I really really like the Jim Beam Black.
Based on NadB's suggestion I bought a bottle of the Wild Turkey 101. I like the taste, but after one or two good drinks my heart starts pounding, especially when I lay down to go to bed. I can hear/feel my heart beating in my ear and it keeps me awake. I don't think the 101 agrees with me for some reason. They do have an 80 proof vesion so perhaps I will try that one.
Stick to the 80 proof, unless you want to pretend to be Clint Eastwood. :DQuote:

I'm switching back to Knob Creek as my normal drink after finishing off a bottle of Maker's Mark finally. KC's just a little bit smoother than MM. Gentleman Jack is right out. I may try Jim Beam Black or JW Black based on recommendations here.
Dude. I'll add you to my BB&B "Friends" list if I ever figure out how it works. :)Quote:

Glenrothes (speyside) not found in US until a couple of years ago. Very nice, and the short squatty bottle packs better for the road trips.
For a little different experience look for a cask strength bottle of any of the single malts. You will typically need to cut this with a little water, but will show you just how full they can be in the cask.
Around here the house brand is Turkey. But a very good and generally less expensive favorite is Dickel black label. A real bourbon flavor, just a little smokey.
Sorry for the late reply Rabidawg. Blanton's if you can find it is around $45 per 750ml. Eagle Rare I really recommend - about $34 per 750 ml. Bulliet the upper $20's. I'm drinking Jim Beam Black now. It is really good and probably the best value along with Bulliet. I can buy a 1.5 liter bottle for upper $20's. These are Houston Spec's prices.
Anyone here been to Spec's in downtown Houston. Three full city blocks - an adult beverage playground. :rolleyes4:
I tried the Gentleman Jack but didn't care for it for some reason. The Single Barrel Jack is still my favorite when I can splurge.Quote:
