It sits next to my similarly tall, narrow bottled unfiltered, uncut 143 proof George T. Stagg bourbon. You need to be ready when you sip that one neat. Stagg, in any expression, is worth having. Stagg Jr. makes an incredible mint julep. Christ. You’re a derbyphile too?  Perhaps. Who knows? I’ve had exactly zero mint juleps ever. That last comment was purely conjecture for purposes of trolling. Something you should be doing right now, literally.

I'm totally with Ducksanddogs on this.
I get more pleasure out of sharing my whiskey with others and watching them enjoy it than drinking it myself. If that means they add ice, water, coke, or anything else that's fine by me. -tnscouter

I've been a fan of the EW's 'white label' 100 proof now for some time.. YMMV.. Me too.I like others,but when it's time to buy more,I have a hard time not buying E W Bottled In Bond 100 proof.At about $23 for a 1.75l bottle,I still cannot believe the price is that low for a whiskey of that quality.

This is a good Evans Williams, but only available at their gift shop or overseas. It is a bit pricy so I don't get it often. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/qAnI3yB.jpg)

I like to simmer my whiskey on the stove top, light it with a match and shoot it down. I don't understand all this ice talk.

What if somebody tried something like Ten High and on the strength of that experience decided all bourbon sucked? Should I just let that ill informed dog lie? Does a fella need to read every romance novel ever printed to decide he doesn't care for them? It just leaves more for you if we don't drink it. I don't see the problem.

There's not a real problem, nobody has to like something. It's just that as an enthusiast I'd not want to see someone miss out on something they would enjoy because of a hasty trial.

When my neighbor and great friend killed his first elk last fall, I went over to his house with an unopened bottle of Stagg Jr. And after we had a drink of it, I left the bottle with him. Yes, he's that good a friend.
His 21 year old son, a great kid whom I love like he was my own, mixed his drink with DR PEPPER, of all things. His dad made him call to apologize the next day.

Bourbon cocktails = Jim Beam
Sipping bourbon, neat, no ice, no still water.
Single Malt Scotch = "mostly" tiny splash of still water, to open up & help me really appreciate the subtleties !

*mostly* - does not include "light" single malts - ie: glenfiddich 12 & such styles.

mathman and Dutch giving her a go was a nice repartee. Almost poetic.
Thank you and Cheers !
🦫 Beaver, That Basil Hayden’s is a fine pour. Makes a great daily drink and one I’ll go deep on if/when my others dry up. As it stands, I can still get Blanton’s about once a week, although I’m paying more than I’d like these days. Regardless, the Basil Hayden’s is a good drink, and their 10 year old offering is even better, if you can find it. Crack into it, you won’t be disappointed. Took the advice of D&D and went the low road with a mix of Cola and cubes. Perfect! 🦫 ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/vHBZg4X3/2-FD29006-C9-A2-49-F6-B418-4-DE9-C364917-A.jpg)
