    Going to a cool restaurant next week. Here's their bourbon/whiskey list:

    http://villagewhiskey.com/pdf/vw_menu_whiskey.pdf

    Think I need to try the Four Roses Single Barrel Garces Selection (half pour...)

    Almost finished a plain old Four Roses Bourbon at home.

    Does everyone drink bourbon on the rocks??? I do, even though I drink Scotch & Irish neat, usually with a splash of water.

    ouch....those are some steep prices....

    as for drinking

    i typically toss 3 ice cubes in a glass and pour to just cover them.

    Got a gift card at least. Is it reasonable to think they would charge half of those prices for a one-ounce "sample?" 2 ounces of whiskey is kind of a lot for me, honestly.

    Yeah that's how I take it too.

    I'm on a red meat hiatus in preparation. :lol:

    Anybody drink rye? Or is that impermissible in this thread? I haven't had too much of it.

    Woodford Reserve
    Nashville-00

    Forecastle Festival had a great Bourbon Lodge in which you could sample 4 different bourbons. I tasted them all images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSbuoq_Y_7dKIQ_K8XdqbU1ruugPPB3ReAWNkEPikrHiN6gCcLToeZ3mwEK multiple times

    Woodford is by far the best followed by Four Roses. And if you come this way, you definitely have to hit the Bourbon Trail. And any decent bourbon has to be from Kentucky otherwise it's just whiskey (so says the girl from KY :P )
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    Knob Creek is a little too sharp for my taste buds. not bad, but not great. defiantly a step up over your middle shelf selections.

    ok, I was at the beverage store, was looking at the selection and I hesitated, didn't want to make a wrong choice.
