Bourbon Anyone? (1 Viewer)

It might be it’s out of stock at the VABC stores. And none of the online liquors stores can sell in Virginia.

So I do recall buying it at the Costco off NY Ave in North DC. Don't know if that is closer and who knows if its always in stock there

Strong stuff. 101 proof. Burns at the finish.

Never been a big bourbon drinker. I used to drink quite a bit of scotch in my 20s but I got tired of the way it made me feel the next day so I stopped. It’s just beer and the occasional mojito or margarita now.

Maybe it wasn’t the scotch but the “quite a bit” that did you in?

That kind of bourbon doesn’t apple to me. I like ‘em smooth.

My friends daughter saw this in Costco, Mobile Alabama. I was shocked because I didn’t think they stocked such high end liquor. Yeah it’s cognac, but at Costco?

You get a pallet of them, right?

You can only wake up in a bathtub or next to a stranger so many times.

A fun experience at Boone County distillery
Independence KY. Their small batch is one of my favorite Bourbons.

111.7 proof. Lethal. This is for hard-core drinkers.

Do bourbons have to be made in KY or TN?

Koenig makes good wines but I've also liked their Plum Brandy, a local Slivovitz @ 84 proof.

The guy who ran the Boone County distillery tour said 49 of the 50 states make Bourbon (Hawaii is the only state that doesn’t do Bourbon). The tour guide said Bourbon has to be at least 51% corn mash, and be aged in oak barrels.

Did you taste it?

Did you taste it?

Yes- it was intense.

 

[Johnny Angell]

Yes- it was intense.

At that proof it would be very harsh, I think.

It certainly was. It burned and lingered to the point that it wasn’t enjoyable.

This is not being produced or sold by the Bourbon County distillery right now. Aged 12 years, 90.4 proof. I assume this is a very limited release- goes for over $700/750 ml bottle online now. A little smoother than their regular white label. Good news is the bar told me they will hold the empty bottle for me.

Aged 15 years. 106.8 proof. $25/single shot. Good stuff.

What does the handwritten “small” mean?
