Hi

I like to treat myself to a nice bottle of whisky every now and again , last time I got myself Ardbeg 10 which I'm still yet to find something that can beat it in that price bracket.

I also got a bourbon Wild Turkey 101 which was ok , Ive been checking out reviews of the Knob Creek 9yo , which I think is a Jim Beam product.

Has anyone tried it and what do they think?

I don't plan on mixing Bourbon unless its the cheap stuff like JD as Knob Creek is slightly more expensive i would drink it neat or with a few cubes of ice.

thanks:)
 
Yeah I was thinking about Woodford Reserve as its a similar price , may try that next although I do have Monkey Shoulder to try as well as I've heard good things about that.

Makers Mark is another one but that seems like a more mass produced JD alternative.

cheers
 
By the way , me being a fairly newbie bourbon drinker ,how do you drink it?

I normally like any whisky neat or a bit of ice with Bourbon?

thanks
 
ah so many!

still I might as well try them all eventually.


On a side note I do sometimes like to mix with coke but only cheaper stuff like Jack Daniels or Jim Beam.

Out of them what would you say is best with cola? , want something that I can get my hands on easy down the supermarket

cheers
 
I'd say that choice is up to you. I tend to always drink my bourbon with a splash of cola - even the expensive stuff. For me, it's a flavour enhancer and not something that spoils the bourbon or should be drunk exclusively with the cheap stuff.

A decent cola helps though. And Fentimans is league's ahead of the competition on that front.

Think i will just get a bottle of JD for mixing as its only £15 , got my bottle of Knob Creek Bourbon , cant wait to try that.
