Your favorite Bourbon

7nohitter · 07-20-2018, 08:43 PM

Hey Everyone,

I know there is a scotch thread, but wanted to know your go-to bourbon in this thread.

Currently, I enjoy Four Roses....and I'm talking the standard yellow label. I've also had the single barrel version, but the basic "4R" is my favorite....and for under $20 I don't know that it can be beat.

Will love to hear suggestions as well as your favorite....

Pappy 20

calculusdork · 07-20-2018, 09:59 PM

Yep, Elijah Craig is good, about to have some now

pskell02 · 07-20-2018, 10:20 PM

Pappy 10 or 12 is my go to. Blantons single barrel is also great (same distillery as Pappy). On a budget or daily drinking its Woodford.

Throw an once and a half of Woodford, Amaro, and Aperol in a shaker with juice from a half a lemon and you’ve got a great Paper Plane.

Good for you making Pappy 10 or 12 your go to. I can't find it here in AZ. Had no problem in NY.

As for the Paper Plane I'm going to have to try that. Does the lemon knock down the sweetness of the Amaro & Aperol? 3/4 per or what's your ratio?

For every day, Buffalo Trace. Something special, Blantons.

jdin8455 · 07-21-2018, 05:39 AM

My favorite is Knob Creek. Second is Buffalo Trace. I'm only in the mood for whiskey in autumn & winter though.

deansayso · 07-21-2018, 07:48 AM

Not a big bourbon fan but when I do buy some it's makers mark

Whodatiz · 07-21-2018, 10:45 AM

Maker’s 46.

moose84 · 07-21-2018, 02:28 PM

Mmm bourbon....

A few good ones already mentioned that I enjoy, Knob Creek, Woodford Reserve, and Angels Envy

One that hasnt been mentioned that's also good is Basil Haydens

7nohitter · 07-21-2018, 02:32 PM

Appreciate the replies...will definitely try some of the ones mentioned.

rudyjustinfarrell · 07-21-2018, 03:04 PM

When I travel I look for "local" stuff.

Here is one of my current faves:

Smooth Ambler Old Scout Single Barrel Bourbon

Can’t be beat for $25.

Jazzer540 · 07-22-2018, 10:13 PM

I am a huge bourbon guy...

Top Solid-Decent priced are:
Woodford, Knob Creek, Templeton Rye (one of my favorites)

Clyde Mays is also pretty tasty for the price

Blantons is wonderful but for how much I drink Bourbon-it is dangerous to buy for that price

TR isn't bourbon though...

And the original recipe is still bootlegged around Carroll. It's much better than the commercial stuff but it's hard to get

Technically, but still counts!

Is Bookers any good? I never had it but heard it was. Wondering if anyone here has any feedback.
