Bourbon.

Oddly enough, have never tried Wild Turkey either.. It just seems to be the Budweiser of the bourbon world, and have never had an interest in Budweiser either..

Not bourbon, but whiskey, made an Old Fashioned with Amarena Fabbri cherries, Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth, and Sazerac 6-yr tonight. Mighty tasty.

Never had the Bourbon, but Wild Turkey rye is pretty solid.

My dear sir! You are in the post-grad world of cocktails I see! Fabbri cherries and CA Formula! I'm impressed. What brought you to such a place? ~ H

The cherries I think I saw someone on here mention, and the Carpano came out of me being sick of Martini & Rossi and wanting something better. Did some Googling on the interwebs and decided to try to find Carpano or Vya. Failed to find both for months, then found the Carpano on Saturday. At some point during that time I had an old fashioned at the W and they used the Carpano, definitely knew I needed to find it.

So I picked up a bottle of Hudson Four Grain Bourbon after being intrigued for a few weeks seeing it at the liquor store. The color was enticing, and the packaging was pretty cool. I kept resisting though, because I have never been overwhelmed by New York state's bourbon-making tradition. Anyway, to make a long story short, I am running out of medium-priced craft bourbons to try, and have tried most of the over $100 bourbons, so I gave it a shot. Not bad at all. I tasted the very distinct "piney" flavor that Hudson seems known for, and this was a very good (for such a young) bourbon. However, at about $90 for a 750 ml (they only seem to come in 375 ml bottles), seems a bit over-priced.

In a bar in South Carolina, had a really awful bourbon with something like "honey" in the name. Avoid at all costs.

Wild Turkey American Honey?

That was it. The bar tender offered me a taste first, but I declined, and asked her to just pour it for me. That was a mistake.

I'm in Clarksville, TN, and have tomorrow to fill with doing something. Should I try to go to some distilleries in KY? Seems like most of them are 3-4 hours away, which doesn't really seem all that enjoyable to drive there and back. Anything closer to Clarksville or anything else I should consider doing?

I found this particular Bourbon to be extremely disappointing. Bought the 350ml 'Baby' bottle.

Really thought it tasted a bit odd. I don't know much about how it is made but it tasted like there was too much corn in the mash perhaps?

Still have half a bottle sitting at my bar.

I have a bottle of Beam that I picked up in Mexico years ago (with that stupid shake-and-pour nozzle fitting),

If that bothers you, you can just pop it right out with a screwdriver or the like. I don't know why they put those on the duty free bottles, it's annoying as hell...

Bourbon.
