Title: Bourbon question. John?
Post by: Chills on Sep 28, 2005, 12:08 PM
So, I checked my local store and they've only got Four Roses. Worth picking up? Mind you, you can't get all that other fancy brands out here!

The alternative is a fine blend called Famous Grouse.

I'm not John,But the Four Roses single barrel bourbon is top of the line. I had a bottle given to me on my birthday.Most excellent. Great mellow flavor.

Thanks. Is the single barrel a better, more expensive version or is it just the basic Four Roses?

It is a better and more expensive than their other bourbons.But I bet their other bourbons are very good quality.

Yay, thanks for helping out.

That site was too funny:
"You must be of legal drinking age in your country of residence to enter FourRoses.us"

 :)

Four Roses it is then!

aw yeah, that stuff is the shiznit.  if there's no "fancy" labels there, try some Jim Beam Black label or Heaven Hill...you can usually find those anywhere...

then, if the mood is for pure drunkeness, go for Wild Turkey.  ;)

But you must be prepared to feel fucked up, and to have a shit-ass hangover the next day.  :)

But yes.  Turkey will do if there is nothing else.

Anyone ever dive into the Kentucky Gentlemen?  I think it's like 12 bucks for a handle.  Reaaaaaaaaaaal fucked up tasting, but it's cheap and it'll get you drunk.

Also, Mellow Corn is a good, cheap ass bottle.

If you're ever stuck with bourbon that's not worth drinking, buy some beer that's not worth drinking and do boilermakers.

Kentucky Gentlemen is what we call rot gut, and for good reason.  At least take a step up and go with Kentucky Tavern, that's about as cheap as I can go without physically feeling the liver damage I'm doing to myself.   mmmmmmm...liver damage ;)
