Bourbon (and whisky) in Las Vegas

[jburlowski]

I'm actually in Vegas now and would like to know too. ORVW15/107 is still my favorite.

Any place to go hunting as well that you won't mind sharing?

Also try Craftsteak at the MGM.

Looks like the $1 video poker bar has the good stuff. I was at one in Ballagio that has some VWRR and AH Hirsch. I sampled the AH Hirsch neat first then with some ice. Not the best bourbon to my taste at all. Sadly I think to my taste it's where I place the ORV10/107. The nose is nice but quite light and the taste and follow through had some hot bite to it. I'm not sure if I'm tasting the stainless steel but there is a bite that is not pleasant to me. I would rather drink any of my other bottles at home. Luckily I only have one bunkered up. Not surprisingly it is the gold foil that I sampled and bunkered up.

On the other hand, I had a chance to drink some Louis XIII at my uncle's house. I had transition away from cognac to bourbon. However, the Louis XIII was just amazing. It was so much more refine and smooth with no harsh burn or disturbing smell. When I was in Alaska two years ago, I should have picked up a bottle since I saw them on sale for $900.

In Vegas, I also went to a Lee's Liquor liquadator and they had a bottle of PVW15 and a huge slew of turkey with the RR, AS, etc. I didn't get anything there except a Tequila for the bachelor.

Cheers
