Greetings,
I started drinking scotch, then moved on to making Old Fashions with bourbon, and then Manhattans with bourbon, and for about the last year, I have been just drinking bourbon straight. As much as I like Old fashions and Manhattans, drinking it straight is what I enjoy the most.
Out of these 4 bourbons what should I buy based on what I like below.
Jim Beam Black $18
Fighting Cock $16
Larceny $22 (if all were same price I probably buy this from reviews but it is more than I like to spend)
4 Roses yellow bottle for $15
I am not great at picking out what notes I like and don't like but these are the bottles I have finished since drinking straight.
1-5 star scale 5 being the highest
Buffalo Trace Special single barrel for Total wine ****
Evan Williams Black**
Evan Williams 1783 *****
Evan Williams Single Barrel ****
Sure Shot ($10 at total wine. not sure name) *
Olde Grande Dad 86 proof **
Old Weller Special Reserve ****
Old Crow * Great for mixing though
Johnny Walker Black ** Not a bourbon though
I have had a few other Bourbons but that was when I mixed them so they don't count.
