Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Bourbon,
Nodaisho:
I thought people just used that in place of gasoline, better miles per $ these days.
philharmonic:
OK so i've read through this tread and forgive me if i've missed it but nobody has mentioned "Buffalo Trace" or "Knob Creek". Both are available here in addition to Woodford. So the question is of the 3 what should I buy. Bear in mind i'm still a bit of a noob on the hard stuff. Most likely to try neat first but also wanting to try making some mint juleps. Of course failing that I'd probably just mix it with Coke or Ginger Ale.
Edith:
Did I fail to mention Buffalo Trace? Sorry about that!
BT is excellent, and I think less expensive than Woodford. Not quite as smooth, but when I took it to a knitting party last month, none of the women were mixing it, and we were all drinking it. I haven't tried Knob Creek, yet!
StreetSpirit:
So this week I completed the Urban Bourbon Trail through my city of Louisville. It entailed stopping at eight different bars that specialize in bourbon, enjoying a drink at each bar and then getting approved for having consumed a different bourbon at said bar. At the end of the "trail" you get a fancy flask, a random t-shirt, a nice little shot glass, and a pat on the back. Go go KY!
FireAarro:
Woo! I have a bottle of Makers and it's pretty nice, I'd like to try a ryed bourbon next though. Any good varieties slightly cheaper than Makers? Alcohol is about twice the price it is in the States over here in Australia (700mL of Maker's Mark = $40, on sale), so I can't shell out too much.
Bourbon, gin and vodka, I enjoy sipping. I think white rum is my favourite spirit to mix with though, generally. It's not as bold a flavour as gin but you can always taste it. Vodka is a bit too neutral and tends to vanish, I find.
Has anyone tried Zoladkowa Gorka? It's a Polish vodka infused with herbs and such. I've tasted it once and it is delicious. Am going to go hunting for it at the shops someday.
