Tonight Stewart (tech-ninja) and I herfed and we also had quite a few good bourbons. We started with Baker's the Elijah Craig 18 at the bar. Then back on the deck I had Elijah 12 and now I'm finishing with some George T. Stagg he graciously picked up for me. It has been a great bourbon and herfing night!

Just got back from The Party Source. Picked up Elijah Craig 18, Russell's Reserve Rye, and a bottle of Reyka vodka. I know this is a bourbon thread, and I started it, lol, but if any of you enjoy the occasional vodka martini or vodka straight up or the wife enjoys vodka, Reyka is THE vodka to get. It's hands down the BEST vodka I've had to date. It's so smooth it's scary. Anyways, I'm off to have a cigar and some Russell's Rye.

The one distilled/filtered in Volcanic Rock i believe?
Never tried it, looks decent enough and the price isn't extremely far off :-)

But me.... Def not a Vodka Fan haha, unless its cheap and mixed in Mtn.Dew ( Which i havent done in years lol)
[Reply]

Yep, that's the one Guitarman, great stuff to drink straight up.

A few of the smoothest, easy drinking bourbons I know of are:

Elmer T Lee 90 proof
Crown Royal Special Reserve 80 proof
Black Bush 80 proof
Early Times 80 proof

Early Times is often overlooked because it's so cheap but it is truly a mellow, easy drinking bourbon.
[Reply]

:-) will look into those :-)
[Reply]

I think my Grandpa drank Early Times. I remember seeing bottles of that and Kesslers. :-)
[Reply]

For me

Makers Mark
Woodford Reserve
Old Weller
Wild Turkey
Elijah Craig 18

[Reply]

Old Weller...the worlds most underated bourbon! mmmm
[Reply]
