Hi Mike- always good to hear about another local hooking up with SB. Sure you will enjoy the wealth of info available on this site. Looking forward to your posts!

Hope to meeting you at Market...

Words to live by.

Welcome aboard. Always good to have a new member from Florida.

Sounds like you have caught the Bourbon Fever. Fun isn't it?

And 2 in Tallahassee. Welcome aboard.

Welcome SFS. Always good to have another Florida member on board.

I recognize you... your were the guy shouting out "Who killed the Kennedys?"

Your right of course - life is too short to spend much time with skanky whiskey. Keep us posted on your explorations.

And welcome from sunny Florida. Stop by on your way to Atlanta:grin:

Seems a Bourbon that impresses me with great mouth feel late in the evening (3rd or 4th pour) doesn't always have that same characteristic when it's the first pour a few days later.

Anyone else...

Agreed on the thick mouth feel as a desirable characteristic. Also curious what part of manufacture accentuates it and why it isn't used much in descriptions by manufacturers.
After doing a recent...

These should keep you busy on Google and yield some juice you won't typically find in Sweden. Since your traveling perhaps some people could chime in with recommended well stocked bars that will let...

Welcome Cigardad - always good to hear from another Floridian. How long have you been in Ocala? Ever make it up here to Tallahassee?

That has been my experience also. Never fails to entertain and is always enjoyable. For me the balance of sweetness and barrel character is spot on. YMMV. Nothing fancy or overly complicated just...

A Manhattan might be an option. The Vermouth should mitigate the dry finish and the drink wouldn't be too sweet.

All the above is good advice. Taking your time and drinking lots of water during comparative tastings is a good idea too. Tasting with a friend is more fun than tasting alone.

Halifax is right to identify a month and year as that is a much more accurate way to zero in on the best bottlings.

I asked Jimmy Russell if they changed the juice when they changed the tops and...

Smooth Dark top with dark Bourbon inside hasn't let me down yet. A 2001 Pewter was not great and the current light top and light juice just tastes young and hot to me.

Welcome to the forum M Pickle. It's good to have someone else from this part of Florida on here. Finding those bottles on a discount table is a sweet find. Your wife will eventually get used to...

Yeah, thats right about the time UD juice gave way to Beam product in the Taylors. It seems like some of the handles may have contained UD juice a year or two longer than the smaller bottles. Also...

Those are great notes!! Sounds like you nailed it. Might want to post them in the tasting section in an existing thread about the particular juice tasted or start a new thread if you can't find a...

Have you guys been to the Brandy Library in Tribeca? It's Bourbon list seems pretty good. The staff was knowledgeable when I was there and it has the huge advantage that you can sample by the drink...

EBay is indeed high compared to original shelf prices - of course it is available on EBay and has been mostly gone from the shelves for the last 10 to 30 years or so. If I totaled my time and my gas...

Welcome to both of you. Sounds like your on the right track with the premiums. In fact, regarding the lower shelves, there are few if any really bad Bourbons on the shelf today, just ones that you...

Welcome aboard. Your off to a great start. Congratulations on the your impending fatherhood.

I'm a big fan of Brits appreciating American products. Originally from Miami Florida I have been...

Thanks for uncloaking ...... great to have you with us. We all look forward to hearing from you.

Since it's throw away money for you compared to Scotch just buy every one you can find and do some comparative sipping. That after all, is the fun of it, isn't it.

Let us know what conclusions...
