BOURBON questions & comments

I hear everyone saying Pappy Van 20 year old. I must have gotten a bad bottle or something because I'm more than half way through with mine, and I haven't really been impressed. I tried it once and thought my taste buds were off, I tried it on a few more different occasions and just don't see what all the fuss is about!:confused:



BengalMan, let us know what you think of the Stagg! :tu

I feel the same way about the 20 year but I really like the 15 year alot more complex and smooth. I also like the fact that it's cheeper and it is 107 proof.

If you try it let me know.
 
Went to pick up a bottle of bourbon after work yesterday and grabbed one I've never had, Kentucky Vintage.

When I first opened the bottle I was immediately hit with an aroma of citrus and a touch of something pleasant. Warm on the palate giving recognition to the 90proof but not overwhelming. You could also pick up the taste of corn and believe I was getting rye as well.

I'm only a couple glasses into this but I am liking it. :tu

Picked up a bottle of Eagle Rare 10 Year SB for $19 last night. With the bottles of Evan Williams and Buffalo Trace I already have, I'm going to do a taste testing Friday night. :tu
 
You have quite the range there. My experience tasting the Buffoloe Trace is less than complimentary. Is the Evan 10yr old single?

Volt, we talked about it at Dave's herf on Saturday, it's the 1997 Single Barrel. MC had it for $18 last week and I was hoping to pickup another bottle yesterday, but they had the Eagle Rare on sale. I tried the Buffalo Trace for a week and went back to the EW SB.

Waiting for Shopper's Vineyard to finally get Rittenhouse Rye 100 back in stock! Last week I shopped locally and picked up Russell's Reserve Rye, while at $30 it is better than $14 Old Overholt; the Rittenhouse Rye still tastes better to me that the Russell.

I also picked up some EW SB, Buffalo Trace, and Dalmore SM.
 
Had some of this watching the derby on Saturday... it was alot better than I remeber the last time I tried Woodford's! :tu
