We would love to a picture of it!:cool:

The second bottle of bourbon I owned, not including many bottles of Jim Beam White in my early years, was a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 20. I was thinking the same thing as you. However, I have been...

Just kidding. This is a great place. I have learned much and have been treated exceptionally well.

Welcome.

Welcome. My bourbon journey began last August with a tour at Buffalo Trace, with Freddy. Nothing has been the same since. Look forward to your future posts. Don't be shy, everybody here as been where...

Funny things is, he 'crashed' my picture. I asked a buddy to take a picture of me and my brother in law, and Don literally shoved his way into the shot.

Don was nursing a can of PBR, pouring it into what looked like about a 4 oz. glass. He probably wanted me to buy him a drink, but he was not my type.:lol:



Jono, love your signature!!

Appearantly Vodka makes you a surly s.o.b. Keep it away from me.

I did make it to Delilahs. The tastings that I did were fun, but the overall experience was a dissapointment. This was mostly due to the bartender there. He was very impersonal. I tried to engage him...

Thanks Ethan. Great advice. Just what I was looking for.

That's interesting that the mini had cork. I haven't seen that yet. The cap seems to be the hardest thing for the producers to replicate. I see a lot of bottles that look just like the 750ml except...

I assume it's the same contents of the regular bottles, but is there anything inherent about them that they would not be a reliable sample of the whiskey? If I like or dislike something from a mini,...

I am planning on going there tomorrow night. 600+ Whiskies. For those who have been, any suggestions on enjoying my visit? Has anyone tried their new house bourbon?

Thanks:cool:

I checked Binny's friday night and it was $49.00. I wanted to buy it because it is BOTM, but nobody has posted a compelling reason to shell out that kind of dough. I went with ETL instead.

T,
Funny I had both Weller 12 and ETL in my hands tonight at the liquor store. I just got the ETL for now and I am enjoying it very much.

I don't care for JD or Gentlemans Jack, but I really like JD Single Barrel. I really need to try Dickel.

Legal requirements

On 4 May 1964, the U.S. Congress recognized Bourbon Whiskey as a “distinctive product of the United States," creating the Federal Standards of Identity for Bourbon. Federal...

How is the economy going to get better unless we spend our hard earned money on wonderful American products, like bourbon? I'm doing my part.

Welcome bunk.

My original question for this thread is... what is the point of Jim Beam Black when I can get Knob Creek at the same price. When I started this thread I had only shopped for bourbon at Binny's in the...

Thanks for the correcting me, I screwed that up pretty good. Although, wouldn't you say that WT101 has a higher rye profile than BT or KC? Seems that way to me.

Welcome. You have received a lot of good advice already, particularly with regard to the wheat vs. rye issue. I have several bourbons now, and these days, instead of deciding which brand to have, I...

Well said Funk. Aficianado has the most appropriate definition, but as Kickert point out, it has an air of snobbery.

Since I started this thread, I have used enthusiast more often than anything...

Welcome.

You'll fit in here just fine. Similar to you, I was transformed from a casual bourbon drinker to a bourbon enthusiast after I visited the distilleries last August.

I guess I should answer my own question. Right now there are four bourbons I re-purchase automatically, my team.

Buffalo Trace
Weller antique
Knob Creek
Rittenhouse Rye

Of course, I am...

I guess some bourbon lovers find it hard to wrap their mind around the idea of "One bottle". It's too painful I guess.

My Answer: Booker's

Welcome aboard!!!

Like most new bourbon enthusiasts, I am always conducting ‘tryouts’ for my bourbon team. Some bourbons are replaced immediately when finished, and others finished and not purchased again, not right...
