Bourbon

[CMAC]

Really cant stand Scotch but occasionally tried some bourbons and been pleasantly surprised.


There are so many varieties out there its confusing, any Bourbon drinkers with recommendations of good ones that dont taste like a peaty Scotch?

 

[ManinBlack]

I love them, especially dipped into my coffee.

 

[virtuocity]

I like Maker's Mark.

It's very expensive and not easy to find but you won't be disappointed - here's the full title:

Wild Turkey Rare Breed Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Proof.

Wild Turkey do other bourbons but this is the real deal - superb.

I love them, especially dipped into my coffee.

I like biting one half of biscuit off and then scraping the filling off the other bit with my teeth, before dunking that half in my mug.

That's the one. If you don't like it I'll take it off your hands at half price.

If it's the smokey peaty taste of whisky thats the problem there is an easy to find closer to home solution called whiskey.

Likewise, much prefer Bourbon, have to say quite like Jim Beam myself. A friend had some nice Bourbon sure it had a hawk on the bottle. Also quite a fan of red stag but maybe a little sweet.

ergo if I like it you'll take it off my hands for double:smirk:

 

[SocketRocket]

I agree with Makers mark.

 

[Skypilot]

I've tried Jim Beam but find it tastes like concentrated vanilla.
Do all bourbons basically taste similar?

 

[SaintHacker]

Tried a few but I always end up coming back to bog standard JD, Gentleman Jack isn't bad but personally I prefer the normal stuff

I would doubt it- do all Scotch whiskys taste similar?

This :thup:

 

[JCW]

Like a wee bit of JD myself

 

[Smiffy]

Gentleman Jack and I'm quite partial to a drop of JD Tennessee honey.

Wild Turkey 101 if you can find it but you'll probably have to order it online. Best bourbon I've tasted by a stretch. Makers Mark ain't bad but I normally go for Jim Beam as it's usually on offer.

Personally love Drambue has herbs and spices with heather honey. Lovely neat with 2 ice cubes.
