Just browsing though the how many bottles do you have open at any given time and it just made me wonder so im just curious im sure it varies a lot on...

It was long time to close that huge thread and start a new one, so I'll start it off with what I had last night. A little taste of Ardbeg...

As a newbie, I notice a lot of posts that allude to the fact that many bourbon brands were better decades ago. Just a few examples that come to mind...

Look, I am as Texan as they come. In a state where Yankees from the Rust Belt have diluted the accent I still say Howdy as "Heidi" and say "nine" as ...

Most bourbons have a cork top, but some have a screw cap, Makers Mark being just one. What is your favorite screw cap bourbon?

This is a _very_ open ended question with many angles. As I browsed my available options for drinking tonight, it made me wonder what other's logic,...

According to a facebook post today by Evan Williams the white label bottled in bond will be expanded nationwide. With most of the news lately seems...

Another long thread that needed to be closed so here is a new fresh What Foreign Whisk(e)y did you purchase thread. Myself, probably will regret...

At the recent Sampler Gazebo, I saw a Maker's Mark that, in my reverie induced by some singular table offerings, struck me as possibly a rare older...

I've noticed in quite a few threads here that some people will make a "house blend" from 2 or 3 bourbons or ryes. I was hopeful that people might be...

I was browsing The Party Source's webpage and was contemplating a purchase and ship to Minnesota. To my horror I discovered that they no longer ship...

I have really been disappointed with the decline of WT products over the past 5 years, and over the past year have become disappointed with OWA...

My mint is coming up in the garden, time for a couple of Derby Mint Juleps tomorrow! Cracking a bottle of Sam Houston 10yr for mine, what's going in...

Keeping personal tastes in mind, what are the limited production, rare, and hard to find boubons that should be considered "must buys" if found while...

Here in Minnesota, most 750's and 1L bottles are made of glass. Exception being some 750's are offered in plastic "traveler" bottles. A few of the...

Thanks to a suggestion from a fellow member, we're gonna switch gears once again, and go with a BOTM that is a little more nondescript this time. ...

I feel silly when I have an all rye buying day and then I post about it in the bourbon purchase thread, so I'm starting this thread, hope its not too...

I took the Barton / 1792 / Tom Moore tour during the sampler. I learned: -Bourbon has to be between 51% and 80% corn. If over 80%, then it's...

I'm considering investing some of my 'hard earned cash' into a bottle of HP. Is there a huge difference in the flavor of the 18 vs the 15? What...

So I've had it in my mind for a while now to start an online e-commerce business selling bourbon. I'm located here in Louisville and I know I'd be...

I've had more foul scotches than foul bourbons. The worst? Johnny Walker Red Label. Bilgewater mixed with Ethenol is better.
