Bourbon Collectors??
 

My husband is wondering if there is a bourbon collectors' club in TV. Or, if there are others who might like to get together and learn about high end bourbons.

I would be interested and I know my son would as well

Pappy Van Winkle is all you need for high end. They have it at Burns in Tampa and only $450 a shot for the 25 year old.

Kentucky Derby Woodford Reserve Year 2002? Looking...
 

We are looking for 2002 Kentucky Derby Woodford Reserve, two of them actually with tags unopened. If anyone has a bottle they want to sell, please let me know. 352 391 0899

So far my tastes have taken me to Bullet, Woodruff Reserve, Russells Reserve, Makers Mark and Jim Beam.

I hear that 4 Roses Small Batch Bourbon is something I should try....has anyone indulged??

Love to try Pappy!

Last fall we did a blind taste test with 6 people and six different types of bourbon. The bourbons ranged from high end top shelf to some cheaper stuff. The clear cut winners were the Costco brand and Makers Mark. The more expensive stuff did not score high by most tasters. Never tried Pappy, but I am skeptical that anything can be worth over $400 per shot? I must say that after tasting a couple of bourbons, it is hard to cleanse the pallet and get a true taste of the remaining brands.

Some find it hard to walk.:pray:

Pappy's at $400 per shot or even a bottle is out of my league. If that is what this group is about, it’s not for me. I drink Makers Mark, Buffalo Trace, Angels Envy, Eagle Rare and Blantons. That’s my price range. Let me know if this is still for me. I have lots of others, but those are my favorites

I have a bottle of George T. Stagg 2003 that I am saving.

Whats the special Occasion your waiting for??

For me I enjoy to open a nice bourbon with people that also enjoy and appreciate the taste! Every once in awhile just to try something different myself

The last bottle of the 3-bottle case has turned into an investment. What will you give me for it so that you can share it with your friends?

great idea for a club

Bourbon Tasting vs Collecting ?
 

I'd be interested in a periodic tasting get together .. I'm past the delayed gratification stage.

You Csn't Make It Up
 

With all of the problems with drinking in the villages and the numerous Al Non meetings for the families of drunks that have brought troubles to their families we are advertising for a club to organize a group to add more drunks to the list. It is one thing to decide to drink but to try to extend the family of drunks just begs the question. Some may want to just attend, (there are lists of when they meet) an al non meeting and hear the terrible family life of these people and then decide to set up an organized group to extend the harm to the families.:rant-rave:

Sounds like a club for social drinking. Not to worry.


social drinker
noun
a person who drinks alcoholic beverages usually in the company of others and is in control of his or her drinking

I am trying to find the right words to respond to this thoughtless post, but he/she must be an extremely righteous person to impose his/her pious values on people she knows nothing about, and more so to allege all people associated with this post "will extend the family of drunks" is absolutely uncalled for. If you knew about the BOURBON mentioned in this post....this is sipping bourbon and can be quite expensive...you do not indulge heavily in this stuff. It is to be savored. As Chi Town said it would be a social group much different than most neighborhood wine tastings or community events where people BYOB. I fully recognize that Al Non serves a good purpose, but you should not try to "save everyone" from virtues or vices (perfectly legal and that responsible people enjoy) but they simply do not conform with your ideologies..

Amen.

Jefferson;s Ocean $99-$120

Are you personally involved in the numerous AA meetings. Those attending are certainly not spending $100 and up for just a shot of bourbon

Our youngest belonged to a bourbon club. Once a month they meet, discuss, and savor a rare blend. Buy in for the club is $1000. He is in Louisville, when he comes down OP I will ask if he would share some of his tasting notes.

I have been sober for more than 28 years and this may very well be the most ridiculous statement I have ever read.

Here is a nice list of bourbon reviews

" The Temperance League " post aside, whoever might have posted same, no doubt had reason to do so, but it is terribly unfair to most of us, can we expand the club to include top of the line rye drinkers ? Obviously, we also have to discriminate, so let's keep the single malt Scotch drinkers out. Just trying to lighten the mood folks, no harm intended.

LMAO at the "Temperance League" reference. :1rotfl:

I like your choices. Bulleit is my favorite. The 4 Roses Small Batch is excellent. Much better than the 4R Yellow. Of course, it costs more :)

Love it!!

How about the Everclear aficionados? May we apply?

For me at least, you need to EXPLAIN yourself!!

We use Everclear in the fall up north to mix with crushed apples and some cinnamon and nutmeg and let it age in mason jars. After a few months we filter it and the result is the most awesome "apple pie" sipping drink. Everclear on its own is hard to take, as almost pure grain alcohol is kind of nasty, unless you need something to start a fire with. LOL

:coolsmiley:

Everclear (alcohol - Wikipedia)

Are you from the Lynchburg Va Area??? Area is big on Bourbon, Mason jars and some "moon" .

When I was in college a very good friend and fraternity brother took a shot of Everclear every evening before dinner at the fraternity house. It must have done a lot for him as he ended up a professor at the school of medicine at a top Ivy League university and holds over a billion dollars worth of patents. Cheers!
