Bourbon Taste Test This Weekend

 


Mrs. CW and I visited the oldest daughter.  My son in law likes his bourbon, so we had a taste test (the dog did not participate).

Multiple votes for Knob Creek, but the son in law preferred the Willet (far right), and he knows his bourbon.  Fun times.

  4. You're missing the best of all, Woodinville Bourbon from Woodinville Whiskey Co., WA. Last I was in N. CA it was available at Raley's.

  5. You know your kids will lie to you. Better retaste them yourself just in case.

  6. I was able to quit drinking alcohol in 2008. It has not touched my lips since then. With that said, participating in a Whiskey taste test sounds like a very good reason to jump off the wagon for an evening of fun.

    1. The Sonoma was quite different from the other three. Whether you like it or not is a matter, I suppose, of personal taste.

    1. After the first 5 or 6 shots you'll never notice the difference.

  10. As a native Kentuckian that has tasted all the Kentucky bourbons you show plus many more but still haven't had any Pappy Van Winkle, I like Wild Turkey. Then again, taste is subjective and I'm not a huge drinker.

  11. Eh. There are better choices. But I'm not so foolish as to name them, as they are in limited supply. A hint: the best are not from that state north of Tennessee, can't be called "bourbon", and immediately convert fans of that northern hooch with a single taste.
