Yes. Made at that distillery. Explains why I like it. I love Buffalo Trace too. But that stuff is hard to find out here in PA. We have to buy liquor in the State run liquor stores. And those idiots never order enough. It is gone off the shelves in hoursHad that a while back, good stuff. It's from the Buffalo Trace family, right?

You got that right. We have the most backward liquor laws of any State, save Utah. All liquor has to be bought in State stores. That includes wine. All beer has to be purchased at an officially licensed beer distributor AND you have to buy a case of it. No six packs. They passed a law a few years ago that finally allows grocery stores to sell six packs of beer and wine. BUT, it has to be in a designated area where there must also be a dining area with a small cafe. Absurd.Communist PA
No. Makers Mark is my favorite Bourbon. Lately I have been drinking more Scotch. I like the smokey/Peaty Scotches of Islay like Ardbeg and Laphroig and LaguvilinDo you like it better than Maker's Mark or Eagle Rare?

It is completely stupid. And everyone out here admits that it is stupid. But the state liquor workers are unionized and have all kinds of contracts with various clauses basically guaranteeing them a job for life.State run? WTF- move to Texas—never had problems getting Buffalo or any other bourbon..... hell they have a distillery here in Ft. Worth (TXwhiskey) and a whiskey garden that’s awesome.
Breweries (rahr and Martin house) as well...
That sounds as stupid as those idiots in Oregon with the gas pumping....
Me too. It was the first whiskey I really loved.I am partial to Maker's
I have the ryeWhich type did you get? Small batch is great and not too pricey, single barrel steps up in both but may be my favorite whiskey right now. Their rye is even more but excellent. The one I want to find I have only had a pour in a bar, that is the four grain, very limited distribution from what I understand but fantastic.
I prefer the Colnel Taylor small batch, but it cost more.Do you like it better than Maker's Mark or Eagle Rare?
But maybe it is worth it. This rye I am drinking is damn goodI prefer the Colnel Taylor small batch, but it cost more.
I like Old Forster too. Ever had Pritchards?I’m sipping on an Old Forrster 1920 right now and it’s terrific.
Same in Oregon, except for Beer & Wine, you can buy that at any food store . Either in ones, or twos.You got that right. We have the most backward liquor laws of any State, save Utah.

BUT, it has to be in a designated area where there must also be a dining area with a small cafe. Absurd.
Never heard of it. I’ll have to give it a try. Is it easy to find?I like Old Forster too. Ever had Pritchards?
Yes it is hard to find. But they make a Bourbon with coco beans in it that is amazingNever heard of it. I’ll have to give it a try. Is it easy to find?
Canadian whiskey sucks. Especially in IowaYep, Kirkland Canadian Whiskey over here boys!
Canadian whiskey sucks. Especially in Iowa
The rye is close to $90 a bottle in Denver, small batch is something around $30. I have found single barrel as low as $55.But maybe it is worth it. This rye I am drinking is damn good
Isn't Iowa already in Canada? LolGod no sh!t. Jesus Iowa sucks. Could you imagine how much Iowa would suck if Iowa was in Canada? Worlds would collide.
Not a fan of Jeffersons. But I know tons of people who love it. It has a higher alcohol content tooYou guys ever try Jefferson’s Reserve or Ocean Aged? Both are excellent IMO.
I’d love to try the Presidential Select but I don’t have the money to be paying that much for brown liquor.
I would love to do that tour! Are there different companies who offer them? Any you recommend? Or is it better just to do it on your own?I need to get something from the Buffalo Trace family. Toured the distillery and liked the samples we tried. Their bourbon cream is awesome, a prefer it over Bailey's when it comes to cream liquors.
My go-to is Woodford Reserve, followed by Makers Mark and/or Maker's 46 depending on my mood. My father in law got a bottle of Old Granddad from us for Father's Day (his first as a grandpa, so fitting) and its pretty nice.
I recently got into scotches, my first spendy bottle is Balvenie 14 Year Caribbean Cask that my wife got me for Valentine's Day last year, and I waited until my son was born to open it and celebrate. As someone who likes rum, it was a good way to dip my toe in given it has some rum notes and is on the sweeter side since it is a speyside.
On another note, if you ever get a chance I highly recommend hitting the distilleries in Kentucky for tours. Woodford was a really good tour, as was Makers (BEAUTIFUL property). Four Roses was meh, Buffalo Trace was nice but you don't get to see much. The bus was broken at Wild Turkey so we didn't get to actually go I'm the tour there. I'm hoping to try to complete the rest of the "Bourbon Trail" distilleries the next time we're down there.
Yes, the Rye I had yesterday tasted just as you describe. Excellent! And I did not know it was so expensive. Damn. Now I owe my friend big time.The rye is close to $90 a bottle in Denver, small batch is something around $30. I have found single barrel as low as $55.
The rye is great so much pepper and spice up front. What sold me on the Colonel is the flavor and burn seem more in the taste and less in the finish, it just seems to go down smooth but you get an explosion of flavor. A lot of fire in the initial taste and sweet finish. Sound anything close to how you experience it?
I've had two Old Forester and really liked the 1897 BIB. I have a bottle Jefferson reserve but don't recall it...I've been trying too many others which tells me I must not be sold on it. (Friends and family indulge my habit and gift whiskey way too often). I'll pour myself some soon though and refresh my memory.
A sneaky good rye, that is an any day kind of drinker is Redemption Rye which is around $30.
My favorite for introducing people to bourbon is Angel's Envy with port wine barrel finish. Just seems to be more drinkable for those who haven't had much whiskey.
Pappy is good but it breaks the bank account.Bourbon. pappy
Scotch. Oban or Yamazaki 12
Very true. Its been a while since i have had it for that reasonPappy is good but it breaks the bank account.

I’d love to try the Presidential Select but I don’t have the money to be paying that much for brown liquor.
