Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bigborehound:
When the EH Taylor is available, the Small Batch is $36 and the Single is $69. Weller is pretty much all lottery here anymore. Weller12 can be found on dusty shelves in rural stores, but that's it. I've seen SR in quantity locally, but I'm not a fan. I'll buy a fifth of antique, but it's still second to 12yr. |

Anybody make Kentucky coffee? Irish coffee but using the vastly superior bourbon in place of Irish whiskey.
I made it once but it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. May have been my “recipe.” |

I had already been planning a drive to Knob Creek, But also they delayed the Kentucky Bourbon Festival to the following weekend, the 15-18th of October. I'm thinking about staying the whole week after. And since there is a Caesar's casino across the river from Louisville in Indiana....

Really starting to like Old Grand Dad 114, and since it's under 20 bucks, it's a steal.
My absolute favorite is Garrison Bros bourbon made in Hye TX.  .Other regulars are Woodford reserve double oaked and Wild Turkey Longbranch. Favorite rye is Whistlepig Piggyback 6yo |

I happen to like it just fine. It's not very complex but is smooth as silk. My wife said it tastes like dirt.

So in a bunch of reviews I was seeing that the EW BiB was regarded as equal or better than the EW SB...
Bull.. that is a big hunk of poop. I just did a compare and contrast.. the Single Barrel blows it out of the water... in smell, flavor, and even mouth feel!  Attached File Attached FileAnd as always YMMV. Its all about personal pref.. and i prefer EW single barrel! |

Might have been the fact that I was on my third tasting tour of the day.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By triburst1: Not bourbon. technically is a bourbon, and huge amounts of dickel are sold every year as bourbon. Old Scout, Barrell Bourbon, OKI Bourbon, and several other very prominent bourbons are all produced at Dickel. Legally all tennessee whiskies can be called bourbon with zero changes made to any part of their process, and the companies that produce it choose to use the words bourbon or TN Whiskey depending on what seems like it would sell better in that scenario. |

Stopped by my local privately owned liquor store yesterday. Eagle Rare: $69.99, Buffalo Trace: $39.99, Henry Mckenna 10 year: $79.99. I always see guy saying they're getting Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare for around $30 a bottle. I did pick up the Buffalo Trace because I can never find it. Hadn't had it in a while but I was quickly reminded I enjoy it. I also picked up a bottle of Old Forester 86 proof for around $25, I'd never tried it but it was pretty decent and I'll probably buy it again.

ABC Liquors is the big chain around here, they get Buffalo Trace in small quantities but it's usually sold out before they even unload it off the truck. It usually runs closer to $30 when they have it. I don't think It's $40 good either but I figured I better get it while I had the opportunity. Eagle Rare is basically unobtanium around here. That was the first time I'd even seen an actual bottle. |

Nope, the Lincoln process has been determined to in no way disqualify tennesee whiskey from being bourbon. That's how you get products like this https://thebourbonculture.com/whiskey-reviews/smooth-ambler-old-scout-single-barrel-select-review/ this https://whiskeyjar.blog/2018/06/25/barrell-bourbon-single-barrel/ or this https://www.breakingbourbon.com/single-barrel-club/sbc-9-not-your-typical-dickel-thats-what-she-said all sourced direct from dickel with lincoln process filtering and still labeled as straight bourbon whiskey. Legally tenessee whiskey is bourbon, and outside of the US is sold as such because it has better recognition. In the US, it just depends on how they want to market it. |
