Bourbon recommendations - north of $50 a bottle?
Comments
-
Somebody mentioned Blantons, which is great. I also like Col EH Taylor single barrel and a wild card is Breckenridge.

Basil Hayden's is the bitch ass version of old grand dad bib.
(I just don't think 80 proof is legit for bourbons)
I like the high rye mashbills
Four roses single barrel is usually pretty good as is any of the wild turkey offerings.
My go to bourbon is the turkey. Btw
Generally the tough thing about the higher prices bourbons is that either they are aged a long time which can be hit or miss depending on if it gets too oaky and out of balance, or they are cask strength level of lower priced ones which can be worth it to you or not. -

It was pushing 80 today and once it gets hot I like the gin cocktails. Hard to beat a strong as fuck Tom Collins.
Not a fan of tonic.

A couple pretty good bourbons are Redemption, Hudson Baby Bourbon and Barterhouse (20 year). Redemption is around $30, the others may be a bit more expensive.

Actually if you can still get it I would check out the old Forester 1920. Since it's limited edition and supposedly pretty damn good it would be worth grabbing for a more special one.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. -
All Canadian whiskey is blended. HTH.Tequilla said:

Scotch, rye, bourbon, blended, etc. all whiskys. but not all whiskys are bourbon.
I bet you refer to all red wines as cabs too.
You should flag yourself for drinking anything that is called "blended" -
Gin martinis or GTFO. Vodka martinis are gayer than Christmas. Junipero which is made by anchor steam in SFO is outstanding.Mosster47 said:The lack of Gin in this thread shows you guys have no class.
