Topic: Bourbon (and other whiskeys)
So, very recently (within nine or so months) I've gotten into bourbon, due to a friend really enjoying it and then taking the time to teach me the nuances. Are there any other bourbon drinkers on the forum? Currently, I've got a lovely bar filled with:
-Buffalo Trace
-Buffalo Trace (Knightly Spirits Barrel Select)
-Eagle Rare
-W.L. Weller Special Reserve
-Elijah Craig
-Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C918 batch
-Litchfield Distillery Cask Strength
-Litchfield Distillery Double Barreled (10 year)
-Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
The basic Elijah Craig is my daily drinker, with the Eagle Rare, Weller, and Litchfields reserved for special occasions. I have to be in the mood for the Woodford, as it's a very bitter finish, almost like coffee. The Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is one of my favorite pours, and the C918 batch clocked in at a staggering 131.4 proof or thereabout. It's a fantastic bourbon to drink neat, even with the heat from the high proof. It almost tastes spicy, but has incredible caramel notes. I also have a couple of ryes: Sazarac Rye (once again, Buffalo Trace Distillery), and just got a bottle of Whistlepig Piggyback 6-year.
