70 Percent Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 So I figured we should talk a little bit about another nectar of the Gods....Bourbon. And for the sake of space..we can also include Tennessee whisky. A few reasonably priced bourbon(s) that I've enjoyed are: Jim Beam: Black and also Devils Cut Elijah Craig 12yr Old Maker's 46 George Dickel #12 Four Roses Small Batch 90 proof JD Single Barrel Oh..I've included an excerpt from an article I read....a few handy alternative uses …….……….…...................... Alternative Uses for Bourbon Mouthwash: Ethanol kills the bacteria that live in your mouth by denaturing their proteins and dissolving their lipids. Local Anesthetic: Interferes with neural signal transmission, slowing the function of your nervous system but can cause tissue damage due to its ability to break down cells, so it should not be poured on open wounds. Cough Suppressant: A hot toddy can help beat a cold. The vapor breaks up mucus and honey soothes the throat. ++++++++++++++++++ Thanks for listening guys...now me thinks a nightcap is in order...

Smokenscotch Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 My hands down favorite bourbon to date is Knob Creek. I had it in Stratford Ontario many years ago now I always have some in my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigben16 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Bulleit bourbon is a good one to try but makers 46 and bookers are by far my favourites OT87 and cigarbandit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REASON Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Who's tried Basil Hayden's 8yr bourbon? I have been looking at this.... I should just pull the trigger. just looking for some opinions. Bearded gentleman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the dirty sanchez Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Basil Hayden is pretty good stuff. Bottled at a higher proof I think. Lots of toffee and spice. A little water does it good. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Well I missed the last step in the staircase and landed on my knee, some pills and JD Honey on ice will set me straight... or at least until tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps It helps, I have been waiting to pick a bootle up. cask proof I believe. If its like the Bookers then I usually put a bit of water in it but have and will enjoy it straight.

mad_dog Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Makers took some serious heat from that announcement and they've gone back on it, so no need to worry about watered down liquor! And if you're looking for another great bourbon, Woodford Reserve is a great choice. cigarbandit and DoubleDeeStogie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
