Bourbon Thread
anetode:
Figured it would be only fair to celebrate what is perhaps America's greatest contribution to the world of spirits. To kick things off, today I had the pleasure of running into a friend who works at a thrift shop where he just stumbled upon an awesomely campy 1979 Circus Wagon Decanter of 100 mo. old Jim Beam. Now usually Jim Beam Black is my lowest acceptable standard for a bourbon, but this stuff was something else. Not the most flavorful, but so smooth and mild and relaxing.
The field of bourbons might not be as varied or celebrated as Scotch, but it's cheaper and occasionally you run across a gem which holds its own against any other type of whiskey.
My personal go-to is usually 9 yr old Knob Creek, how's about you?
CEE TEE:
Had to help by re-posting pics of the best Bourbon I have ever had...Jefferson's Presidential 17 yr. old Select. Batch #1, bottle #936.
Will take more time to write about the others! :)p5
(Having some Weller with Carpano Antica vermouth, Fee Brothers Orange and Aromatic bitters plus a Luxardo cherry as my nightcap now.)
anetode:
A connoisseur in the mists! I'm going to have to remember about Jefferson's for the next special occasion.
As far as mixology goes, I've never been able to stomach the vermouth aspect of a Manhattan. More into the Old Fashioned, especially after finally running across a properly prepared version at the Velvet Tango Room in Cleveland. Make sure to stop by if you ever happen to trek across the midwest, they take their craft seriously and you can often catch a decent jazz show.

I've been a fan of Basil Hayden's personally. I usually just go rocks for Bourbon.
