Good bourbons?

**mattbta** · January 4th, 2007, 12:06 PM

So far I've had the standard Jim Beam/Jack Daniels, Maker's Mark, Crown Royal, Seagrams Seven.

One of my favorites is Labrot and Graham's Woodford Reserve. Any other good ones I should try?

Well, Seagrams, and Crown aren't American whiskey (thus they're not bourbons and spelled whisky), and Jack isn't really a true bourbon. But it's not a huge issue

. Also, try Knob Creek, Bulleit Bourbon, Jim Beam Black, Bookers(expensive), Evan Williams, and I like Old Grand Dad 100 proof. Makers is one of my favorites, so you definitely got a good one there

Gentle Man Jack is also pretty good, was a favorite of mine a while back. Elijah Craig is good for the money and for mixing. Old Charter is good for Whisky Sours. And do yourself a favor and get some Crown SR at some point. It is a great treat for yourself from time to time.

I seem to go through cycles with bourbon -- I'll drink it all the time for a month or so and then get back on beer for a couple months. I'll try the suggestions out next time I'm on a kick for liquor.

I like JB and JB Black as much as anything. I have tried nearly every one in the Bourbon isle of the local Thrifty.

Wild Turkey is a very good bourbon, I always try and keep a bottle around.

Skip the Evil Williams. Old Grandad is Bonded.

That's what Willy is always drinking in Bad Santa.

JD, JD single barrel (although not really bourbon) are my favorites. Elijah Craig is excellent IMO.
