Coming down from "Whiskey Snobbery"

[unclebunk]

Currently enjoying some Dickel No. 12, washed-down with a glass of the Weis grocery store brand White Birch Beer (a North-Central Pennsylvania favorite!). Simple, honest, and tasty! Possibly following this up with some Evan Williams 1783 that I recently picked-up from out-of-state (it's great to have friends in Delaware!)

Next time, I will likely pick up a 1.75L bottle of Henry McKenna. I am currently seeking out the best of the "bargain" bourbon brands (McAfee Benchmark No. 8 is my current favorite of that category), and would love to give that one a spin.

It's good to hear the perspectives of fellows who have been drinking bourbon far longer than I on this matter. Keep them coming!

Not to hijack the thread, but I LOVE that Weis White Birch Beer! The only one I like more is Kutztown. Have you tried that one? The PA birch beers have spoiled me for most root beers.

Why don't you guys start a root beer thread? I'd be very interested to hear about regional favorites, especially the PA ones I don't know about. That White Birch sure sounds good!

That would be a fun thread. Sure wish I could get Goose Island Root Beer in WI!

digging the hell out of JTS Brown BIB for months now and that's quickly becoming a "go to" under $20 bourbon for me.

Hmmm ... I've had a bottle of JTS Brown BIB on the bourbon bar for a while, un-cracked ... your post has made me happy that I picked it up and has given me motivation to crack it open ... Thanks!
