2015 Summer Bourbon/Scotch/whiskey thread

[Zeebart21]

Because someone posted in the beer thread. Has anyone tasted this bourbon? I had it Thursday evening and I was not overly impressed. It had Scotch finish in my opinion, just curious if anyone else thought the same thing.

Have not had it Craig!

Ok everyone it is still summer and I still love bourbon.
I picked this up today and had my first taste of it tonight. Very different than anything I have ever tasted. Before I give my opinion of the bourbon, has anyone tried this before?

I may have to start doing a bourbon a day until football season. As to the bottle above has a very smokey flavor to it. I love it because I have bad sinus and this taste really comes out in the bourbon. I also love the chipotle flavored Cholula hot sauce for the same reason.

You posted the first review 2 days ago. So you should be finished with the whisky right?

I went to Houston and Dallas last week. I picked up over 20 new bourbons. I also have some new ones coming in the mail early next week. We might be here a while.

Picked up a few Texas whiskeys?

I tried one of the Garrison Brothers whiskeys around the Christmas holidays. Good stuff.

I did I picked up the full set of Balcones, Red River Single Barrel and Red River Canadian blend and others. I am not really sure what the others ones are off the top of my head. I did pick up 5 different bottles of Booker's, the 2013-07, 2014-06, 2014-07, 2015-01, 2015-02, each one has it's own unique flavor and all are barrel proof ranging from 126 to 134 proof. Another one I picked up is "Bib & Tucker" that is pictured below. Very smooth for their first batch.

Are you on Facebook, if so you can read some of the reviews their, https://www.facebook.com/LafayetteBourbon?fref=ts. We are in the process of setting up our own website. The reviews are written by myself and my boss. We are hoping to get others to start meeting once a month in Lafayette with a dinner once a year. I have a friend who is a private chef and will create meals that go well with bourbon and the wives/girlfriends will be invited.

Will do, I have gone a little crazy with my bourbon lately. I really love the Balcones Brimstone, but I also realize it will not be for everyone. I poured 2 fingers of it last night and sipped on it for almost two hours. To me it was the long smokey finish that I really enjoyed.

I've been nursing a single bottle of Crown Royal Black all Summer long.
