Shit brewed in Breckenridge isn't burbon either.
True, but it was tasty, and free.
I'll have to pick up a bottle once we close on the place in a week and change... I need an everyday'er, this stuff gets expensive.Quote:

Soooo, if I just had some Macallan 25 year anniversary scotch and didn't really like it, should I just give up on this stuff. Self admittedly, I am a gin man.
Yes completely give up on it. My mailing address PM'd !Quote:

Remember, I really hate this stuff, so I don't drink it unless it's supposedly worth drinking. So, out of curiosity at the liquor store the next day, I go look for it. The only 25 year bottle they had was $650. So this stuff is supposed to be good right?
Yeah, but it can be an acquired taste for many. $650 ? Serious bones for any liquid. I don't like anything I eat or drink enough to spend that kind of cash
Neither do my in-laws. They drink Evan Williams instead of Jack when they really don't have to, but they have nice friends, and it was a gift.
Seriously nice friends.
Yeah, no shit. Damn good friends.
On a side note, guroo, you should try Leopolds gin. So ridiculously good.

Got a bottle of this and just poured my first snort:

Honestly, it's... meh. Kinda wimpy. Buffalo Trace is waaaaaay better at the price. Might just get rid of this one by mixing.
That's why God made Ginger ale and limes.Quote:

Buffalo Trace is still on sale around here and I'm digging it.
Ordered a jim and ginger tonight... got a gin and ginger. Not cool.
all I know is that this is a sweet bottle

I've tried to like burbon but it all comes off as really kind of sickly sweet for me. Is it just not my thing or am I just drinking the wrong ones?..... I kind of hate scotch as well.
I disagree with Tipp that the Corner Creek is weak. I actually think it has a smoother finish than the Buffalo Trace.
Had some Van Winkle 10 last night. Amazing.
