BigRich Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Rich and Gary, I’m right there with you. I don’t think I could even choose just a bourbon...scotch or rum would muck up the decision for me too! I think that the three of us should share many fine whiskeys in April and ruminate on this more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul_cooperstein Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Talk about a boom...if you thought GTS (or even ECBP) hard to get now...just think if it was the last bourbon on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BourbonGuy Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I would say Jefferson Presidential 17 / 18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzhead Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I agree that the question of a favorite bourbon isn't the same as a bourbon for the rest of time, to the exclusion of all others. The latter has to be straight down the middle, always satisfying, and best personifying the flavors I most enjoy in bourbon. And affordable - If I'm going to be drinking Stagg to the end of time, I won't be drinking too much Stagg. It's down to Wild Turkey and Old Forester. Those mean bourbon to me. At the proof and presentation I most enjoy, Kentucky Spirit and OF Statesman. I'm sipping a Kentucky Spirit right now, and conclude I could survive on this stuff, so there's the choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obeezy1Kaneezy Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 It’s a tough choice, & even harder when you delve into a line with more choices... Closest thing I can say is, it would be a Four Roses Single Barrel with an OES in the first three letters. The last letter is a toss up lol. I go back & fourth on which I like more.

NDN98 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Tough decision. I like so many different bourbons from different distilleries, it really just depends on my mood and the occasion which one I am craving. If pressed for an every occasion bourbon that doesn’t vary by batch or individual barrels, I would go with Weller 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grain Belt Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Wild Turkey 12 101 proof. No close 2nd in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMartin42 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Anything at all. With no limiting factors... WLW all day. If price and availability are limiting factors then I think I’d choose standard BT but I’d wrestle with myself over WT101. Two vastly different flavor profiles. So hard to choose.

kevinbrink Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 If I can figure out how to get the rest of the bottles from the Barrel the last Single Cask Nation WT Cask Strength Single Barrel is pretty close to a perfect bourbon for me. If I had to pick something that would actually be on the shelf Booker's but damn would I miss WT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) EC12. I wish I could still suck that stuff down with a straw! I'm lucky I still have a decent amount of it in the bunker, but that was my go to pour 5 or 6 days a week.

cfochs Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Currently it would be OF 1920. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mross Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Good stuff. Thanks for the answers, although some of you are copping out. In this question there are no limits, does not matter if it is available or not, price is also not considered. By the way what is RRSiB? I do not recognize that one.

Not sure who posted a comment (being too lazy to look...HA!) about RRSiB; but, I assume the post refers to Russell's Reserve (Sm. Batch) Single Barrel. At least that's what I think..... (I know.

I believe there was a bourbon nerd decree some moons ago that SiB was single barrel and Sb is Small Batch, it is written in stone now on our ancient 17th century tablets created when Elijah Craig accepted the whiskey gods gift of America's fine elixir, though the same nerds now question the history just because the story may have some historical inaccuracies related to not being entirely factual, in the least, in any way, at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
