Picked up a bottle of Old Bardstown Estate the other day along with a bottle of Larceny. They’re on my list to do over the weekend. |

Rebel Yell Small Batch Reserve tonight.

Got a cold and a horrible sore throat.
Poured some Eagle Rare and it burned my throat and tasted like crap (due to the cold). So I tried some Plymouth Gin and lemon juice. Awesome! Drank it way to fast, will try to sip the next one. I feel better already.

Looking for a neat sipping sweet bourbon, but not southern comfort lol. If you like the Evan Williams products, you might try Evan Williams Single Barrel. The whiskey is around 8 years old and while not overly complex, I find it to be an easy sipping, enjoyable and a perhaps the most affordable single barrel out there. Another great option if you havnt tried it yet is Weller Special Reserve (green label). A 90 proof, wheated bourbon that has a bit more sweetness from the wheat and to me a decently long finish. You might also try Four Roses Yellow Label; very pleasant, easy drinking bourbon that is very nicely balanced in my opinion. These are a few quick suggestions based on my limited knowledge. As mentioned- there are some very knowledgeable folks here who I'm sure will provide recommendations. |

Thank you. I keep hearing Wellers come up... I may have to try that. EW small batch, FRs, and woodford were good. I just picked up Bulleit which is ok but has a definite bite..

Bogle Chardonnay
Not bad for a $12 Chard. Pretty straw color Melon and very ripe pear on the nose, along with the expected vanilla Medium body I wouldn't call it creamy but it has plenty of light, oaky butter for this price point Easygoing finish. Like most Bogle wines, it's a very drinkable everyday wine for food pairing or sipping.

Sipping on this rum from St. Lucia. Just picked it up today. Not bad so far.

I'm not a real beer aficionado, more of a Bourbon drinker.
However I went on a beer sampling spree a couple years ago and tried a lot of different type and brands. The Boulevard BBQ is my favorite of all that I tried. I have not had the whiskey barrel stout yet, I will have to see if I can get some. There is no Boulevard beer sold in TN so I have to drive well down into GA to buy any.

Last time I went down to GA to get some Boulevard they had some “vintage” bottles. I was a bit skeptical about beer that old but I bought a couple bottles. I drank one right away and it was fine. I’m saving the other bottle for a while.
2014 was a good year.

There is no Boulevard beer sold in TN so I have to drive well down into GA to buy any. I'm a bourbon guy too. I just (last 6 months or so) started trying different beers. I have a friend that is a "beer guy" and he's been pointing me in the right direction so far. That sucks that you have to go to another state to get it. If I had to do that, I'd just stick with bourbon. Some of the beers I've had are great but bourbon is still king for me. . |
