SERIOUS Bourbon Question

[Copper]

Jim Beam isn't the best, but it is a staple, it is ok with me.

Ironclad is nice, that might just be local here in the Tidewater area

1792 Single Barrel, very nice

Some people say Jack Daniels is Bourbon
Some people say Jack Daniels is not Bourbon

I like it either way. Sinatra loved it, they named a (n expensive) bottle after him

And as the others said, Knob Creek, Maker's Mark and Woodford are all nice

All of these have been on my shelf

Send her a rye. Similar profile, but less sweet.

Hmmm....

Recommendations?

I like the ones with a bit more spice. If you can get your hands on Dad’s Hat, I enjoy that. Old Overholt is the classic. If you want something a little smoother but not too sweet, Whistle Pig.

There used to be a bar in Ashburn called the Smokehouse.

The pilots and instructors where I worked would go there once a month.

They had a deal that they called the Bourbon Trail. It was a list of 80 different Bourbons. When you bought one, you checked it off the list. They kept all the scorecards behind the bar, I had one there, but I only had a couple dozen checked off.

If you bought and drank all 80, they would make a License Plate that said whatever the drinker wanted. One of our pilots was the first to hang a plate on the wall, I forget what it said, maybe his children's names.

I saw the above at a recent Costco on a trip. If they have overseas, I am thinking that they probably have it in the US. Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Anyway, I actually took this picture because I was thinking of you guys. @George-K @Mik @LuFins-Dad @Tom-K @Doctor-Phibes @Jolly @copper et al.

For knock you on your butt, but still has taste, Wild Turkey Rare Breed. 116 proof. I dunno, $50-$60?

Belle Meade is sweet, if you like that. Regular Knob Creek and Maker's Mark are decent everyday bourbons.

But take anything I say with a grain of salt. There are guys here a lot more knowledgeable than I am. I tend to drink bourbon when I have a drink, but I don't drink very often. A bottle will last me for half a year or more.
