Bourbon

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Blanton’s is a fine tipple. I’ve had some of that before. Lovely stuff.

 

If you didn’t know, the bottle tops can be collected, as different tops have the horse in various stages of gallop. It’s a nice touch.

 

The eldest son has nabbed the top when I've emptied said contents. Thanks for the info G, rep due when I can. Enjoy your Basil Hayden, never heard of it, so let us know what it is like mate.

PS - there are 8 tops to collect. See the letter by the rear hoof of the horse. When you get all eight it spells out BLANTONS and shows the horse in different stages of the gallop.

Cheers, but at the price it costs I doubt I'll be supping 8 bottles of it mate.

Long term project!

I still much prefer American stuff to Scotch. I ventured back for a bit with some J&B but the taste reminds me too much of my whiskey and lemonade days as a youngster and the injuries that would ensue.

 

I got some gentleman jack instead and could drink it all day.

Exact opposite with me mate (until I quit drinking).

 

We were into G n R and all that in the early 90s, so obviously like sad acts we smoked marlboro and drank JD. Too many cringeworthy moments and an incident of seriously overdoing it meant I could never drink Jack again by the time I was 19.

Had a drop of Basil Hayden last night. Lovely bourbon. I tasted caramel, vanilla, and a bit of spice in the finish.

Cracking open my Christmas bottle of Woodford Reserve later whilst watching Die Hard

[Lee909]

Love Woodford

 

JD is overpriced shite

Its not expensive but yu may aswell buy any old shop brand instead. Not in the same league as Bullet/Woodford reserve etc

Just finished the last of my bottle of Old Forester.

highly recommended

 

 

 

Luckily i have a bottle of The Kraken Rum to open now

I don't drink loads but drink regular if that makes sense, unless I'm on a night out then I end up rotten.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I've been suffering all day with a fucking hangover from hell. Just lost my willpower and cracked open that Blanton's...oh I say, nice tipple this is. Better stick to the three or four like. 

[Guest]

Indeed.

 

I struggle to remember what happened to the limo driver in Die Hard. I guess there's only way to find out...

I see this on offer sometimes, is it a decent Bourbon? I had some Bullitt recently which was nice, how does it compare with others?

[Lee909]

I'll have one but keep the ice

It dilutes the taste and smell loads

 

Only ice if im mixing my drink

Yeah it’s lovely. Of the relatively cheaper bourbons like Buffalo trace and Bulleit I’d say this is the best.
