Welcome Josh, from a state over. I get to Denver pretty regularly, great city, and a pretty good place to be a bourbon drinker.


Take wripvanwrinkle up on this, he's good company. :toast:

Welcome, Jon, although it seems a little strange saying that after having talked to you in chat a few times. Glad to see that you made an intro post though.

Cheers!

Welcome! Lots of members have links to their blogs in their signatures; not many, if any, link to individual posts. I recommend participating in the forum until you're familiar with the lay of the...

Yeah, that's the white label BIB.

Welcome! Been good talking to you in chat.

I'm in Salt Lake City. I'm in northern Utah pretty regularly so I was wondering how close to the border you are... But it sounds like you're about as far from it as you can be! If you ever make it...

Welcome Matt! Where in Idaho?

Perhaps...

I don't know that anyone has heard for sure that RR10 is...

Wild Turkey Rare Breed would be a logical place to go from RR10. Also, beware... The fate of those bottles is in jeopardy.

Old Weller Antique and Weller 12, although not the same flavors as your favorites, you've really covered a pretty broad range and those are the most notable exceptions I see.

Welcome! There's some great bourbon drinkers in Denver, hopefully you'll get a chance to get together with them (and me too, when I'm out there!) Great bourbon selection available to you, what are...

'Bout time you got here, Pete! Welcome!

Welcome! Sounds like you've already got some pretty good company to drink with.

Welcome! You should join the chat sometime, Sunday nights have been the busiest lately. I think you'd find some good conversation about the sorts of things you've been posting about over the last...

Welcome Matt! Love that Deadhead flask in your avatar. Like Paul said, come join us in chat sometime. Cheers!

The Lawrenceburg bottle is from before 2002, which is when the Van Winkles entered into their current arrangement with Sazerac and moved to Frankfort. That bottle likely contains S-W juice.

I've had a couple pours of Kirkland tonight (thanks Charlie, in an indirect way) - one of which was accompanied by a pour of Knob Creek. I think this is very good. My impressions of it compared to...

Matter of preference. KC is 100 proof so if you added 1/5 water and then poured it over ice it'd be the same starting proof as Crown. But of course the melting ice adds more water. Some folks use...

Cool! Try it without the Coke, maybe with some water, over ice, see how that grabs you... Probably worth trying your Crown on its own too, I find it to be very sipable.

When I first started...

Its mashbill (recipe) meets the standards for bourbon, as does its aging in new charred oak for 4+ years. The Lincoln County Process is the biggest difference between Jack/George and the KSBW...

In that case... There are plenty of good lists around of where to start, but I recommend you find yourself a bottle of Weller bourbon. If you get the 107 proof expression, you may want to cut it to a...

Welcome!

Maybe try some Evan Williams with Coke in place of Crown, it's a great value and I prefer it to Crown anyway... It'd save a few bucks that can go toward stocking that bar!

What...

Welcome, Josh... Nothing wrong with Scotch in my opinion! Hope you were successful finding the Stagg and Weller this year if you were after them.
