Food and Drink Any Bourbon drinkers out there? - Page 50

I've heard some good things about Buffalo Trace Bourbon.

Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order.

Thanks

Had a couple of mint juleps watching the derby today made from Blanton's. Doesn't get much better than that.

Checked out Julep in Westport last week and they have quite a collection.

Haha, not on purpose but I did end up getting something that was higher up.

Lol, If that was mine I would want some bigger rungs. I think I could step right through those little things.

A few months ago I was having dinner at Rye and wanted to try something new. Pikesville was recommended to me and it was just fantastic. Have not found it in stores but also have not looked very hard.

It's incentive to drink the cheaper stuff when you're already drunk.

I always make them climb up higher to get the good stuff. I also know one of the owners pretty well so I ask just to give him a hard time.

Hard to find a lot of good but even cheap and easily available bottles of bourbon that are plentiful in other states, but very limited or not available here in AZ. So when I was in California last weekend I snagged a few bottles to bring back here.

Love the Wellers. Havent had a chance to try Mckenna, but off the top of my head I dont think I liked the Sazerac for some reason. Does it have somewhat of a sour taste?

Not sour from my tasting but we all taste bourbons/whiskey a bit different. It's got a spicy rye type profile but a bit more fruity than other ryes. This is likely due to Sazerac 6 being only 51% rye, just barely meeting the requirement for the “straight rye” designation. It has a higher corn content, thus giving it a sweeter and fruitier flavor.

People seem to love McKenna and say that once word gets out, it will be hard to find like the Old Weller Antique I managed to snag.
