What bourbon are you drinking today?

If you have a Trader Joe's nearby their store label is surprisingly good; don't let the low price fool you. I don't know who bottles it for them and I don't really care. I'm on my third bottle. (not today... :) )

Although it hasn't been disclosed, most believe that Trader Joe's bourbon is distilled and bottled by either Buffalo Trace or Barton 1792. It has a slightly different mash bill than those distiller's name branded bourbons.
 
I recently put a home theater in my basement, and decided to put in "Billy's Bourbon Bar" as a highlight of the room, other than the movies;

I'm a fan of Westerns, Horses and Horse Racing, so that's the decor of the home theater. Ron Turcotte autographed "look-back" photo is the highlight,

I built the bar myslef out of oak and pine;

But that's not what this thread is about. It's about Bourbon. Next picture please;

I have a full bar in my family room, but wanted this to highlight Bourbon. I have been drinking Bourbon long before it was "Fashionable". Mostly Wild Turkey 81 proof standard. I know Jimmy the head Distiller at Wild Turkey and like his lower octane 81 proof for every day drinking. That's in the decanter behind the Evan Williams.

Some other bottles and a few new acquisisitons;

Welcome to the basement dwellers club. We have a combo home theater & stereo room, billiard room, exercise room, guest bedroom & bath in our basement. We're down there every evening. Only thing missing is a nice bar like yours. I'm also a fan of George Dickel, Old Forester, and Woodford Reserve. :thumbsup:

Careful... it's going to flood :eek: ;)
 
My wife has questioned my acquired bourbon tastes over the last 10 years. Every time I break open a bottle, she wants a sip, and the result is always the same "bad taste" face. I'm sure that you're familiar with that look. Anyway, today she came home with a 2-pack of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky shooter bottles. We both took a couple sips and I now know why Fireball is the number one seller in this area. Dirt cheap, overly sweet tasting, and only 66 proof. Perfect for the woman folk. No "bad taste" face from her on this one, but I got it bad when I took a sip. And my gut's been gurgling ever since. Damn cinnamon!
