The original bar is vintage 1940’s. Handmade by one of my wife’s uncles. is in the man cave.

That boom box...always felt like I should have bought stock in a battery company.

How is that Caribbean Cask? I very much dig their double wood

 

[BigN8]

I'll tell you as soon as I crack it open. My buddy swears by it. Today is the last day of my sober January alcohol fast. Like you I've had the oak, but not this one.

I made some Gold Rush(es) (Bourbon, lemon juice, honey syrup) last night with 1792. First time, they were really good!

@drewkaree I have gone through a bottle of the Angels Envy Caribbean Rum Cask and thought it was very good. I have some more expensive bourbons such as an Old Forrester Birthday bourbon but don’t consider them necessarily “better”.
For a good “bang for the buck” I like the Tullamore Dew Caribbean rum cask also nice for the money - though not a bourbon

Lifelong Kentuckian here.. for thanksgiving in Lexington my family always drinks woodford deserve double Oaked. A fine drink for the money. But also, around the holidays I love to send the guys on my shift at work a giant 1.75 bottle of Evan Williams to sustain them through the holidays... never heard any complaints there either

I have found that “Free” bourbon does have a particularly pleasing taste!

 

[TexAg2010]

@kgower Bulleit is my go-to for balance of price and taste as well. Although I prefer to craft an Old Fashioned with their Rye.

That's good stuff. Woodford is my go to for a night out.

I've found 4 Roses to be an excellent value Bourbon for everyday drinks.

Ratios? This sounds good, especially for those of us further north during the cole winter months.

I've got lots of higher priced bourbons on my shelf, but everytime I'm needing a restock of something good for a low cost, in my personal opinion Evan Williams Bottled In Bond cannot be beat.

"Blackened" named for the metallica song In partnership with the band. I admit, I wanted it just for the cool name LOL (learned to play guitar with their tunes)

Im enjoying it....not as harsh as I would expect from the name, but strong.

I may also have a Blanton's problem

I beg your pardon my friend. You don't have a Blanton's problem.There is no problem until you start running low or God forbid , out !!

 

[BigN8]

I can't ever seem to get my hands on any Blanton's unless I'm at a high end steak restaurant and they want a crap load of money for it.

I'm sometimes lucky to find a bottle or two when we're in Atlanta (there's one place that'll slap your name on a bottle whenever they get some in if you get on their waiting list). Admittedly two Christmases ago we were visiting family up in Vermont. Flew into Boston and hit every liquor store in New Hampshire between Boston and Vermont (tax free in NH). Found 3 bottles sitting on a store cart by the register for $59/piece, and of course grabbed em all.
