Very nice...

i have actually gotten to the point where i only buy gentleman jack. even for mixing.GB Jack Daniels Single Barrel.
Are you talking about Gentleman Jack (green) or Jack Daniels Single Barrel (small black label)?i have actually gotten to the point where i only buy gentleman jack. even for mixing.GB Jack Daniels Single Barrel.
seriously?there's regular old jack (black label), green label which is the irregular ####, sometimes good, sometimes bad; gentleman jack which is the twice filtered stuff, and then the single barrel, which is the longer aged, super smooth stuff.Are you talking about Gentleman Jack (green) or Jack Daniels Single Barrel (small black label)?i have actually gotten to the point where i only buy gentleman jack. even for mixing.GB Jack Daniels Single Barrel.
I'm confused, man. Somebody said they loved Jack Daniels Single Barrel (which I love) and you responded with Gentleman Jack (which I'm ambivalent about). It's a good point about me being ####ed up about green label. Just trying to figure it all out. In conclusion, I love Single Barrel. There's a lot of stuff I'd rather drink than Gentleman Jack.seriously?there's regular old jack (black label), green label which is the irregular ####, sometimes good, sometimes bad; gentleman jack which is the twice filtered stuff, and then the single barrel, which is the longer aged, super smooth stuff.Are you talking about Gentleman Jack (green) or Jack Daniels Single Barrel (small black label)?i have actually gotten to the point where i only buy gentleman jack. even for mixing.GB Jack Daniels Single Barrel.
Two of these three statements are wrong. Maker's Mark is better than regular Jack Daniels. But, you're missing the point of this thread. It's to sit around, drink your favorite brown liquor, and reflect on the greatness of being a man that drinks brown liquor. Preferably straight up, but on the rocks is acceptable.Markers Mark and Wild Turkey 1000 times > Jack Daniels.
Knob Creek is better than all of them.
it's all good. i pretty much just buy gentleman jack for sipping and mixing at this point. black and green label are good for mixing with coke or shooting if you are drunk.single barrel is good for sipping.i consider gentleman jack good for sipping or mixing, so i just stick to that as a nice compromise right now.I'm confused, man.

I think Eagle Rare's a really good value. I'm picking up a bottle tomorrow to get me through the Texas-Texas Tech game tomorrow.When Im gettin drunk, its Early Times all the wayWhen Im just tossin a few back, its either:Eagle RareWoodford ReserveKnob CreekBourbon does a body good!!
Eagle Rare is an awesome valueShort story short, when I lived in Myrtle a couple years ago, I asked the cashier (smaller establishment, only 1 register) what she recommended bourbon/whiskey wise. Eagle Rare was her 1st choice, most bang for you buckOnly time I ever asked for a recommendation, and she came through mos def. For about 20$ for your typical bottle, its a great buy. Its also on sale a lot Ive noticedI think Eagle Rare's a really good value.

My dad is an Early Times man and has been for decades. I've tried to introduce him to better bourbons... some small batch stuff, etc., but he won't have it.

Yep. They make four premium offerings. Knob Creek, Bookers, Bakers, and Basil Haydens. That's why you often see them together on a display at a bar.Really?So.........you really like Jim Beam's premium selection?My dad is an Early Times man and has been for decades.

Im glad a texan knows bout Eagle Rare...most I tell about it have never heard of it, let alone tried itSo does that mean you think Tech is gonna win? Thats certainly what im hoping for, and likely what I expect. I might have to get classy for bourbon tomorrow as well if thats what happensI think Eagle Rare's a really good value.

if you like canadian whisky at all, and like cheap stuff at a bar, get some Canadian Club. good stuff.And I forgot to mention, but I think my bourbon preferences have shown their capability, so:
Makers Mark is wayy overrated
I tastes like canadian whisky, and maybe it is, but if I wanted to drink that, Id drink Crown
As a Texas Ex and Longhorn season ticket holder I'm not going to agree with that, but I'll have whiskey to deal with the outcome regardless. And I should go ahead and apologize for my behavior in the game thread in advance.Im glad a texan knows bout Eagle Rare...most I tell about it have never heard of it, let alone tried itSo does that mean you think Tech is gonna win?

The thing about most bars is, you typically arent really saving all that much on your overpriced drink between something like CC or BeamAt a bar, I typically go for the low end stuff like Beam or JD bc its better than drinking CC for 50 cents lessif you like canadian whisky at all, and like cheap stuff at a bar, get some Canadian Club. good stuff.And I forgot to mention, but I think my bourbon preferences have shown their capability, so:

I like me some Canadian- but generally prefer VO or even Schenley's OFC if I can find it.JB- Have you tried Sam Houston whiskey- I'm a fan of that.if you like canadian whisky at all, and like cheap stuff at a bar, get some Canadian Club. good stuff.And I forgot to mention, but I think my bourbon preferences have shown their capability, so:

Ill rephrase that - I dont think Texas will lose, but I like its very possible.

Not fami9liar with that one.my favorite all-time is I.W. Harper. But it has all been sent directly to Japan since the 80s, except for a small stash I found in an old liquor store inSanFran about 10 years agoThis just occurred to me in my half drunk bourbon state:Anyone ever have George T. Stagg??When I was about 19 or so, I cracked my pops bottle of this stuff. It was awesome. It didnt realize how awesome it was until I realized he bought it for the other Dr. in his practice as a gift and saw it was typically going for $100+ a bottle on ebay.Its pret-tay good.
Not heard of that either...and I guess as an easterner I know why.Apparently the Stagg is only sold seasonly, briefly, in select places. Its about 140 proof (they actually write the proof to 1 decimal place on the label) and it still tastes like brown sugarI personally would never pay that much for some tasty bourbon, but this stuff was ridiculously goodNot fami9liar with that one.my favorite all-time is I.W.

drink whiskeyJust posting this in here, but TrailBlazers' fans - what exactly does Steve Blake do?
if he doesn't do bourbon, then this is the wrong forumJust posting this in here, but TrailBlazers' fans - what exactly does Steve Blake do?
DUDE...while crown is cool, the light mild flavor of CC (which some consider bland and call it "brown vodka" - but I digress) is really perfect for a nice mixed beverage.
CC and Coke Zero or CC and Sprite Zero are my drinks of choice when i'm just chillin' and not getting too serious about drinking.
