Any bourbon drinkers here?
« on: June 26, 2006, 03:25:36 AM »
I just got a bottle of Noah's Mill 15 years old Kentucky from someone and I wonder if its any good.

If its good ill keep it, if its only so-so ill give it to someone as a gift.

Dont think i have ever had any bourbon before.

if it were me, i would try it and if i didnt like it, i would keep it around the house for guests who might like to try it.  it's always good to have a few good liquors around.  everyone has different tastes.

but that's just me.

i have read good things about that particular selection, so it's probably a good
model.

not a huge bourbon fan, but i've recently had the opportunity to sample some nice cognacs.  

yummy.

Dunno, never tried it myself.

To put it in context: its production and price make it analogous to a mid-level single malt (= a step above glenlivet). This isn't a bourbon I'd recomment mixing with anything. Sip it, try it with a splash of water, try it on the rocks, in that order, until you find it outstanding.

But yeah, I think you'll find it's a nice sip. At that level, it's hard to make bourbon that doesn't at least taste good.

Of course, if you don't like the brassy swagger of charred amurrican oak, you may be better off drinking whisky for young ladies, such as Canadian.

Bourbon isn't anything like cognac. It's more like a scotch, but with a bit of an edge. There isn't as much flavor variety with the bourbon, but that's mainly because they don't use freekin iodine in it. I never could understand the love for peety scotches. Different strokes.

Peety scotches are not good.. IMHO.

for example.. MaCallan is expensive and makes me want to gag.

Aberlour OTOH is smooth as the inside of a bikini model's thigh.

Bourbon is something that is meant to be sipped around with the Fellas while smoking cigars.


I love it, but I'm currently not rich enough to invest in scotch AND bourbon.  I have to pick one over the other.

Never heard of that particular brand. But if it's aged 15 years, it can't be that bad. :aok

Bah.  Ignore the people who say its for "sippin".  

Its great for gettin rip-roarin drunk too.  :)

It makes a great mixed drink with cola and ice, or using cola as a chaser if you want to get drunk really fast.  :aok

If you find you do not like it, you can always ship it to me, I'll be glad to give it a home.
