Have you tried Buffalo Trace? GAFfers were high on it in the Maker's Mark thread.

They have Buffalo Trace at this locally owned grocer. I plan to try since I have yet to see an unkind word on it. I'll see if they carry that Benchmark stuff. I tend to prefer Bourbon variety, though I don't like Jack for some reason.

It's it cheap I'm throwing it in coke anyway so even some of the ones that don't taste as good it isn't going to matter much.

When one of my friend's parents came back from Belize they brought some rum back. That was some of the best rum I've tasted.

Eh, those are $5 bottles of wine with a very dodgy history vintage wise. Their 2008, 2009 vintage were considered to be shit poured in a glass (i dunno never tasted it) but their 2011 vintage was apparently good (dunno havent tasted it). The fact that they sell it for $5 though makes me suspicious of the quality involved.

Thats cause Jack is a Tennessee whisky(its been charcoal filtered) and in my opinion overpriced, syrupy sweet trash.

Good entry points into bourbon:
Buffalo Trace
Wild Turkey
Evan Williams 1783
Bulleit
Eagle Rare (sometimes on sale for amazing prices, also tastes amazing)
Makers Mark (also watch for a sale, is under retardedly high supply constraints nowadays)

Trying to get shitty 4 cheep:
Benchmark
Evan Williams green
Jim Beam

in that order

Most of your top list I've tried and liked. Evan Williams is my default cheap stuff.

As for Rum, I am a fan of Sailor Jerry's. For Vodka, I like Tito's and Russian Standard. Russian Standard is very smooth and drinkable.

I get Georgian white wine when I can. A lot of the Slavic and Russian stuff borders on the dessert wine side of things, but there's some stuff that is not too sweet and syrupy. I prefer reds otherwise, namely chianti or merlot.

One time a friend couldn't decide between what rum to buy and was taking forever. So I suggested that Admiral Nelson's was clearly the best because he was an Admiral while Morgan was a Captain and Jerry was just a mere Sailor. And the price differences were an inverse factor of their ranks and access to "off book" money within the Navy.

I had to buy him a bottle of Jerry's to make up for it.

At the moment I only have different kinds of whiskey at home. I should invest in some other liquors.

Blanton's bourbon is pretty good. I'd put it next to Maker's Mark in quality.

True. Speaking of rum, ive been pretty much on this tip recently, drinking it makes me feel like a pirate and it mixes amazingly with dr. pepper:

This plus dr pepper cherry is my go to lately. I usually squeeze a little lime in it. Taste's just like Dr. Slice

And for those that don't remember Dr. Slice here you go:

Goddamn!

I don't really like drinking but 2 or 3 times a year. Late last year I tasted Johnnie Walker Black and it was pretty goddamn good. And I love me some Single Barrel Jack Daniel's.

But I do want a liquor collection for random drinks to relax and for when guests come over. I'm just pretty ignorant about what's good

I grew up on McCormick's and Popov

holy hell at bourbon stash.

did some experimental drinking the other night with the new red bulls:

silver is awful....idk how you screw up lime. tasted like it was cut with tonic.
red was pretty foul as well...tasted a bit like tussin.
blue actually came out decent. would probably be aces with some blueberry vodka.

don't live in lexington anymore. My dad recently owned a liquor store in Corbin, which is where i work so I get first dibs on most of what we get if i want it. There is a 15 year in there somewhere, but there's also a 20 year pappy van winkle to the far right that you may have missed.

or that might be the one you said was the 12. I also have the 12 tucked back there somewhere. It's a good life.
