re: Whiskey/Bourbon/Scotch appreciation thread Volume II

Is this the best sub-$50 bourbon ($28 a bottle)?

I haven’t tried it yet. Hocus Pokus said they can’t keep it on the shelves. My BIL had a party with a blind taste testing of ten bottles under $50, this one won by mile.

I grabbed it today at Harvest.

Have you tried the rendezvous rye?

---

It's a solid rye. I've had it and some store barrel picks of it and they're all good. Now, it's way different from Angels Envy Rye which is really sweet and almost dessert like. Rendezvous is a good classic rye with lots of spice and mint and some earthy qualities.

Go Vikes...

I recently saw a picture of someone's bourbon collection on this thread (I believe it was this thread). The collection was nothing short of stellar -- just incredible. Had to be 100 + bottles and lots of rare stuff.

Can anyone point me to that page in the thread?

Has anyone tried Kentucky Owl Rye Batch 1 side by side with Batch 2? I love batch 1, so just curious

I finally finished a bottle of Kentucky Owl Batch 1 this weekend. I wasn't a big fan and used it to make Old Fashion's. I have never tried Batch 2 but will likely not drink my other Batch 1.

If anyone in or around BR wants to buy it at my cost or trade for it shoot me an e-mail @ jflsufan@gmail.com

That was it! Thanks so much! Wanting to show some buddies the setup

I used that guys set up to show my wife I'm actually not obnoxious at all with my whiskey collection

Who all is making the safety meeting on the 13th prior to the Pappizzzz festivities?

Can someone recommend a bourbon for a novice?

Requirements:

--I want to drink it neat.

--No artificial flavoring.

--I'd prefer a richer, smoother bourbon. However, I don't want one that is boring. I'd prefer a flavor profile of vanilla and/or caramel. Not something that is spicy or cinnamon.

--Pictured below, I've tried Jefferson's and while it was drinkable, I found it to be unexciting. I've also tried Lexington's and didn't like it. However, I did like Russell's.
