[Michael LaPlante]

With so many bourbons being released in the market as bourbon has gained popularity, what are some of the brands you have tried and liked or disliked and why?

Some of my favorites are:
Woodford Reserve
Bulleit
Buffalo Trace
Makers Mark
Blantons
Angels Envy

I recently opened up a few bottles for my past birthday. Anyone have any questions about any of these?

 

[The Proprietary Molecule]

Willett Pot Still Reserve - Outstanding. Our favorite
Four Roses Single Barrel - Outstanding
Larceny - Great. Solid straight or in cocktails. A workhorse.
Widow Jane - Outstanding
Old Forrester 1870 - Tremendous
Booker's - Raw, pure and not for the faint of heart. I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner.

I happen to like Angel's Envy at this time. It is my most recent bourbon purchase.

As for myself, I love:
Old Forester (Original batch, and the Kingsman Edition)
Jack D (gentleman and honey for those cold nights)
Maker’s Mark
Woodford’s Reserve (Double Oak is outstanding)
Buffalo Trace

I want to try:
Blanton’s
Knob Creek
Mitcher’s
Henry McKenna

Not sure if you can make it out but it is a barrel strength. Very nice.
