I’m a cheapskate and my go to burbon is four roses small batch. A good three fingers and a cube of ice makes a good drink.

My Go-to.

Old No. 7 is my go-to for a mixer, but this is a fine value:
Couple of ice cubes, and relax.

Also enjoying ER, Dickel 8, Old Tub, Woodford Reserve, Russell 10yr, Larceny, Elijah Craig, some Blanton’s, and may have to crack one of my McKenna 10yr soon. Also just picked up a Knob Creek 9 but will hold off on that.

True Bourbon is made in Kentucky. The Limestone water is key. Just cause some lobbist paid a fed to change rule does not make it so.
Very true! Woodford and Elijah Craig are my go to’s.
Love how the most popular thread in the camping section is really about whiskey. Guess I'm in good company.
Kilchoman makes some phenomenal sherry cask-aged stuff. They're pricey - $120ish a bottle, but hands down the best Islay scotch I've had.
But since I'm in Mexico for a while, I'm moving on to Mezcal...
Laphroaig 10 used to be my go-to because there was one place that sold it at $36 a bottle, but between covid and the added EU taxes on whiskey, that deal finally went away after years.If you must know, whiskey is 'murican and whisky is Scottish.....
I prefer single malts from Islay but some may be too peaty for most people...

Laphroig 10 was my goto for years and then out of nowhere it's up to $56 a bottle if you can find it for that. Fuckers.

I really like Maker's Mark, and it's easy to find. I've tried some of their special editions, but the regular Makers is their best product, in my opinion.
There are other bourbons I like too. Larceny, Rowan's Creek, Buffalo Trace to name a few. A couple of years ago, my wife and I flew into northern Kentucky and spent 3 weeks driving around the south listening to bluegrass on our rental car's XM Radio. We took turns each day being designated driver through the Bourbon Trail. It was pretty awesome. We also ate a lot of BBQ and Cajun seafood. We made a big loop to Barber Motorsports, down to Charleston, up to the Outer Banks, and back to Kentucky for more bourbon before flying home.

Talisker is my go-to as I'm pretty much a Scotch guy (and I'm biased because we have a place on Skye) but I'm finding some really interesting new California distilleries, these guys are making an excellent whiskey;

All this talk about booze and no mention of how to properly enjoy it.
1. Bottle in freezer, because if it freezes it’s garbage.
2. Glass in freezer, or preferably a gel shot glass.
3. Pour, do not add ice like a sub human :)

Last November I rode to Heaven Hill for a rally, and had to buy something from the gift shop. I arrived right at opening time, and there was already a huge line in the gift shop, so I asked, "Are all these people here for a tour or something?" I didn't want to be standing in line all morning, I had riding to do.
One of the employees said "No, they're in line for (some special black label or something), but don't worry, in a few minutes they will announce it's all sold out and most of them will leave"
Sure enough, the announcement came and they all left.
I guess if you want the good stuff, you gotta get there early.

How many of you lot have dug deeper to see who is actually distilling your brews? From a few things I've read a bunch of the ones already mentioned are basically contract brewed the same way some beers are. They might not be as small batch and special as you think they are.
