks to bring), where each guy brought a bottle. It turned out to be just the right number of folks at six, including the guest of honor, so we tried five. The lineup:

Jefferson Ocean
Blade and Bow
High West Campfire (what I brought)
Whistlepig 10
Old Forester - 1897

As I've mentioned here and in other drinking threads, I'm more of a scotch guy when it comes to whisk(e)y. For non-malts, I tend to prefer rye-heavy recipes over high-corn mashbills or wheated bourbons. I'm curious if any of you guys have thoughts on any of the above. The order they're listed are the order in which we tasted them, and I think each one was better than the next: starting from okay-ish/mediocre and ranging up to damn solid.

My wife bought me a bottle of Woodford Reserve Oat Grain this week. Pretty good. Very smooth with a slight peppermint finish that helps cool the burn.

Jefferson’s Ocean is good but waaaaaayyyyy overpriced. It’s gimmicky.

Whistlepig is my favorite of the list. It’s Canadian but I don’t hold that against it.

OF is damn good IMO.

I've been drinking. Finished off my Basil Hayden the other day and just broke into my new favorite bourbon Rowan's Creek since I can't find any fucking Blanton's anywhere.

How about you all?

How much did you pay for WFP if you don’t mind me asking? I’ll get one eventually, it’s just expensive secondary haha
