ready


go

love me some Single Barrel...

So far...Evan Willams is at the top of my list, followed by the Eagle Rare

might have to try some of this...Four Roses Barrel Strength Single Barrel, which clocks in at an impressive 62%

for cheap shit, i like Jim Beam black or really cheap.. Jim Beam white.

Jim Beam Black is awesome. Haven't had a lot of single barrel bourbon.

I don't like bourbon...well, ok, I haven't had bourbon that I like

I like a nice Irish Whiskey...like the kind I was carrying around at Alpine

and for you cheap folks, Vanilla flavored alcohol infused whipped cream will do...but only enough cans to compensate for the price of one nice bottle of whiskey.

Enough said.

the single barrel stuff is suppose to be the better stuff...ie it typically sits around in the barrel longer and also gets the prime spots in the ageing house....allowing it to soak up more flavor.

Bourbon talk is soothing
Yeah the aged stuff is better...
Shall we try a monthly taste test... Everybody get a new bottle and we sip and talk?

Bourbon is a type of American whiskey – a barrel-aged distilled spirit made primarily from corn. The name of the spirit derives from its historical association with an area known as Old Bourbon, around what is now Bourbon County, Kentucky (which, in turn, was named after the French House of Bourbon royal family). It has been produced since the 18th century.[1] While it may be made anywhere in the United States, it is strongly associated with Kentucky specifically, and the American South in general.

riiiiiiiiight. And what does Scotch have to do with Kentucky Bourbon? Wouldn't the grain used be the detrmining factor? Also does aging the scotch occur in a charred oak barrel?
