Dusty what did you think....I like it well enough but not in my top pours. What bourbons have you tried so far other than Woodford?

One of my favorites. Actually I ran out lat week. I need to pick some up. I've been drinking vodka, sake and Drambuie. Not at the same time, but....

Woodford came highly recommended to me as well, but ultimately I purchased Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare,...yup a bottle of each.
No regrets.
Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare are like my old Toyota pickup....they will never fail you!

Was given this as part of my birthday present. It is a good pour very likened to Elijah Craig in my opinion. Vanilla, leather, hint of cinnamon and apple. It is supposedly mixed with the remaining Stitzel / Weller stocks...not so sure if any of that taste is left. Must be low rye because there was little to no bite.

Very good pour. I was sad to see them take the 12 year age statement off a few years ago. Rumor has it, this “newer” bourbon is 7-8 years old.

I had Woodford in hand and saw this and decided to try something different. It's pretty good.

Not sure your bourbon drinking experience.... If you like that, try Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Four Roses single barrel, Elmer T Lee, Bowman Brothers small batch, Evan Williams single barrel as a start....(or you may already know about them
)

I like Bulleit and Basil Hayden. Maker's Mark and Knob Creek not so much.
Surprisingly, Trader's Joe was pretty good.

Trader Joe's also has Scotch and Irish Whiskey. Their oldest aged Scotch I've seen is 23 years old. The stuff is pretty good.Wow....I live in VA and all al-kee-hol is state controlled....wish my locat Joe’s carried bourbon! Wonder who’s bourbon that is
Hope springs eternal that Spring will show up one day and that means the end of brown liquor season for me. I will be moving on to various rums and although some of them are brown, I'm talking about you Mount Gay and Meyer's, I don't count them in the brown liquor catagory. So yesterday was a crappy day weather wise around here, so the wife and I stoked up the fireplace and I poured myself a glass of Four Roses Single Barrel bourbon. Now I am a dedicated "Wheater" when it comes to bourbon but I have to say the quality of the FRSB is outstanding at the price point of $45 per bottle. Highly recommended.

Worth every penny, in my opinion. Col EH Taylor small batch is another great pour in this price point.
