Knob Creek is my other go-to. Fine beverage there as well.


Meh, that's almost getting a little too steep for me. I don't feel like I'm getting proper bang for buck.

I'm not fancy. I'll take Maker's or Jameson, all day.

I think mostly I want to be able to tolerate it enough while a couple of my other buddies do that. If all you bastards would stop trying so hard to be sharp and tough I could appreciate my damn whisky and coke without judgement!

I didn't really develop that taste until after college, but I think a lot of that had to do with the fact I was drinking Jim Beam in college. When I started drinking good whiskey, drinking it on the rocks was the only way

Maker's and coke is great. Same with woodford. That is no doubt my favorite.

I keep trying to improve my whisky acquired taste... woodford over ice, once each time I get a bottle. I still haven't gotten to the point that i "like" it, but I get a little closer each time.


Just drink better bourbon. There's nothing wrong with Woodford or Maker's, but that's like saying you want to like a type of food while exclusively trying it at chain restaurants.

I mean, I get it. What I mean to articulate is that whisky is not something you could give a baby (if it were safe) and them like or enjoy the taste. It's a harsh chemical after all. I pretty much exclusively buy woodford, knob creek, crown reserve, elijah craig, and/or makers. I have not been able to really find a single scotch I liked as much as those, so I'm gonna keep at those until I prefer it without a splash of cola (caveat, scotches i've tried: glenfiddich, Several JW types, laphroaig, and one or two others I can't remember) . I mean, I do adhere to the idea that a real man ought to be able to drink hard stuff straight up. I'm just not 100% of the way there yet... unless I've had 3-4 stiff drinks already.

In (the bluegrass region of) Kentucky, you ARE given it as a baby. How the hell else do you deal with teething?

Get creative man, that's all I'm saying. Find some weird stuff like orphan barrels, etc. the more disparate bourbons you try, I think the more you'll appreciate each. Also get the frick out with crown reserve.

Hey, crown reserve isn't bad! It doesn't have a full body flavor, but it's super clean. It's actually a good beginner type to buy to put over ice at least for me.

*edit*

Considering my admitted lack of acquired taste in this thread, there may be a good reason I'm off base on that reserve pick of mine lol

It DOES get packaged and sold to you in a sack made of skin. You may be on to something here.

LSU- Bud Light and Crown Royal seem to be the official drinks of the state of Louisiana.

Auburn - I had many a friends on the plains during our college days and Keystone and Jim beam seem to stick out

Alabama - natty light/bud light and Evan black label were always the staples in the fridge in ttown. Fire fly and water was my go to for yard games.

Tennessee - Jack Daniels.

Those are from personal experiences but seem to hold up more or less
Just reading over some responses

No. It was Old Charter no doubt. Now, with the manufacturing hiatus I am not as certain
