I haven't had that one but I have tried the Garrison Brothers Texas whiskey. Pretty good.

I have not, but I have heard some good things about it. I did have Texas 1835 Whiskey this weekend. Not the best, but I was able to drink it for a couple of hours.

This is the funniest thing I have read today!

Ok picked up a bottle of Bulleit Rye for Manhattans. I must say that I have mis-judged Rye whiskeys over the years. I did not know that Basil Hayden's had rye in their mix. I am starting to broaden my horizons when it comes to bourbons.

Also Albertons has the Bulliet Rye and Bulliet Bourbon for $9 off, Basil Hayden's was $5 off. Lots of specials going on at Albertons and the store on Ambassador Caffery has a very nice selections of high/mid bourbons.

I prefer rye in my old fashioned's.....I just finished off a bottle of Sazerac Rye last night.

That is on my list to get next. How is it on the rocks?

I've been obsessed with making old fashioneds every which way I can think of the last few weeks, and have mixed in some Sazerac Cocktails to mix it up....so the whole bottle was used in cocktails. I honestly don't know how it is on the rocks. I guess I need to get another bottle to find out!

Good to know about the specials at Albertson's. Bulliet may be my whiskey of choice for the 4th of July weekend. And glad you took my suggestion on putting rye in the Manhattan.

Thanks for the info. Also if you find a recipe that you like and wouldn't mind sharing it, I would appreciate it very much. I am just starting to mix drinks with bourbon and as I said earlier trying to expand my horizons.

Thanks again!
