Food and Drink Any Bourbon drinkers out there? - Page 116

I've heard some good things about Buffalo Trace Bourbon.
http://www.buffalotrace.com/

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

I'm on a huge barrel proof kick right now.

All of my other bottles are getting ignored in favor of Stagg Jr, Old Forester 1920 and Elijah Craig Barrel Proof.

Thoughts on these I just bought tonight?

Weller Special Reserve
Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof (116.8 proof)

Wild Turkey definitely a sipping bourbon.

Weller Special Reserve is hard to find and nothing super special. Decent sipper but nothing spectacular and not worth the hassle of the work it can take to secure a bottle.

The Rare Breed is absolute gold for an easy to find bourbon. One of my favorites.

They had shelf full of special reserve in multiple sizes.

I am really liking the Rare Breed. I asked for a recommendation and a guy in the store just bought one, pulled out a shot glass he carried with him and gave me a quick sample. Guy said " You know I'm a drunk when I carry my own shot glass". lol

The liquor store I work at has a tasting bar where you can sample shit for free.

Anyone shooting good bourbon is worse than an alcoholic.
