EarthQuake Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 You're stranded on desert island with a crate full of a single type of bourbon. Whats in the bottle? I haven't had the chance to try many of what would be considered legendary bottles, so I'll go with one of my favorites: Orphan Barrel Barterhouse.

Clueby Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 OWA. I can always find something to like about a pour of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshleffar Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 If i was having one big pour and that was it forever, Im taking BTAC weller, but for an every day drink by myself, on the deserted isalnd, in the hammock I strung together with palm fronds and a nice breeze? I like Clueby's call with the OWA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Old Grandad 114 . . . Elmer T. Lee . . . Knob Creek 120 Single Barrel . . . Old Weller Antique . . . Ummmmm . . . Old Weller Antique, but my case is all 1.75L bottles. You didn't specify what size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Wow! That would be a tough choice for me. I'm certain I'd have to mix a case. Here's what I'd include: WT 101, a particular store pick of KC SB 120, OGD114, a particular store pick of Buffalo Trace: 3-each. And, if I could pick a few more I'd include 3-each of the GBS picks if RRSBSB, and GBS picks of both Four Roses SB's. Jeeeeeez, I guess that doesn't even get 'em all. I'm bad at this! I guess that's why I have about 60 open bottles all the time. Can't decide very far in advance what I'll want. I LIKE CHOICES!!!! Back to the one-and-only idea: that store pick of BT, I guess.

Swamp55 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Tough question! (The desert island bourbon, that is, not Ginger or MaryAnne -- MaryAnne for sure!) After pondering the question for a minute, I think I'd go with Blanton's. It's not my favorite bourbon at any given moment, but I always enjoy it, no matter what mood I'm in, what I'm eating, what the weather is like, etc. It never disappoints me, so I think it would be a good pick for me as my one and only.

But, get the hell off my island! My bourbon will have to be any year of George T. Stagg. 2004, if pressed. There's just so much you can do with Stagg from consumption, to medicinal, to fuel, to anticeptic, to...a 101 uses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were stranded on a desert isle, I probably wouldn't be too upset if any bourbon were available. However, if I were to find a bottle and Jeannie were in it and granted me 3 wishes, I am certain bourbon would be my 3rd wish. I would then wish for a pallet of Blanton's or Knob Creek Single Barrel to soothe my palate on those tropical evenings spent with Jeannie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postal Grunt Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Can we have a dishwasher for clean glasses and possibly an ice maker? You know, just for those days like today when the heat index around here was flirting with 106F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinbrink Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Would I be able to take Rum as well or only bourbon?!?!?!?!?!? I think I'm taking Bookers if I can take some rum too, if not I might go with a case of AE Finished Rye to kind of cover both and neither at the same time Edited July 12, 2017 by kevinbrink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Mine would without a doubt be the 2007 WLW. If there was somehow a doubt, my second choice would probably be OWA. Once a Weller whore, always a Weller whore. Cheers! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDN98 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I will keep it simple and realistic. A case of 1.75 L Weller 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
