harv Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Its a bit more bite ier. Smooth. Quite a different taste than Makers. I like it though.....harv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted January 20, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 20, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Just finished my 64. How's the 1792 ? I think they had that there....harv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggtim Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 You've seriously got to try Elijah Craig, and Buffalo Trace. I also like Larceny, and EH Taylor. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggtim Posted January 20, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes for a silly amount of choice. Edited January 20, 2021 by BlrwestSiR Fix typo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
