Well not to tell which bourbon to drink, but try Buffalo Trace and/or Blanton's. IMO Blanton's is the finest bourbon. A bit spendy, but I have 2 glasses of Blanton's on the rocks then switch to Buffalo Trace. I can talk bourbon all day long.

Had Blantons a few weeks ago. Hammer58 brought a bottle over for cigar night. Most excellent

I'm bi curious about scotch but would like small lesson first. I'm a gin/vodka with a splash guy but my neighbor is hardcore scotch and cigars.
I have a somewhat bitter pallet and dig on bold with a smooth finish which of the whiskey family should I court first?

I will give that a try, it does so good.

Don't muddle the mint. Just swish it around and leave it in the glass. The aroma of the mint mixed with the bourbon is very nice. Not a winter drink though.

In the Winter it's bourbon over ice or with a little water. My other winter time drink is Kelt Tour Du Monde VSOP cognac. Smoooooooth very smooooth.

Try Highland Park first - they have a 12, 15, and 17 yr - the 15 yr is my fav scotch !

Just tried CrownRoyal Black, was pretty solid. I really like Gentleman Jack but not the Single Barrel which actually costs more.

Macallan aged in the port casks is awesomeness.58 bucks a bottle is a bit steep.I guess its percieved value. right??

Just remember that Jack Daniels is not bourbon because it is made in Tennessee. Jack Daniels is a Tennessee sipping whiskey. Only whiskey made in 6 (I think) counties in Kentucky can legally be called a bourbon.

Makers is perfect for old fashioneds and juleps.

Knob Creek is also excellent and one no one has mentioned yet.

If im mixing with coke I stick with Jack. I am an official Tennessee Squire.
