We will be in touch
Have been drinking Scotch/Irish for a decade now, and know my way around whisky. Am thinking of dipping into the above but have only ever had a couple of JD's with coke.
Looking for recommendations, but as a novice don't want to pay silly money, and preferably something easily obtained in the UK.
I would go for Jim Beam rather than JD. And no coke!
try jd single barrel
jd gentelmen jack
woodford reserve
knob creek
Enjoying a large Jefferson's as I type,wood and cork stopper to re-create a spag western is a bonus
OK, so I know that this is massively off piste here, but if ever you see any Pappy van Winkle, sell a kidney, rob a bank, whatever, just be sure to try it!
Jack Daniels here----on the rocks with a splash of water
as Cozz said, Knob creek is a good one as well
Makers Mark or Woodford Reserve are 2 of my favourites , we're about halfway through a bottle of Jack Daniels silver select single barrel that's quite nice too.
Aldi's bourbon is good, cheap as chips and lovely for sipping neat.
JD is nice on its own and buffalo trace a buillit or however you spell it.
IME there's less of an extreme variance with bourbon than scotch so almost all bourbon is good, where as some scotch makes me gag.
Makers Mark is the correct answer.
Only tried JD single barrel which was good
Woodford Reserve or Buffalo Trace would be my vote.
Makers Mark
Woodford Reserve when ASDA have it on special offer
Buffalo Trace is good when you don't want to stretch to Makers Mark
Woodford Reserve or Makers Mark on the rocks
M&s sell Elijah Craig in some of their stores for 26 quid about the best bourbon for the price you can get. If you want better try basil Hayden or four roses single barrel or special reserve.
Another vote for Makers Mark and Woodford Reserve.
Another vote for Woodford Reserve here.
what does everyone like as a mixer, ginger ale?
Woodford, Knob Creek, Makers Mark and Blantons..
I was always a Jim beam fan but only drink the stuff when in a pub / party setting where sadly JD seems more readily available then JB.
Mixed with coke, it was my big session drink as I seemed to be able to drink massive quantities of the stuff without getting out of hand and remained relatively well behaved. I also never suffered from a hang over on it, no matter how much I had.
