I started a Burbon thread on RP that I really enjoyed.. I started my Bourbon adventure about 6 moths ago and I have become a huge fan.. My first venture was Buffalo Trace. At Jay Birds and Mat's suggestion I tried Angels Envy.. I love it period. Another poster on RP suggested Jefferson's.. I tried it and now its a close second to Angels Envy.. Like I said, I have discovered that Bourbon is a relished vice like beer and cigars.. I'm open to suggestions... I bought a bottle of Basil Haydens tonight made by Wild Turkey.. Disappointed. Kind of lacking in flavor and just to easy and smooth. No bite.

The night of the podcast we had a bottle of McKenna 10 year old. Not a fan of the regular McKenna but the 10 yr old was really good.
I'm starting to like the high rye bourbons. I have a couple of bottles in the cabinet.

I have a couple of bottles in the cabinet. I also enjoyed it. My first experience with McKenna. First few sips had some bite. After that, it was smooth sailing. It was just dry enough as well. I’ll probably be adding a few high ryes to the rotation myself. |

Hell, I live in Broussard and Nu Nu s is my go to spot for booze. Esteban, the short Spanish dude is a wealth of liquor info. |

I spoke with the other guy that is always around the liquor section. Not sure of his name. But I agree, both of them are always really helpful.

One of my favorites is Eagle Rare. I’m kind of on a rum cycle right now, much cheaper than whiskey, even high end.

Oh wow, didn’t know it was in low supply. I’m guessing if you can’t find it at Nunu’s, Marcello’s, or Ambassador Caffery W&S, May be hard to get. But I used to be able to easily find it at Albertsons or super 1

But I used to be able to easily find it at Albertsons or super 1 Come to think of it, the first bottle of bourbon I ever bought on my own was Eagle Rare. It was at Albertsons on Ambassador back when the liquor was in an adjacent wing of the building. I did it at Mel Rock's suggestion. I've been taking his advice ever since.
And, it's cost me a helluva lot of money.

I bet you have to admit, it has been money well spent. Life is short and certainly deserves each and every indulgence. That is the way I look at it. |
