fair enough. For the most part I agree (single malt > blended), but I have a special place in my heart for blue label...

MM seems to make my friends (and myself) a bit stupier than normal. It's a lot of fun, in the right atmosphere. :D

Hirsch. Good luck finding it, but it's head and shoulders better than anything else out there.

I only drink JB when it's $2 JB&Coke nights. I felt bad about drinking it over one of the drinks I like better, but 5-6 drinks in I felt a hell of a lot better. :D

I just bought a fifth of Knob Creek. I usually put my bourbon/whiskey in the freezer so it's already cold instead of melting the ice when I mix with Coke. Do you recommend this with Knob Creek? Also do you sip it or mix it?
BTW, the bottle I got has a copper (real metal) tag on it that has engraved "Bottled Exclusively for Frugal MacDoogal's Wine & Liquor Warehouse" with Fred Knob's engraved sig. Do they do this for most larger liquor stores?
Ever tried any other in the "The Small Batch Bourbon Collection" (Baker's, Basil Hayden's, Booker's)? I'm sure you know the father of Knob Creek's master distiller used to be the master distiller of Jim Beam.

Maker's Mark, BTW. :D
:beer:

I'd rather have JD (even thought I know it's only a whiskey....) to makers mark almost any day.... <shrug>
Maker's Mark is whiskey too, 'Bourbon Whiskey'. Jack Daniels is 'Sour Mash Whiskey' (referring to the processes. Aren't they about the same thing, just that bourbon is made in Kentucky? And from the JD website, "Every bourbon and Tennessee whiskey is made using the sour mash process.".


Anyone tried any of these (besides the staples)?

Why not invest the $ in a good Scotch? I'm not partial to Bourbon, bu a single malt aged whiskey is a thing to cherish (plans on stealing some of my mother-in-law's stash from her trip to Scotland tomorrow).

Jim Beam Black is a close second.
Yeah my favorite wiskey besides Gentlemen Jack and Single Barrel is Jim Beam Black.

No recommendations on how to drink Knob Creek?

When you're driving down the highway at night
And you're feelin' that wild turkey's bite
Don't give Johnny Walker a ride
Cause Jack Black is right by your side
You might get taken to the jailhouse and find
You've been arrested for driving while blind

Now just the other night with nothin' to do
We broke a case of proof 102
And started itchin' for that wonderful feel
Of rollin' in an automobile
You could say we was out of our mind
And let me tell you we were flyin' while blind

Then they had us up against the wall
Hey it's only blood grain alcohol
And there ain't no cause for alarm
We ain't out to do nobody no harm
How could anyone be so unkind
To arrest a man for drivin' while blind
