Bourbon & Rye

Bit of a sherry kick this week it seems. This is some fine tasty stuff. There is an entire series of wine and other finishes, which include a madeira, merlo, cab sav, cognac, chardonnay and port. I would like to track down a madeira one to try. Anyone had any of the others? If you are more of a single malt guy, this may be up your alley. Lots going on in the glass.

I have questions. What the hell are the smoking? The malt? The corn? The rye? The finished distillate (not sure if they can do that can call it bourbon, but maybe)?

Odds that this is better than High West Campfire? Low.

These gimmicks are cracking me up of late. Though @August_West assures me the french fry ones were not that bad.

I mean I want to say best booze ever because, you know, arbys. But it wasn’t. But it wasn’t terrible . I used for bloodies with bacon and a lot of horseradish . It worked well

Blanton's is under 100 proof, so maybe seek out some other bourbons that have some age at about that proof. The 9 year Knob Creek (especially any Single Barrels) might be a good one. Blanton's and Eagle Rare are too hard to find now. Too much demand and allocated. My favorite mid proof bourbon right now is probably Four Roses Small Batch Select. Highly recommend it.

Love the Four Roses Small Batch and Single Barrels.

Great booze at that price point. Easy sipping without being boring.

Most reliable bourbon along with Knob Creek single barrel and wild turkey stuff like rare breed. Small Batch Select is really good stuff.
 
Was kind of surprised but I went into a local store and was able to just buy Eagle Rare on the shelf. It was $50 instead of the $36 I used to pay.

Was recently gifted a bottle of this. Haven't popped it open yet, but it looks promising.

Weird review from that guy (not many have had licorice?), but it sounds like it should be pretty decent. 4+ years in full sized barrels is usually going to get over that hurdle.

It's not going to be bad. If you want bad, get some Balcones Rye. Good Lord, I thought the Mad River bourbon was bad. I mix the Balcones Rye with red wine to make it drinkable. It would probably take the rust off my iron railings on the front steps.

My favorite under $30 (NC price) bourbon in 1792 small batch, just tasty. I also enjoy Eagle Rare, Four Roses single barrel, Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Makers Mark Cask strength and Michters small batch. Nothing really surprising here.

Bourbon is pretty much the only alcohol I drink now, enjoy it neat and often. Lol.

Just tried some wild turkey “Kentucky spirit” and tasted it up against Blantons and two different maker’s limited and I liked it the best of the bunch.

Also bought the Barrell batch 31 and it’s great, thanks to all the Barrell heads

I will have to check that out. Blantons is my favorite for now but I can only get it in selected bars in Central FL.

Anyone ever taste this? It's among bottles of a new dog client. Never saw nor heard of "aged at sea".

The aging at sea is utter nonsense. It’s overpriced but still is pretty good.

+1 on this feedback. I've had it once or twice. Neat bottle to have on hand to start a conversation. It's plenty to good to serve to friends neat or on the rocks.

I've been out at sea across the pond a few times. I don't ever remember being out there staring at the ocean blue in all directions, taking a deep breath and thinking, yeah, this will make for a better bourbon.

It's really quite rich and flavorful. Probably best with an ice cube or bit of water. There's a lot going on, so I need to give it another go.

Yes most likely purely marketing - they maintain that the wave motion allow more whiskey to come in contact with the barrel. Fun to read where the ship went.

That said, I just bought the Jefferson Ocean wheated bourbon (new release) which I've been sipping on and really enoying!
 
Sorry, didn't know (duh) there was a bourbon thread, been enjoying the scotch thread since it started!

Anyone try the Weller Antique 107? I just overspent for a bottle but I probably won't open until Christmas so appreciate any tasting thoughts.
 
Just picked up a bottle of Barrel Seagrass on sale for $69. I like the Dovetail a bit better, but at that price it made sense to pick up a bottle for when I finish my current one.

Some people absolutely love it. I don‘t, comes across as a cinnamon bomb to me. I’ve had the regular and a few store picks. But I know others who have it as their favorite bourbon. Hopefully you like it but don’t crave it, because the taters made it too hard to get now.
 
This should be a good one
