OT-Bourbon drinkers?

[TampaBaySkers]

I’ve been really into redwood empire. Their cask strength rye is a great bottle and my favorite bottle right now. That said, their standard emerald giant rye is an amazing value for the $30-35 price tag

Yea I’ve heard good things about redwood. I’ll give it a try

I’m not a rye fan but I don’t think I’ve had a good one. That stuff they bottle over in Iowa is awful.

I'm not into rye either. Funky taste

It’s not for everyone. Nothing is. I used to not like rye…then I tasted some better ryes. Michter’s 10 rye. JD single barrel barrel proof. Willett. Midwinter nights dram. Emerald giant cask strength. All pretty different. Some even pretty bourbon-esque. If you need a transition, you can look into redwood empire lost monarch. It’s a bou-rye…a blend of their bourbon and rye. There are also a lot of high rye bourbons that you can sample and build your taste for it

For you guys that are really into bourbon where does Wild Turkey rank?

Personally, it is my favorite, I am not a bourbon drinking but there is something about wild turkey, the smell and the taste, it is amazing.

I’m out here in LaLa land this week. Local wine and more in Brea (where I’m staying) has Knob Creek 12 for $65. Any of you boys had KC 12? Worth the 65 price point?

You're staying in Brea of all places? At the Embassy Suites? KC12 is def worth the $65 IMO but Brea Total Wine had Eagle Rare for $41 as of yesterday evening and I would get that over KC12.

You stalking me ? Good to hear ER is 41. ER is always a buy sub 50

I like Wild Turkey Rare Breed as my #2
Buffalo Trace is my #1
Wild Turkey 101 if I just want to feel warm.

65 seems high for KC12. Walmart I think has it cheaper. I lost my fixer for Blantons😕. She quit as the liquor manager at HyVee. With the ramp up in production at Buffalo Trace I thought we would see a glut in bourbon but obviously it takes quite a while to age etc. I like Knob Creek double oaked but haven’t seen it anywhere lately.
