Bourbon of the Month Club
« on: June 19, 2023, 11:57:29 PM »
Back in the days before Falling In Love, and going broke because of that, I had a really nice shelf of Bourbon whiskies in Bogie's Bunker.
 
The strategy is to buy a bottle every month, and consume no more than half of it, then relegate it to The Bar, where it is then reserved for when friends show up.
 
Only real criteria is that it really should be decent at two ounces over ice in a rocks glass. No mixers, no water.
 
Got the idea this month again - first of the month, I picked up a bottle of this...

Not bad, considering... Outfit is based out of Bardstown and... St. Louis... so what the heck. I think I have maybe two or three more servings, and then it goes on the shelf.
 
I'll be adding a bottle of Blanton's when I see it. Any other ideas?

Not a bourbon, but Glengoolie Blue is a heck of a scotch if you can find it.

Maker's Mark is just nice to have around.

Colonel Taylor is pretty nice too.

Next month is probably going to be Knob Creek...
 
When I had the big house in the 'burbs, the theater's bathroom had a shelf around the top, and I had a whole bunch of empty Knob Creek bottles lined up - I saved 'em from the twice yearly machine gun shoot trips...

I've never cared much for bourbon at all, but if I had to choose, I'd take Wild Turkey 101.

I am getting ready to visit some friends in Dana Point and was thinking of taking down a bottle of Angel's Envy to enjoy but then I got cheap and decided to take down my unopened bottle of 12 year old Tullamore Dew. I hope he likes it. ;)

Picked up a bottle of Evan Williams 1783... I think I liked the Rebel better.
 
Seems like everyone and their brother in East Jeebus, New Jersey is making "craft bourbon."

If you haven't tried it yet, Buffalo Trace is quite good and reasonably priced.

When I spent  night or two in Estes Park I discovered the Stanley Hotel had a very large whiskey bar. Of the ones I tried I really liked Angel's Envy finished in Caribbean rum barrels. I was doing whiskeys finished in rum barrels that night and of the ones I tried Angel's Envy and Tullamore Dew (although an Irish Whiskey) finished in rum barrels were my favorite.
