Never thought of it. Actually the joke could be on them. I might just drink it before!
They know i have it and I have to guard it with my life. Kind of an inside thing between us.
Sounds like a great story and hilarious!
Don't ever croak. You don't have my permission to do so.
:Cool:
I picked up Eligah s/barrel @ Hy Vee off 132nd, Omaha for 19.95. Also snagged a bottle of 100 proof Old Grandad. Same price. The clerk said those were the last 2 in stock. 2 customers all but cleaned them out.
Plenty of OG 114 @ 23.00$. I'm really liking the taste of rye bourbon. We visited for Thanksgiving & HyVee is quite a store when you're from Stickville, WV.
The Bourbon Trail is only 150 miles away, I'll need to make another tour.
If Pennsy was here he would remind you that Old Grand Dad was Joe Paterno’s drink of choice.
Wild Turkey has always been my go to. Just interested in looking at something a little more upscale?
Better by a lot, but the Joe Pa thing was a deal breaker for me.
Wild turkey is a little too hot for me. Try a wild turkey surprise. Turkey, squirt and a couple drops of tobasco. Sounds terrible but not bad
I'm a relative newbie myself, just really enjoy trying them and even more so visiting the distilleries. My go to's are Woodford Reserve and and Maker's Mark, was first exposed to both while touring the distilleries. I recently started dabbling in scotch as well, but still prefer bourbon as scotch can be a bit peaty for me taste.
Re: Evan Williams, it is a bourbon that comes in above its cost. It's certainly not a complex bourbon, but it isn't intended to be at its price. I always have a bottle of Evan on hand for mixing and if I don't want to drink one of my more expensive options.
My favorite analogy for Evan Williams is that it’s the K-State of Bourbon. It has no business being as good as it is.
My bourbons:
Wild Turkey 101 - my go to economy bourbon
Woodford Reserve - very nice
Maker's 46 - personal favorite bourbon
Jim Beam
Jack Daniels - overpriced crap
Evan Williams - same as Jack Daniels, but cost a lot less
Bulleit 10 Year
Elijah Craig Small Batch
I've had Buffalo Trace a couple of years ago. It's a good bourbon for the price. Apparently, they don't make enough to satisfy demand. So, it gets snapped up fairly quickly when it is put on the shelf here in DFW. I can't take off from work just to get bourbon. LOL
I do have a couple of ryes: Woodford Reserve and Knob Creek.

My favorite Bourbons would probably be:
Angels Envy
Ridgemont 1792 (Single Barrel)
Henry McKenna
Makers 46
I really like American whiskeys too. Bourbons all taste somewhat similar, there are exceptions like Angels Envy, that age their bourbon in old wine barrels, but most are similar. My favorite American Whiskeys would probably be:
Mitchners Unblended
TX (Blended, not the Bourbon)
Wyoming Whiskey
Stranahan Black Label
Angels Envy
Ridgemont 1792 (Single Barrel)
