Friend of mine got a bottle of Pappy last year and I had a glass. It's damn tasty, but not tasty enough to go crazy trying to find it.

It's good. It's obviously pricey and a special occasion bourbon though. My go tos are usually Four Roses, Woodford, or if it's a little warmer out Basil Hayden.

I'll drink anything that is at least somewhat expensive (no evan williams or any of that swill).

Jack Daniels seems to be made for my taste buds for some reason.

I've still never had Four Roses. Woodford is my go to, but I really like Basil Hayden.

I don't know how it tastes but Bookers' bottles are awesome. Looks like something from the 1800s.

Very sweet desert bourbon with a long shaft.

You figure that one out.

No surprise you bought this.

Bookers is okay. It will also get you sideways quick because its so strong.

fricking racist. Just because of my heritage, you assume I buy bottles based on how effective they'd be as molotov cocktails... Yes, its basically a glass ball with a throwing handle, but still.

Booker's is great, I had a glass at Epiphany in Ttown after a steak dinner with plenty of wine and it set me up perfectly.

Four Roses is my favorite value bourbon, but Buffalo Trace is my fav, especially their Antique Collection. Working my way (slowly) through a couple of bottles of Stagg and the Handy rye. Good stuff!


Wish I had bought more Pappy a few years ago when it was more readily available. The Family Reserve Rye is the best I ever had and the 12YO "Lot B" bourbon was really great stuff too.

If you see it in a store...buy it. You can sell them for a nice profit.

I'm having some Willett's tonight actually. It's a good bourbon. Not my favorite, but definitely worthy of your liquor cabinet.

You and I just might get along. Love Four Roses and Buffalo Trace is my favorite goto bourbon for all occasions. Great tasting bourbon, imvho, and extremely reasonably priced.

Can't speak as to Evan Green, but my kid who's in college came home over the holidays with a plastic jug of 'Virginia Gentleman' bourbon.

Dang. Now that's a nasty pour.
