Welcome aboard Pete, the more MI people the better!

Welcome aboard Joe and good to see another Mitten man join.
MI has got a good size number of members here on SB.com.
A basement bar sounds great.
As far as what to stock it with, my regular pours...

Pick up a Four Roses Single Barrel and if you can find it an Old Rip Van Winkle 10yo 107prf, if not get an Old Weller Antique 107 and Wild Turkey Rare Breed is very good too.

Booker's and EC12, yep that's how it begins, welcome aboard and see ya 'round the block.

Yep, the current Eagle Rare Single Barrel is flat and one dimensional, but when a bourbon virgin asks me what would be a good bourbon to start out on I always suggest Eagle Rare Single Barrel.
It is...

The Tom Moore in Bardstown, but I don't think they call it Tom Moore anymore.
The Buffalo Trace owner Sazerac bought them and changed the name to Tom Moore and then back again.
There best known...

You mean like this? I use a photo host website.
Ah yes, Baby Stagg, in the pic Lawrenceburg on the left and a 1 liter New Orleans on the right.
Eagle Rare 101 is George T Stagg cut to 101 proof....

Jim Rutledge has been lobbying Kirin to up the proof to 90 or at least 86.
Bars tend to stock 80 proofers over higher proofs for both profit and not to get the customers to intoxicated.

The Van Winkle rye is bourbonesque. Like the post before this one said, "...a very elegant whiskey".

Ay-up Simon.
Good intro and good favorites, welcome aboard

Welcome aboard Charles, you don't have to ba a rocket scientist to describe what you like.
Everyone's palate is different and everyone's taste memory and flavor comparison is too.

btw, I see on...

Good goin' Dan, well you found the right right place.
This is the College Of Bourbon Knowledge.

For a person just getting into bourbon I must say you have done well with your choices.

When did M46 (not MM46) come out?

I got two bottles when it did and this thread reminded me that I still have one.
So I opened it up today and am sipping on some neat, yes that's right, I have...

For a ryed bourbon I'd suggest Four Roses Single Barrel.
And to really taste a great ryed bourbon call Binny's and get their private selection of Four Roses Barrel Strength OBSK recipe.
Also you...

I would say Pappy 15yo is drier than ORVW.
The Old Rip can be toffee/caramel like, however I got one recently that wasn't good at all, maybe that release is what you were referring to.

As a matter of fact last week Mr Rutledge told us that he has been lobbying Kirin to go 90prf on the Yellow label or at least 86prf.

On the bottom on the bottle there are usally four numbers/letters/symbols and they are again usally set apart like in a four corner pattern.
One of those number will for example say 06 that would be...

Ditto, welcome aboard Matt.

Was that you? I thought it was Iggy.
Welcome aboard!

If it says distilled in Louisville then get then all, S-W bourbon.
If it says distilled in Frankfort you may as well get a few and asked others here what years are best.
It seems some were very...

Dude welcome aboard and you are good to go, post away, how's that Costco?

Oh, btw, keep those good weather reports to yourself, we had snow here in MI yesterday.

Welcome aboard and it looks like you are in a hot bed area for good "dusties".
Hey Reid, Howie and Greg it looks like we got another that has crossed over to the Dark Side in your area.

Welcome aboard Josh.
And also, what squire said!

If you are looking for low priced bourbons go with Evan Williams (on the rocks) and WLWeller Special Reserve (neat).
