Try Bookers or Bakers.  Once they flash off, 124.5 proof and 107 proof respectively, they are quite good!

Hmm...I'll have to try one of them.  Saturday, it was between Booker's, Baker's, and Basil Hayden's...I went with the BH.  It is okay; definitely a "lighter" bourbon (less punch than either Bulleitt or Knob Creek).

Booker's is Jim Beam small batch.


JB's grandson, Booker Noe, used to hand select the bourbon straight from the barrel.

I read that.  There was a tiny little "brochure" attached to my Hayden's, talking about small-batch bourbons;  Baker's is also made by a Beam grandson.

Anybody try McCormicks Platte Valley Corn Whiskey.  A buddy of mine brought some trout fishing this past weekend.  80 proof, less bite than a light beer and barely any nose. 

If someone handed you an iced tea glass of this stuff after a workout, cold, you could chug it like gatorade.  Its that.... Im not going to say smooth because "smooth" implies some taste.  Its that "waterlike". Way less bite than any vodka Ive ever had....

My friend said "Whatever you do, don't have a third glass".  I hads to know...  Aye aye aye.

Crazy Stuff!

what you have there my friend is low alcohol moonshine.  even real moonshine at 150-180 proof is surprisingly drinkable.

This is the stuff. 

I was thinking more along these lines

So hook a brother up, Zeke!

Overheard this today:

I like my women like I like my bourbon.

18 years old and mixed up with coke!

Yayah!  +1

Black Maple Hill.  If you see it, buy it!

How about: I like my women like I like my coffee,

Cold, bitter & in a styrofoam cup.

That's funny, b/c we used to name our trivia team "We like our women like we like out coffee" and then a different finishing line every week.

Some of the better ones were:

...black, bitter, and in a Waffle House at 3am.

...with crabs.

...hot.  But not so hot that I can't put my dick in them.

...between my legs on the way to work, keeping my nuts warm.

...full of whiskey and covered with whipped cream.

...ground by Juan Valdez and his donkey.

...with a spoon stuck in them to stir things up.





(And why exactly would you like your women in a styrofoam cup?)

*raising this thread from the dead*


Took a bottle of Elijah Craig to Deal's Gap this year (instead of Jack Daniels).

In my bourbon innocence, Elijah Craig was assumed to be similar to JD over ice
1. bleah!
2. sweet
3. would be good for sanitizing wounds. 


(apparently I like peated not oaked.  coriander, spices and flowers do not mix well with my tastebuds.)

A rather alarming whiskey from across the pond...
