If I were you, I would stop mixing the two and drinking it immediately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently acquired a bottle ... do people like it neat? On rocks? Or is it mainly a bourbon for mixing? Jack or Jim mixed coke and a lime is my typical cocktail drink order. Although Me and Jim go way back to high school, I will admit I am also new to the Bourbon world outside of that. I am looking to get into trying some bourbons that are good to drink straight. I don't usually like things neat so any suggestions that go well on the rocks would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will start with those as I have also seen them in my local liquor store. I live in the middle of no where so selection can be an issue.

I think I will start with those as I have also seen them in my local liquor store. I live in the middle of no where so selection can be an issue. You’re welcome. Maker’s is a wheat bourbon (sweeter), while the others are rye bourbons (spicier). While I recommend Knob Creek, In your case I would go with the Four Roses Small Batch, and Maker’s. If you can’t find the FR Small Batch, look for it’s cheaper cousin, Four Roses (Yellow Label). If your house water is chlorinated or contains iron, it will negatively affect the taste of the 🥃..buy a bag of ice in a store. Enjoy!

In a statement, the company said its employees "worked quickly to contain the spill" Wednesday, with none of the new runoff entering any waterways.

Advantages would be being able to organize different brands and distilleries into separate conversations while still being in a singular place instead of sorting through all the pages this could build up to find that one brand that one person mentioned four months ago. I am going to send out some invitations to some of you that have been posting on this thread but I will most likely miss some and I apologize.
