Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

[chieffan]

Tin Cup is excellent,
Buffalo Trace ( Older than the US).
Bulleit has been a standard over the holidays.

I have to put a plug in for a bottle of Templeton Rye. It was Al Capone favorite, they found the recipe after it’d been lost a while ago and we’re doing small batch, went national a few years back.I love the flavor!

This was originally made in the small town of Templeton, Iowa about 65 miles North of me. When demand overrode their production capacity they sold out to a distiller in Ill. Got into trouble as the label still said Made in Iowa. Got that ironed out and went national with the product. Mighty good sipping rye, but expensive. Last I looked it was over $40 a pint.
Guess I will stay with Canadian Reserve for a whisky sour.

Long ago when I was working at the local Budweiser brewery Bud was the only beer that used toasted barley in Bock Beer. It made it dark and added to the flavor. All the other world brewers used dyes. I doubt it's that way anymore but unique for its day.

I was always a fan of Amberbock!

No one in my area had Old Forester Rye in stock for months, unless I wanted to pay a premium. I don't reward such behavior. TW's website said they'd have it in stock in Nov, then Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, and finally they stopped saying when. I checked their website once a week, and yesterday, they had it: 1L for $29. Picked up a bottle today, but I'm a driver for my wife tonight so no tippy sippy until tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Highland park is a good scotch that I get as you can see it's empty lol

Initial thoughts on OF Rye. 1st sip. Meh. 2nd sip. Hmmm. 3rd sip. Oh, I like this! People talk about green apple and banana flavors, and that's what I expected to taste. Nope, didn't get either of those. By the third sip, I was tasting the Christmas cake spices I love in a less-sweet rye whiskey. The OF Rye nailed it for me.
