Not a bourbon, but bourbon adjacent - I like Stranahan‘s Colorado Whiskey which my Colorado cousins insisted that I would like, even though I said I didn’t like brown liquor, and they were right. That led me to the Casamigos Añejo which is also not bourbon, but very similar flavor profile as the Stranahan‘s and makes me feel like a badass when I buy it.
My fave bourbon mixed drink I make at home is a good boozy 100 proof like Old Grandad, with fresh orange and lemon juices and rosemary simple syrup. Wiskey sour vibes, but w rosemary. Cheers! 🥃
A Bourbon that is fantastic and tastes like you spent way more than you did, so much so that it will carve out a permanent space in your liquor cabinet and your friends will ask about it - Early Times Bottled in Bond. (https://www.earlytimesbottledinbond.com/)
Blanton’s is ridiculously tasty. And yes, the bottle is also delightful. Plus! Cute horsey stopper! 😀
Have to disagree with Booker’s though. It has a crazy high alcohol content and is a bit too “burn-y” for me. But if you like it, nothing wrong with that.
You just reminded me of how much my late dad enjoyed Four Roses Small Batch. I think I need to get some before the holiday season ends.

I hope you and Jon enjoyed tasting.
Love me some Woodford Reserve!

You are just complete luminous light. So happy we could hug on Friday.
