George Dickell 12 yr old I got at Chateau Louis in Edm , best bourbon selection in Edm I think, also best Single Malt goto place. Ask for Adam

Dickel also makes a rye but I haven't cracked it yet.....

The Kirkland stuff is gooood. It is made by jim and it's 50%. A bit more of a bite to it than regular jim stuff,

Thanks! Know the place well, lived around there for years! Tried to drink myself from the back of the store to the front, failed!
Is the Dickle expensive?

Finally a thread I can contribute to! I like many others dislike Scotch, the peaty, earthy robust flavor is just to manly for me please note I am just a youngster. Bourbon however has become my weapon of choice. Recently I have been enjoying Eagle Rare 10 Year (I want to try the 18 year) and Mitchers Small Batch regularly. I have a special edition Bookers (I think it is 90proof or so) that I enjoy on occasion. I always have a bottle of Makers around as well.

Great thread.....I look forward to trying some of these. I am a Scotch and Craft beer fan but I am always open to trying new libations,

Whenever I think of bourbon it reminds me of a Robin William's quote, "If alcohol is a crutch the Jack Daniels is a @*$%ing wheelchair!"

Nope it's maybe $5 more than Beam or JD and it's a 12 yr

I have been trying to convince the Hublet that we should get a bottle to sip on while we watch "Justified", which takes place in Kentucky...provide some atmosphere! His nose gets all skrinkled up, so I guess I will have to try some by my own self. Maybe someone makes a little sampler pack??

Picked up a bottle of Buffalo Trace in Spruce Grove. Yet to try it. Will get a bottle of Dickle next time I hit the city. Store in Spruce has Dickle Rye, but not quite into rye!

Bullet Bourbon. Good stuff.

I quite like Bernheim, Blantons, Wyoming, Woodford Reserve and Basil Haydens. I've got a couple bottles which are taking a while to vanish, Knob Creek being one of them.

The Wyoming Whiskey is different for a bourbon, much sweeter with a bit of peat. If you can find it, it's worth the sip.

So, who drinks bourbon?

Was never a big fan of bourbon, until I found a brand at a Calgary Co-op liquor store that I just loved. Its called Rebel Yell. Unlike a lot of other bourbons, it goes down smooth.

Tried the Buffalo Trace last night. Excellent stuff!

Got a bottle of Costco bourbon today. A lot stronger/ harsher than Buffalo Trace, but overall pretty good! Would recommend it!

A friend gave me a bottle of Basil Hayden's - quite good!
