What's your favorite drinking whiskey? Not shooter or mixer

[Lil'John]

Title basically states it.

I'm looking for a good whiskey to drink without ice, shooting, or as a mixer.

My current go to is Woodford Double Oak at about $50 for 750ml(~2 years ago). I'm looking for something better and if it costs a bit more, so be it.

What do you got?

 

[Murse]

Either wild turkey American honey or fireball.

 

[Possum]

Wyoming whiskey outrider is the best I have ever had. That said it can be hard to find. I usually just drink bullet bourbon.

 

[Motorcharge]

Booker's

 

[Stix]

Pendleton

 

[Jeep Ride]

Don't drink and drive you might hit a bump and spill your drink.

 

[Shortthenlong]

Makers Mark.

I used to do Woodford Reserve but found it too variable bottle to bottle

 

[InDaRed2]

Woodford is my favorite. Had one bottle that was weird but I think I picked up the rye without noticing and was a noob back then.

Brothers bond is really good for the price too. Picked up their single barrel and it's delicious.

The one bottle of eagle rare I had was good to but too hard to find around here and expensive when you can.

Bulleit Rye: cheap, every where, consistent.

1792 is $28 and my go to sipping. I switch it up and drink all the big names as well.

 

[Clb]

Bourbon.
Any Pappys
4 roses
Makers # batch
Buffalo trace
Most small batch offerings work.
Jefferson's reserve
angels' envy


I'll be back to add some as I remember em.

I’ll catch shit for saying this, but it’s a good price point, it’s consistent, it’s available, and it’s great for my taste buds……Makers Mark

 

[AK_F250]

Makers mark has always been my go to, straight, on the rocks or with diet.

Kentucky Owl. Been sipping on this one lately:

 

[Wheelin66bronco]

Garrison Brothers
Bib and Tucker

 

[Jakey_Recline]

Breckenridge, Stranahan's, Eagle Rare, Makers 46.

 

[M92PV4U]

The wet kind.

I live in Bourbon central and find Very Old Bartons 80 to be best drinking day in day out. Woodford Reserve is very nice. Buffalo Trace is good too.

 

[FleshEater]

I can’t do whiskey/hard stuff anymore. Burns my gut for days. From 21-22 I drank 110 bottles of Rebel Yell.

But I really like Jack Daniels Single Barrel. I’m not fancy, and didn’t realize whiskey drinkers had such sophisticated palettes.

 

[Gunwalls_Buckthorne]

Costco brand will surprise you…

 

[ridenby]

Reading through it seems most are using price as an indicator of "good". Smooth, to me, is in lower proof.

 

[DRTDEVL]

Evan Williams Bottled-In-Bond 100 proof is my daily, at $29 for 1.75L. I also really think Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage is a way better sipping whiskey than its price point in the mid-$20s for 750ml.

 

[ThePanzerFuhrer]

Four roses

I think smooth is in the drinker.

I was drinking one night with a guy who thought he was a cowboy. I poured a couple fingers worth of Single Barrel and sipped it. He thought it tasted like straight gasoline.

My go to's are Canadian Club 12 year which is shockingly good:

And Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve:

I've made a point of trying a new whiskey every time I go to the store for a new bottle, the last two kinda sucked though lol one was the wayne gretzky one, it's okish, the other was some single barrel I can't remember the name but not pleasant.

 

[JeepinPete]

Fan of Crown Royal Apple myself.

Gentlemen Jack is my current favorite for "smooth"
