You know how I know you're a fag?Tequilla said:... I usually lump all versions of whiskey together ...
Scotch, rye, bourbon, blended, etc. all whiskys. but not all whiskys are bourbon.
I bet you refer to all red wines as cabs too. -
Can you recommend to me a bourbon that drinks like a rye?BennyBeaver said:

My daughter bought me this for Christmas. It is delicious.YellowSnow said:Do any of your bourbon sippin’ doogs have much experience with the real high end stuff, say, north of $50 a bottle? I have my go to labels in the every-day drinking bourbon segment- e.g., Eagle Rare 10 yr old, Elijah Craig (used to be 12 yr old), Buffalo Trace, Evan Williams Single Barrel, etc – but would love to hear any recommendations for any high end bourbons that you guys are in to.
Blanton’s is usually what I buy in the $60 price point but would like to branch out. Pappy is the holy grail, but not achievable unless you have a connection. Elmer T Lee at $40 - $45 is the poor man’s Blanton’s but I just can’t see to find is these days in Seattle.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
And fuck you for knowing why I was flagged in advance.

Crown isn't Bourbon, Did they teach you nothing at Butler Cabin?Tequilla said:I'm assuming you mean for a 750 mL bottle?
Buffalo Trace and Crown are my 2 go-to bourbons.
Bulleit and Knob Creek are quite good as well.
Woodford is usually pretty good ... there are some more rare versions of that that can go up a bit in price point that are also quite smooth. -
I like Makers, Bullit, 4 Roses, Blantons. I'm not picky enough to go beyond these on my own dime.
If you are ever in Louisville, go to the historic Seelbach Hilton. The bar has an extensive selection of specialty bourbons.*
Burnside from Portland is pretty dang good. Has some vanilla notes.
I haven't had any decent bourbons from WA state yet. Not that I'm trying but people keep buying that shit for me.

*PSA: It's cheaper to drink at home. -

You should flag yourself for drinking anything that is called "blended" -
