Heading to the Roadhouse tonight for a few sips and listen to a good Blues Band. Old Forrester is on the list fer sippin'
Very Happy

Friday I'll be making a liquor run, I might have to get some more of this stuff. It sure was good & smooth.

I finally found a liquor store in the area that has an AMAZING selection of bourbons, cheap too. Picked up a bottle of Old Forrester's Birthday Bourbon 2008. It's good. Very well balanced. I definitely enjoy drinking it, but there's nothing there that makes me say "Wow!" or make it stand out compared to other bottles in the low $40 price range - I'd rather go for Four Roses Single Barrel or Basil Haydens. Next time I go I think I'll have to pick up a bottle of Rock Hill Farms Single Barrel, since I'm a big Buffalo Trace/ Elmer T Lee/ Eagle Rare/ Blanton's (heck, is there anything they make that isn't awesome?) fan.

Wound up not getting the Old Forrester. I had an itch for Jack Daniels Black Label as it was my birthday this weekend and I haven't had any JD for years. Forgot how it could sneak up on you though, after a couple mixed with spring water and ice I was feeling fine..... drunken

This past weekend I tried the old Rebel Yell, pretty good stuff for the cash.
Yeeee Hawww!

If you can find it, try Virginia Gentleman small batch 90 proof. As smooth as it gets. reasonably priced too.

I recently picked up a bottle of Old Forrester 86 proof. Far from being one the best around but at $12 per bottle it ain't half bad. Makes a respectable Manhattan.
