Favorite Bourbon

[Bill S]

Wednesday nights are Men's Nights at my friends private pub. 4-8 regulars gather to sip bourbon, smoke cigars, eat and simulator golf. Always good bourbon from Blanton's, to Pappy to Old Forester and everything in between. Good, clean fun, usually.

No more vodka posts...BORING!

Take it to a vodka thread?

Not my responsibility to fix YOUR boredom...take responsibility for yourself, don't expect others to do it for you.

Don't read the vodka posts

I did take responsibility. Hence my post.

You could always make a bourbon post.

That might be a gentle push back on subject, now look at what we are doing

And to the bourbon, I am typically happy with a MM. More of a Rye person.

I did. Although you apparently missed it there buried among all the vodka posts?

Aww...heck. Make another one!

I know, how about some of you post your favorite drinks mixing vodka with bourbon—or, à la Rudy Toombs / George Thorogood, the brands and order in which you like to swig them.

EDIT:
P.S. Please don’t take this post seriously.

The only thing I put in my whiskey is a little splash of water or small ice cube.

I don't mind a cocktail now and then but, yeah, most bourbon I drink is taken neat. Occasionally an ice cube typically only if, but not always if, it's a high octane barrel/cask strength.

I'm with ya' there. I generally only use ice with higher proof bourbon. 90-100 proof, a little water is good enough. Beyond that, a little ice is nice.
All this bourbon talk is kinda makin' me want some...
It's five degrees outside and snowing. I'm not goin' anywhere.

Good plan. I ain’t goin’ anywhere that I know of tonight in this subzero weather, either. But if I drink too much 110-proof bourbon tonight, who knows what I’d be capable of doin’ or where I’d be capable of goin’ come tomorrow.

It's good excuse to not shovel the walkways.

happy to engage about bourbon at any time, it's a fascinating history of which I have good knowledge and am glad to share with others, ...you have made two posts in this thread since January of 24 until today, and both were to correct errors I made in my posts, both of which I quickly acknowledged...perhaps this will spur you to engage more and relieve your boredom....moving on.

 

[tarior]

I went ahead and poured a little Eagle Rare.

And I, two fingers of Old Scout 12-yr.

Cheers!

Now that my palate is warmed up, I'm going for the Old Elk eight year single barrel.

I've made myself a cocktail so as to join you. But I've had to use a (CDP-produced!) gin and not a nice bourbon. My apologies, it's the best I can do right now.

But I'll share a pic of a bottle of bourbon that I'm not willing to open at the moment. It's definitely one of my all-time favorite bourbons but one that is not available any longer.
