For the guys who tried ranger creek I had a recent bottle that wasn't up to par with what I've had in the past, so don't be spurned just yet

Usually drink Pendleton's if I'm mixing. I've always been a beer drinker but am trying to get into some whiskey's/bourbons. I currently have TX, Legacy, Forty Creek, Bird Dog Peach and Rebecca Creek. Saw a bottle of Basil Hayden's the other day that I'm thinking about picking up this week and I really want a bottle of Duke Bourbon. Closest I've found it online is Wichita Falls. Anyone that way willing to buy me a bottle and ship on my dime?

Hochstadters slow and low rock and rye for me. About 30 bucks a fifth but I'm ok with that. Only problem is that it isn't easy to find

I've got a bottle of Yellow Rose in the liquor cabinet that I haven't opened yet. After reading good reviews on it, i might just have to open it on up this evening and give it a shot.

Just toured the Garrison distillery and sampled some of their bourbon. First legal distillery in our great state. Pricey, but very good sipping whiskey.

While trying to find the source of 1835 for some time, I was told by the Specs rep, that 1835 starts out as Buffalo Trace, then gets "tweaked" when bottled. Makes sense cause I drank a ton of both. Your PSA for the day. FWIW

After opening up my Yellow Rose this evening, and it definitely didn't disappoint! Everyone who said it was good stuff was right on. I'm trying my hardest to find a whiskey that it tastes similar to, but I just can't put my finger on it. It doesn't have the sweetness and vanilla taste quite like Firestone and Robertson, but it also doesn't taste identical to Rebecca Creek, or any other Texas whiskey I've had. Guess I'll just have to get another bottle and try to figure it out!

I've only read this ^ far into the thread but Booker's is by far the best out of all I've read here. And yeah, up to this point, I have tried them all. I'm gonna keep reading. Blanton's is a very good straight bourbon also.

This dude nailed it. RC can't hold a candle to your top three choices. I think a couple of the ones mentioned in other posts are Canadian Whiskey and not bourbons. Last edited by sckiller; 05-11-2015 at 11:17 PM. |

"His whiskey is a blend of an 8-year bourbon purchased from another distiller and, per a mandatory statement on the back label, 31-percent grain neutral spirit (GNS, vodka), along with a younger whiskey Cameron says they distill. Blenders, or spirit makers, aren't in any way obligated to spill the booze on their recipes. Cameron says that they produce and distill the "majority" of what goes into each bottle, which might include the GNS, since they also distill vodka at their facilities." http://www.dallasobserver.com/2013-1...d-fakers/full/ |

Take the whiskey called 1835, which is bottled by North Texas Distillers in Lewisville. The name is a salute to the year settlers in Gonzales stood their ground against Mexican troops in what is historically considered the start of the Texas Revolution. The label also reads, "Come and take it," on both the back and front, along with a picture of the iconic cannon that was the seed of the conflict. The words "Texas Made" are printed front and center on the label. It's unlikely that a single speck of Texas, much less the battle of 1835, is actually in any of those bottles. Stretching the term "Made in Texas," the drink is a blend of whiskeys, most or all of them likely from Kentucky, and is only bottled in Texas. The highly astute label reader or whiskey aficionado would be able to discern this, but the average consumer might not. Despite all the Texas banter, the label lacks one key word that is all-telling: "distilled." I wonder why there arent many texas distilled whiskeys? |

Short answer, our weather isn't diverse enough to age the barrels to specs. That's what the people at Rebecca Creek told me during the tour I took. They sent there stuff up north to age. |

Did the tour of garrison brothers last weekend and got a bottle of their single barrel. Good stuff I will say though it is actually cheaper to buy it at specs then at the distillery

This thread is dangerous! Went to Specs looking for Rowan but couldn't find it so I got a bottle of Yellow Rose. Son! This stuff is good! For the non-whiskey drinkers may I suggest William Wolf Pecan Burbon. Doesn't have the heat of normal whiskey and goes down reeaallyy smooth.
