I noticed a few weeks ago that EW BIB is on the shelves in Michigan!

I'm going to grab a bottle and report back with my findings. I'm a big fan of the black label.

Welcome, Harshest.

I live in Lansing, too. Drop me a PM if you ever want to come by and have a look at my modest collection.

My favorite store is Goodrich Shoprite on Trowbridge. The only...

Tony, Traver, and I did some drinkin' and some chattin'...

Welcome!

My best advice: drink bourbon, not too much, 100 proof and over is better, start with an ice cube, put the last 50mls of your bottles into an empty mini bottle and save it for later.

Good list, Tony. You're going to scare this guy off! :bigeyes:

I would recommend two bottles to start: Elijah Craig 12 Year Old (MI Code 85136) and Weller Special Reserve (MI Code 92876). I...

Welcome to the group!

Hello and welcome.

This is a great place to learn.

What are your favorite bourbons right now? It's worth it to write them down so you can revisit the list in a year. I'd be surprised if half...

Welcome!

If any are available in your area, I suggest you pick up a few cheap 100 proofers. They never disappoint.

I have noticed that scotch drinkers like ER90 quite a bit. I think that might be why I've never cared for it (never met a scotch I loved). I like the bottle, though!

Excellent question. I've wondered about this myself.

Unfortunately, most of the bourbons I really "know" don't come in 50ml bottles.

Here's a list of my favorite 3-S bourbons (Soft/Simple/Sweet) available in MI:

Weller Special Reserve (I'm not crazy about the Antique 107)
Rebel Yell (don't let the name fool you)
Evan Williams...

Takin' it off list. PM Sent.

They're all good. Don't get vintage envy!

I'd take ANY year of Stagg over any other barrel proof bourbon, and I really, really like all of the barrel proof bourbons.

Tell me about it!

No shame in starting with MM. Keep about a shot from that bottle...once you get into more bourbons, you'll want to revisit MM to see what your "baseline" used to be. I enjoy it, but I enjoy many...

Welcome to the site. I still live in Lansing.

If you have a good store nearby, I'd second Buffalo Trace and I'd also suggest Elijah Craig 12 Year Old. Both are within 5 bucks of each other. ...

Welcome, welcome.

Welcome, Johnny!

I, too, really like the OC 12 and 10. Have you tried the new "Charter 101?" It is a very similar profile to OC10

As for re-barreling, you'll find several of us have attempted...

Yeah, well, at least she was cute. I think the waitress was just listing everything brown behind the bar.

Not to worry. When I ask a waitress here in MI, "What Bourbons do you have?," I usually get the answer, "we got Jack, Crown, Johnnie Walker, Beam, and Capt. Morgan's." I just smile and nod. Then...

Damn...I hate it when that happens. Then again, it almost always happens!

:bowdown:

No prob, boss.

Speaking of which, maybe I should mosey down to your place to help drink some of your 2008 Stagg!
:drink:

Correction: He said he preferred rye-recipe to wheaters, not that he didn't like wheaters.

I suggest these two:

Welcome, Steven. Glad you found your way here.

There are so many whiskey options north of the TN border...while TN has 5 or 6 iterations of two labels, Kentucky has hundreds of labels, usually...
