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.

: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)?
