wow - this thread is still going - cool
I assume you've tried the Evan Williams single barrel. If not then go check it out... for a few more bucks than the black label it's some good stuff.Originally Posted by 4shot
I have been drinking whiskey since I was a young child...I used to get hot water, honey and bourbon to sip when I was sick. I could fake a cough with the best of them ever since I was about 7.With that being said, there is nothing better on this planet than Evan Williams. I do like the occasional dram of single malt but the Evan Williams black is the king of them all.

Is Jack Daniels burbon? Neat!
Makers Mark almost exclusively since 1973. Now Benchmark, nearly as good at half the price. Retirement has its costs. Maturity has its benefits.
My favorite bourbon is scotch.
I sent a personal letter to Makers Mark a few years back to talk about when my dad took us down there to the tour prior to my 16th birthday,,, the place was closed and the security guard (bless him) unlocked the place and gave us the tour in spite of being closed... he looked 90 years old... he gave us a tour about prohibition and history that will never be forgotten. It was on a parallel of a WW2 vet on the war.... Us kids were incredibly thankful for his service... never got a reply. To this day I still remember him and rarely get a chance to toast a shot in his memory with Makers Mark. A unique moment in my childhood.
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

a common misconception - and to me any sweetened whiskies should not be confused with bourbon - the only thing you should taste is what is derived from the wood barrel
Technically yes, but it's marketed under the moniker of "Tennessee Whiskey" as are George Dickel products (the other major TN whiskey distiller) to distinguish them from bourbon as both distillers run their distillate through a charcoal filtering process before it's barreled (this is not done with most bourbons).
Huh? The spirit is distilled and then run through a charcoal filtering process before being barreled. No sweeteners are added to Jack Daniels...unless you are talking about the flavored products.

Yes. Ask the important questions. Get the important answers. Scotch vs Whisky; much more important than Big Agnes vs Others.
Sorry,...being a beer drinker I've nothing to contribute here...that johnny is a dull boy indeed.
Getting lost is a way to find yourself.
Hey, I love my beer, too. The fridge in my garage is proof of a collecting mania gone far wrong. Sometimes I even drink them
Also count me in for Knob Creek.
Any booze tastes better on the trail, My fav would be Wild Turkey -80 or 101.
A painter stopped by and left this on my desk today. Seeing as it's going to be 9* again tonight, I just might have to do a little sippin'.

Got that right bro...putting one foot in front of the other isn't that big a deal...what you sip on at the end of the day is.
I'm available if you need help.
Don't get much better than that...only thing to make it better is having a good friend to pass the bottle to...sit around the fire and tell tales all night.
Jim Beam Devils Cut, fairly new, highly recommend it.
Hey, I'm always willing to share with fellow hikers. I'd say stop on by, but you're probably 600 miles from me.
