If you're going to drink it that way you can save a lot of money by using basic bourbon.

When you become a master distiller then I might start giving a chit how you prefer us to drink burbon until then this man has it right

Fred Noe is quoted as saying “I'm giving you permission to drink my bourbon any damn way you want to.” That includes using it to make a bourbon and coke. He said referring to Booker's, “If you take the best bourbon in the world and mix it with Coke, you got the best bourbon and Coke in the world.”

Mathman just in case you don’t know Fred Noe is Jim beams master distiller...

Best bourbon and Coke, that's real high flying right there.

But, then you wouldn’t say anything about it.

Nails on a chalkboard.

Hell you are probably chugging down early times from a plastic cup right now..

Elmer T. Lee drank his with Sprite, and Julian Van Winkle has his on ice with a squeeze of lemon if I remember those things correctly.

I still say that takes away from what makes their spirits different and more involving than pedestrian stuff.

I have some Early Times bottled in bond bourbon that I enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass. Does that count?

I did enjoy a tumbler of 18 while reading this thread, and before placing surveying stakes this morning. Neat.

It was a helluva day for Beave.

Dang, Beaver, it won’t be too long before you’re shopping irresponsibly on the internet, at this rate.

Well done!

That's sig line material right there!
mathman, do you prefer a certain type of glass to enhance the flavor/aroma when sipping whiskey, like a Glencairn?

1910 is some good stuff getting hard to find up here..

I like to find a bottle of that stuff just to have, Evan Williams BIB is pretty decent stuff for $18 bucks

Plenty here...send me your addy and I’ll ship you up a few bottles.

As mentioned earlier. 1910 is my daily pour.

J,

I got myself into some trouble with a bottle of 8 Seconds this past weekend. Good price point. You have that up North?

🦫

It's better than just to have, it's actually quite good. A very fine value at something like $23 for a liter bottle.

You probably know already but for those others who don't, the garden variety Early Times isn't bourbon, but a blended whiskey with some bourbon at its base. I've seen it speculated that the base bourbon *may* be the same as what eventually becomes the bottled in bond.

But it’s so smooth...

A Glencairn or anything with a similar shape is good.

I thought Kessler was the one that's "Smooth as Silk."
