harv Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Ok, this is a new one for me. Bought it at SAMS club today......harv 4
BlrwestSiR Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 New one for me too. Let us know what you think of it. 2
harv Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 Its a bit more bite ier. Smooth. Quite a different taste than Makers. I like it though.....harv 2
Barry Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 I had a bottle a few months back and found it to be fairly smooth but agree about the bite! Barry 2 1
BlrwestSiR Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 I've got: - Maker's 46 - 1792 small batch - Eagle Rare I need to finish some of these before I get more. Or my liquor cabinet will look worse than my stash. 1 1
harv Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 Just finished my 64. How's the 1792 ? I think they had that there....harv 2
biggtim Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 You've seriously got to try Elijah Craig, and Buffalo Trace. I also like Larceny, and EH Taylor. 2 1
harv Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 Cool Tim. Have to keep an eye out for those. Anyone hear of Aldi's market ? We have one neer here. The brand name Bourbon was voted one of the best. I have yet to try it....harv 2
biggtim Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Elijah Craig and EH Taylor are both very smooth, Buffalo Trace and Larceny have a bit more bite to them, but not bad. I prefer my bourbon pretty smooth. The Buffalo and Elijah can usually be purchased for under 30 bucks for a 750ml bottle, so those are right in my wheelhouse!! The Larceny is usually around 35, and the Taylor is typically 50-60, so I don't get to have those very much. All of them are in the 90-95 proof range, though Elijah does make a barrel proof version that is 132. It is pretty potent, and more expensive, but also pretty darn smooth for so high a proof. I've never had Maker's, 792, or Eagle Rare, but I'd like to try them. Eagle Rare is made by Buffalo Trace, if I'm not mistaken. Oldest distillery in Kentucky, or so I'm told. 2 1
harv Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 You really need to try Makers Mark, Makers 64. My standard. I'd really like to try those Tim. I think this one was about $28 at Sams....harv 2
Jeff Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Looks like this fat boy has to get off the BEER truck ! 2
harv Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 I do like my beer to. I love Blue Moon draft with a orange chunk. My home beer is either Bud Ice or Keystone ice. About 6%....harv 2

Which makes for a silly amount of choice. Edited January 20, 2021 by BlrwestSiR Fix typo 2
harv Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 Yes. I didn't care much for it. Can't tell you why just didn't taste right to me. Also its made by by the Makers family. I understand there are three family's. One does Makers, one does Knob Creek and there is a third that I can't recall...harv 2
harv Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 BTW, how do you enjoy your drink ? I like mine neat......harv 3
Vandy1 VX-4 Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 same neat room temp or a cold glass. Used to also drink this whiskey Saint George . but you can’t get this version of it anymore. I was told it was made from the mash of Sierra Nevada beer 4
Bomber_County Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Ok, a Brit here..........never tried bourbon but love a good Scottish whiskey.........please discuss........ 3
harv Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 Sure, but don't know a thing about them.....harv 2

AlanG Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 That's ok Phil. Its a common mistake. Having moved from sunny scunny in Lincolnshire to northern Scotland, i had to learn all this. The local area is rife with distillerys 4
