Bourbon, Whisky and Scotch

slow day at work and I just came across this page.  I'll throw out some of my favs which will most likely just confirm what some others have already posted as I perused through the pages.

1. Russell's 10yr

2. Eagle Rare

3. Coopers' craft barrel reserve 100 proof

4 Michter's, any of them

5 The Maddy Gladyn out of French Lick, IN (home of Larry Bird (not really he's from west Baden))

6 Russel's 13yr

7 old Forester 

8 Buffalo Trace

9 Isaac Bowman and Bowman Brothers

10 Bullit, Tin Cup, Remus, Four Roses

Knob Creek 12 year or Old Forester 1920 aren't bad and with $25 off they are even better.  Probably should be available.  Bourbon like anything else is subjective so...

@GSGI would second these suggestions and also throw in the Jack Daniels single barrels with the gold labels. They have a rye version as well both are very good but can be very hot

just heard they are dropping a 15yr old soon.  Had to pull some strings just to get a bottle of 13 last year.

Yes the 15 seems to be out in the wild now but I think MSRP on that sucker is something like $300 with stores asking as much as $700 :dumdum I'm sure it's great but goodness gracious they need to reign in these prices. Love the 13 but that's definitely one that falls victim to the gouging! Glad you could snag one.

I had to buy a couple boxes of the 10yr so they would allocate a bottle of 13 (know someone who managed a bar).  I've never even seen one in a store.  I stay away from the secondary market.  I'll keep an eye out for the 15 but I doubt I'll see it.  Wouldn't pay $300 anyway so I guess it doesn't matter if I see it or not

I was mistaken it is 250 msrp which is a little better but still. I never get anything secondary either but that market has really messed things up to the point of these brands just straight up asking for more since they know people will pay and they aren't the ones getting that extra. It's crazy.

Looking for a bourbon or rye to splurge on a bit

Makers Mark will always be good. 

Get a nice 'rocks' glass set.  

Add ice, Makers Mark, coca-cola.   The carbonation is good.  Squeeze in lime if you want to or not.

Or you can add ocean spray cranberry juice instead of cola.  Or Sprite.  Or Tab.  Whatever you like.

Once you finish the first one, you will likely add more bourbon and slightly less cola with the next pour.  I don't care what anyone says, Ice is great.  Fizzy cola with carbonation is a great addition too. 

Sipping 2 drinks on a weekend night is perfect for relaxing and chilling.  

Makers Mark.  Bourbon.  Red Cap.  For The Win
