1. Hmm. Which brand do you prefer? nt

[JVS]

2. Evan Williams. 1.75 L for $20!

WOOOOOOO!

Actually, since I drank single malt scotch last week, this stuff is tasting a bit plain. If I'm looking for respectable bourbon, I like Wild Turkey, and I love their rye. If I have more money I switch to Knob Creek or Irish Whiskey, maybe scotch.

Evan makes a nice highball though.

9. Get a bottle of Woodford Reserve, a glass, and some ice.

That's all you need.

11. I did a blind 7-way test with bourbon about 3 years ago.

I started drinking bourbon (like a lot of people) with Jim Beam, then went to Jim Beam Black, then Makers Mark, then Knob Creek, then Basil, then Booker's (with Makers Mark being my "everyday" go-to bourbon).

I got to talking with a buddy about bourbon and how it's the most fantastic thing in the whole universe, and he asked if I had ever tried Evan Williams. I was like, sure, in high school, and he said try it again. I went and got a bottle and was knocked out on how great it tasted.

I got my wife to set up a blind test with all of the ones listed above, and Evan Williams won out. Thinking it was a fluke, we tried it again, and the results were the same.

I now only buy Evan Williams for me, but keep bottles of Basil and Knob Creek handy for my snobby friends (a group which gets smaller every year).
