FalconFN Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I don't know anything about bourbon but I need to buy a bottle as a gift, does anyone drink it and if so do you have any recommendations for a decent bottle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossberg-operator Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Woodford Reserve. Good, not expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klem Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 For readily available you can't beat Bulleit.... quite a high rye content so might not be to everyone's taste but very very drinkable. Usually around £25-30 Makers Mark is also a decent a drink Tesco near us have started stocking Knob Creek... excellent drink and one of my personal favourites for £30-40 mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I do like a bottle of Wild Turkey from time to time... Jim Beam honey is a nice drink, too. Less smokey than the Jack Daniels' version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazb1967 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 whichever one is on special, I personally can't tell the difference once you add coke and I have tried most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Thanks for the replies, I'll go for either wild Turkey and woodford reserve. The only thing I know for sure is that there will be no coke getting anywhere near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat or with a bit of ice. Can't stand the taste of any whiskies when mixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Just noticed on Amazon Prime lightning deals... 8am... Wild Turkey 101. I got a bottle on Amazon Prime a few months ago and the discount was decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrM Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Saw one in Tesco called Knob Creek - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Definitely not JD... One lovely little number is called Old Grandad - Very, very nice. Day to day use, Knob Creek, Makers Mark or, harder to find, but worth the effort Four Roses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humperdingle Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Received a bottle of Evan Williams 1783 small batch bourbon delivered today... I'll report back later, after a tipple. Mixed reviews online, but I know what I like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadkill Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 only just started the bourbon route after 36 years on the planet, first I had jd but now moved to jim beam both with coke. Real whiskey drinkers will hate the fact its mixed but really enjoy the taste and thanks for the above as will have to try some of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I played safe in the end and went for woodfords reserve, it was on offer at waitrose for £23 too. Thanks for all the suggestions, much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed reviews online, but I know what I like Mmm, nice. Verrrry different from JD or JB. Had a small measure, neat, for sipping. For once in my life, the tasting notes online actually agreed with me only just started the bourbon route after 36 years on the planet, first I had jd but now moved to jim beam both with coke. Real whiskey drinkers will hate the fact its mixed but really enjoy the taste and thanks for the above as will have to try some of them Drink it how you like it, mate! I'm the opposite, though. To me it tastes minging with Coke. I also like brussel sprouts but not in the same glass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
