1835

[lonestarag]

Woodford Reserve, buffalo trace, and weller. I like Texas beer and Kentucky bourbon.

THIS


same boat. 40 Creek and Seven Up is my choice for a night of hog hunting
SMOOTH.

[Hunter_Man]

anyone tried JR Ewing? I like it a lot for it's price range. very smooth, and has a heavy oak flavor.

TX bourbon is my favorite right now for under 50$...next would be JR Ewing, followed by my own that I make! I mess around a little with oak barrels from deepsouthbarrels.com and use vodka and their "bourbon essences" and age it for about 4 months. comes out amazingly good.

Turkey.

[Mike Javi Cooper]

Bulleit straight up or with a single ice cube if the wife is watching..

[James]

Crown, rebeka creek, jack, makers mark, Wellers

[Mavrick_ET]

1835 is really good IMO. Soon as I get back to TX thats one of the first things I'm buying!

[treestand]

Silver Star is the best Texas sipping whiskey I've ever had. The same brewery makes 1835 for Spec' s but their own label is far superior.

My old man's bourbon was Jack Daniel's, so I drink that on certain anniversaries.

I've tried a couple but haven't found 'mine,' yet. I hated Buffalo Trace, really liked Eagle Rare.

[npe001]

Rebecca Creek.

[lab man]

Buffalo Trace, Angels Envy, Weller and Eagle Rare in that order.

I see a few others listed that I have not tried yet but intend too.

[bloodstick]

I have been on the Jack D Single Barrel kick since I discovered it a couple months ago. Much better taste than the old #7.This stuff is legit.
I used to be cheap and drink Crown, but have really gotten into some of the other flavors. Really like Woodford Reserve which is my wifes favorite.

FYI the flavored whiskeys like Jim Beam Maple and the Jack D Tennessee Honey is disgusting. Like to make me gag

[TXPredatorMafia]

I'm a Forty Creek guy myself, but I do like my Canadian Hunter!!!!! lol Say what you want but if Im gonna mix it Ill take that any day.

[texsdr]

TX is my favorite.

[ajm2nac]

been a die hard crown consumer for the last 25 years. my wifes an accountant for a Canadian company, and makes trips over there and always brings back there limited, which is better then any that we can get over here in the sates.

[jb1312]

Pendleton for me.

Same here. I like the little hint of vanilla bean. I've heard good things about Whitmeyers made here in Houston.

[HillCoBowHunter]

Rebecca Creek
Blanton's
Crown

Still need to get my hands on some TX and try it. It's always sold out when I think to look for it.

[highspeed]

Dr. Ezra's Secret Elixir. Cures everything from worms to wet farts. Old Ezra is my go-to. Hard to find, but it tastes good to me and its 101 proof...not that sissy 80 proof Jack and Jim. 1835 and Maker's 46 are good too.

[Heath]

Makers is still my go to.

I tend to side with Buffalo Trace and Four Roses after visiting their distillery's on my bachelor party. Also enjoy TX Whiskey and Garrison Bros.

[OUTDOORSMANEVERETT]

These have been my two lately for weekly sipping (straight chilled no ice). Great taste and the price point is right.

Rebecca Creek

Firestone and Robertson

[meltingfeather]

Buffalo Trace is hard to beat, especially for the money.

Corner Creek does it though... man that is good stuff!

[.270]

Good thread, there. Writing new stuff to try. 1835 is my wife's favorite bourbon. My bourbon stash doesn't last as long since I turned her into a whiskey girl. JR Ewing, I really enjoyed it plus it has a cool bottle.

[Tx_Wader]

Rebecca Creek

bulleit bourbon...this is good stuff too.

[35remington]

Another vote for Woodford Reserve. I've had a lot of spirits, and it really impressed me.

[Throwin Darts]

You guys drinking Crown and Jack need to get out more. The stuff that is out there these days will make you put that stuff down for good and lose all those mixers.

Here are my favorites with Watkins (available at Total Wine) holding #1 by a looooong margin. Best part is that its $17 a bottle too. I'd drink this $17 stuff over anything higher priced. Its that good.

Garrison Bros...Great Texas Bourbon. They made a very small and limited (also pricey) batch of cowboy bourbon that is probably the best bourbon I have had...wish they had more of it

Hey, quit twisting my arm. Ow, that hurts! Ok, stop. I'll go buy all 3 of these tonight on my way home.

[boogieandbride]

Woodford and Rebecca for me. Before this is was Makers and still like it.

[WARDEN]

jim beam black , if you haven't tried it your missing out

[Texifornia]

Hate to break it to some of y'all but Jack Daniels isn't bourbon. Just ask any Tennessee Squire.

[Jackhawk 9000]

Unfortunately I have a taste for the rare stuff. Eagle Rare 17yr, George T Stagg, William Larue Weller, Pappy Van Winkle, etc...

As far as stuff you can find on shelves I like Eagle Rare, Blantons, Stagg Jr., Buffalo Trace, and of course good ol Jack Daniels.

[Mayhem]

Knob Creek for me.

[Tommyh]

ive had 1835 and rebecca creek brown water. theyre both pretty harsh on the tongue and need something to go with them. I am by no means an aficionado but i know i can drink the hell out of some jamesons.

[El Forajido]

[Gixxer]

James beam with diet coke

Will always be my favorite.

[ConYou85]

Crown Royal with just a splash of sprite it my Go to drink, have a bottle of 1835 it's ok not my favorite.

[dezigirl78]

Rebecca/40 creek for drinking
Wild turkey honey for shooting, but that is very very rare for any of the above as I am strictly a CoorsLight gal these days.

[Slow-n-steady]

Knob Creek for me but i definately want to try some of the others i'm seeing on here.

[35remington]

Y'all made the end of my week real nice!

The Jefferson's Ocean that DocMay referenced is aged in barrels located on a ship belonging to a relative of Jacques Cousteau. There are 4 levels of Jefferson, and it is the highest. I decided to start at the bottom and work my way up.

If any of y'all have a Twin Liquors in your town, they're running a 15% off special on bourbon until I think May 5.

[Uncle Saggy]

Templeton

[Rakkasan2187]

Bookers. End of story.

[CWP]

Bought my first bottle of Ranger Creek 36 and have to say...I am disappointed. First 2-3 sips of each glass are good, almost sweet. But gets less good with each sip thereafter. Still thinking Willets is the first choice.

[Big Mike M]

Long time Crown drinker. Started hitting the R&R Reserve and have backed off on the Crown. Rebecca Creek and Forty Creek are both really good, but didn't pass the hangover test. I don't like waking up feeling like crap when I'm hunting and fishing. I will stick with R&R Reserve and Crown for now.

[BUCKSTAR]

Wild Turkey 101

This is my current favorite.

Red River has long been a favorite of mine, but this latest bottle is way different. The color is more clear red, and it tastes like someone dumped a bunch of red hots into the barrel. Lots of cinnamon and spice in this bottle. Kinda bummed. Still gonna finish it though.

[.270]

Derby drank.
