Canadian whiskey is great for mixing and very reasonably priced. Black Velvet Reserve is one of the best bottles you can score for <$15.

And remember that old crow is only considered whisky over grain neutral spirits by a 2% margin.

Old Crow is straight bourbon so it's 100% legit bourbon. Crappy, but legit.

Splurged this week on crown honey. But I'm about to switch to Ezra Brooks because I miss the potency and flavor. That 90 proof is hard to deny.

I used to get it for $23 like two years ago before it blew up. You can get it around here for $25 or so.

But I bought a bottle of Kirkland Signature. At $30, it comes out about the same price per ml as a $25 Buffalo Trace. I would drink Buffalo Trace all day over this. It's not as good as I thought it was that time I had it when I was drunk. Its made in Tennessee, so it has kind of a Jack Daniels aftertaste.


By the way, go to Kentucky. Go tour Buffalo Trace Distillery. It is the best tour, of anything, that I have ever been on.

Because I did that and Buffalo Trace was the best and the rest are dumb as hell in comparison. Although I did learn that the expensive Four Roses is good as hell while the cheap one is poo poo.

Tried 4 roses the other day on a friends advice. Wasn't TERRIBLE, but wasn't amazing either. A solid B to B- I'd say. I had a drink for free, how much does a bottle run?

Because some of us are too old to squat with our heels still on the ground, so look silly drinking it.

Pfff. Cheap whiskey. I only buy expensive bottles of paint thinner that I have created an elaborate ritual around drinking while looking down my nose at plebs. "This tastes so good!" I will say, and everyone will believe it because the bottle cost $200.00. Even I will believe it. Mmmmmm.

Price was around $17 iirc for my city. Pretty okay stuff, but tbh I'd rather have Old Crow Reserve. I probably just have weird taste buds.

Drinking Old Crow Reserve makes going back to Evan Williams taste like sugar water.

My sense of smell is extremely poor, so I'm a bigger fan of cheap whiskey than I am more classy and expensive brands. Kentucky Gentleman and Evan Williams are my two favorites. Jim Beam is incredibly bland tasting so it's pretty great to shoot.

I got a bottle of the $15 Trader Joe's Bourbon the other day and while it's not something I would drink neat, I've made pretty delicious Old Fashioneds, Sours, and Boulevardiers.

I am going on the tour next week and trace is on the list of stops. Went on it before last year to. Most of the distillies were eh but the willet tour was amazing. Small time and not as big as buffalo is, but their operation and them just being proud for making stuff people like was great.
