HessStation Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 So I was a hardcore scotch try'er out person for like 7-8 years but have settled nicely into a glass of Bourbon every now and then. Woodford Reserve is da bomb.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlancemehlot Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Favorite Bourbon: Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. Just be warned it needs more than a dash of water, though I wouldn't ice it. It is 140 proof, so its a slow, sipping whiskey. i take it with a water back to slow me down. If you want to have a good drinker as opposed to a sipper, Bulleit is a nice bourbon, though no where near as complex as the Craig. If you're new to bourbon, I suggest good old Jim Beam. It's sweeter and likes a mixer like ginger ale, and can be had straight as well, once weened off the mixer. You'll eventually get to a point where the sweetness becomes a bit much and move to more refined bourbons that will kill both your liver and your wallet. The Craig is under $50. i'd wait on it until you really acquire the taste though. As for scotch, Johnny black does the trick for me unless i'm feeling artsy. Then i go with Laphroaig Single Malt 10. It's a mouthful of earth and peat moss and tastes like you just dug a chunk of damp Scottish pasture up, dropped it into juicer made of burnt oak and ladled grain alcohol into it. It's a fun Scotch for me. The 10 year old runs about $50, but you can spend hundreds on the 18 yr varieties. My apologies to warfish for my less than eloquent descriptions. edit: spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
