I'm by no means a expert, I do like eagle rare and garrison brothers. I've never been able to taste wine or whiskey and tell why I like it other than it tastes good to me You've got to hand it to a blind prostitute

Not overly pricy and continually gets picked when I do blind taste test. It is from Virginia. I prefer the cheaper Small Batch over the Single Barrel. Last edited by kenjs1; 08/01/23.

Elijah Craig small batch is in that category as well. Wheated bourbons like Makers and Weller make good sipping varieties also. Fear the crabcat.

I have lots of others but those are my staples. Of course, like anything else, everyone's tastes are a little different.

She also likes Four Roses. I don't care for bourbon, so can't offer any personal tips. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

Their bourbon is indeed excellent, probably the best I've ever had. However, it is very expensive - more than a very nice single malt. I've been drinking Bulleit, which is very good IMO. Still Austin is also rather good. Last edited by High_Noon; 08/01/23. l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here.
