Love a good bourbon (which is made in Kentucky and nowhere else ). Unfortunately I live in a state with government ABC stores, so the selection is somewhat limited. I have to suffer through with the likes of Knob Creek, Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace. We're barely pulling through...

One of my sons-in-law (clumsy term) is a bourbon collector and investor. He buys future lots of small batch bourbons as well as at sales and auctions. I am very happy to enjoy the "trickle down" from him (figuratively, of course).Love a good bourbon (which is made in Kentucky and nowhere else ).

Hi Tim,
Yes, Bourbon is kentucky and "Scotch" is Scotland. The interesting thing is that Buffalo Trace is ultimately the maker of Sazerac, i believe. The regular stuff if ok...but the 18-year Rye is stunning. Perhaps if they can source Buffalo trace, someone there can do a special order for you to try?
thank for that! Looks interesting. I could do my own list of single malt whiskys (ie, scotches). Jack - if you're interestd, could post it tonite, ranked and with a few comments
yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!! :d
Jack, here you go. My ranking. (Y) means i own them and know them well. Some notes though not good ones frankly. The rankings means that anything with a '0' is the top of the list and all those are ranked relatively equally, and the next category follows. Since there are 4 whiskys in the top category, the next category starts at 5. You get the basic idea.
let me know if you've any other questions! happy to share my opinion.
