What's the point in having it if you aren't going to drink it?

I’ve heard it put this way:
It’s better to have Lou Rawls and not need him, then to need Lou Rawls and not have him.

I can drink it whenever I wish … it’s called impulse control. Some things are collected and some are saved for special occasions… crazy right?

 

[Melancer46]

It’s overrated and way expensive. Give me Old Granddad all day.

I would never buy it myself but it was definitely the best bourbon I've ever had and I've had a lot.

 

[RedtheGOB]

Everybody is entitled to their opinion drink whatever they like and want but this is insane.

You’re insane. You’re talking to a 5 Star Man!

EH Taylor’s a great bourbon. Often feel as though Buffalo Trace is over touted, but that stuff’s all the hype and more.

Agreed. I'm more of a wild Turkey kind of palate but EH is phenomenal, doesn't last long when I find a bottle on the shelf in my cabinet.

 

[Melancer46]

Personal preference for a great sip is Michter’s

If you guys are looking for an interesting whiskey to try, I recommend ordering a bottle of JT Meleck off of Bourbon Outfitter. It's a rice whiskey but drinks like a beautifully smooth bourbon and it's fairly cheap (standard bottle around $45, special editions can run you up to like $70-90 depending on the bottle).

I enjoy Woodford Double Oaked. Kinda like desert.

 

[OrangeAl]

So, let's make this the team entry song at the Dome! With or without the words it's a jolt.

45 minutes out!!

 

[orange79]

OK.

Let's take all the bourbon talk where it belongs - the bourbon thread.

Thanks.

 

[sufan59]

45 minutes out!!

This feels like they are being fed a soap opera. Here is my logic at this hour, Is it really that deep in terms of making this decision at the last minute? Your mind is made up weeks before you put on a big event with friends and family. You’re not weighing anything once you make the arrangement to throw this big party.
