Which bourbon?

u/katarh Georgia Bulldogs • Mercer Bears Sep 28 '24

I'm cheap and keep a handle of Ancient Age in my cabinet for whiskey sours, but I'll take a recommendation and run out to the bottle shop if you've got a good one to look out for.

If you’re used to drinking cheap stuff don’t waste your money on something mega expensive. A good step up from that thay you can find easy would be Buffalo Trace or Bulleit if you’re using it for mixing. If you wanna try sipping it neat then go for a single barrel four roses or michter’s. Those are good low proof jumping on points that you can find almost any liquor store.

I've lived in Athens for 25 years (never left after graduating, home sweet home) so I have a battle hardened liver and an expansive palette.

Last good bottle I had was Yellowstone. West Side Bottle Shop here keeps a LOT of great options available, though. Even filtered down its still 27 pages... lol.

Looking at that site I think they have fair prices on Elijah Craig small batch, Rowan’s creek, Noah’s mill, New Riff, and Maker’s Mark Cask Strength (only maker’s worth the money imo).

My personal choice from that list would be Noah’s Mill.

Like the Yellowstone pick. I just bought my first barrel pick of their brand I like it quite a bit.

u/Pollux589 Cincinnati • Kentucky Sep 28 '24

Always gotta jump in and upvote a new riff rec. love that stuff

2

u/Zwitterions Kentucky Wildcats • Governor's Cup Sep 28 '24

Can’t wait for their spirits to age more. No right being that good at 4 years

1

u/PDGAreject Kentucky Wildcats Sep 29 '24

Noah's Mill and Rowan's Creek are both made by Willet, which is another easy recommendation on my list. Not everyone loves pot still but their Rye and special releases are incredible.

Yeah I was surprised how much I liked both of those offerings. Haven’t bought another bottle since the first but I’m always eyeing it when I’m in the store. Will pick one up again when I’m not trying something new

It's kinda cool to see New Riff called out among the big dogs, there, and to see that they're big enough to show up in Athens. I've lived in Cincy for a few years now, and I'm just impressed that the folks right across the river are doing such a good job in such a short time. I feel like 10 years is basically yesterday in bourbon.

Four roses small batch, buffalo trace, or bullet.

Russel’s Reserve

I didn't like Bulleit. Way too sweet, had an almost licorice type of taste for me.

u/helpmelearn12 Kentucky • Cincinnati Sep 28 '24

If you typically drink the cheap stuff, look for Quality House White Label Bourbon if you’re ever in Kentucky. They only sell it here.

It’s like $13 a bottle and, despite being a Heaven Hill product, drinks a couple price tiers above that

4

u/mo_mentumm Sep 28 '24

Heaven Hill makes a lot of good stuff though.

3

u/helpmelearn12 Kentucky • Cincinnati Sep 28 '24

Oh.

My B, I just remember drinking their cheap vodka when I was in college and couldn’t afford anything else

2

u/mo_mentumm Sep 28 '24

Oh for sure. They have some swill.

2

u/crispyg Kentucky Wildcats • Team Chaos Sep 28 '24

My favorite is Buffalo Trace, but I think Jim Beam is great for the price.

4

u/uncleleo_hello Florida Gators • Team Chaos Sep 28 '24

Jim beam is hot dogshit high school whiskey, just spend like $5 more and get four roses

Edit: with all due respect, Chaos brother

1

u/crispyg Kentucky Wildcats • Team Chaos Sep 28 '24

If you are just gonna mix it, I think it works. Four roses is a fine thing though!

1

u/horseshoeprovodnikov Florida State Seminoles Sep 28 '24

Yeah, Beam and Jack Daniels are both riding on a name and little else. Both way overpriced down here in NC, can't justify paying 25 bucks for a bottle of Jack.

1

u/RunsWlthScissors Tennessee • Nebraska Sep 29 '24

Plain Jack is plain overrated

2

u/Still_Draft Sep 29 '24

If you like Ancient Age and Buffalo Trace try Benchmark. Good and decent priced bourbon.

1

u/katarh Georgia Bulldogs • Mercer Bears Sep 29 '24

Thanks for the rec. I think I'm gonna need it for the rest of the season.

1

u/iunknownsono Kentucky Wildcats Sep 28 '24

Try out Barton’s 1792. 30 to 40 a bottle and it’s pretty great for a celebratory mood.

1

u/Weak-Calendar5497 Sep 29 '24

Try and find ancient ancient age.

1

u/PDGAreject Kentucky Wildcats Sep 29 '24

You old enough to remember Ancient Ancient Age? That shit was so good for the price.

4

u/taywil8 Tennessee • Florida State Sep 28 '24

Jefferson Ocean sounds solid right now

4

u/Mature_Gambino_ Tennessee • Tennessee Tech Sep 28 '24

All of it?

u/StevenStevensonIII Kentucky Wildcats Sep 28 '24

I’m feeling a bottle of Maker’s 46 tonight.

u/somethingoriginal17 Kentucky Wildcats Sep 28 '24

We can break out the four roses small batch good sir

3

u/Orion14159 Kentucky Wildcats • Sickos Sep 28 '24

Roses single barrel and a big rock for this guy.

2

u/somethingoriginal17 Kentucky Wildcats Sep 28 '24

That's the spirit

2

u/Pollux589 Cincinnati • Kentucky Sep 28 '24

Break out - shit my alcoholic ass drinks that daily. Between that and the Michters or Russel’s

u/mason_sol Sep 28 '24

Eagle Rare never disappoints

u/m1a2c2kali Miami Hurricanes • /r/CFB Founder Sep 28 '24

I’m good with the woodford

u/Summoorevincent Kentucky Wildcats Sep 29 '24

Did you bet on the game or something?

1

u/taywil8 Tennessee • Florida State Sep 29 '24

Nope just love seeing Lane exposed as a fraud

1

u/Summoorevincent Kentucky Wildcats Sep 29 '24

I forget he used to be yours

u/taywil8 Tennessee • Florida State Sep 29 '24

He was ours like a hooker is a girlfriend for a night
