The Dean Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Surprised to see no mention of Basil Hayden's here. Now that's smooth. Very good. But someone already mentioned it: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/123906-lets-talk-bourbon/page__view__findpost__p__2046854 Also, when funds are low, I will pick up either Evan Williams 90 or Ezra Brooks. Both deliver good value, and good taste. I was at the very local liquor store today, and there were no good sales on anything interesting. So because I am very broke, I picked up a bottle of Ezra Brooks 90 proof (1.75, $19.99). I tell you, it's tasty stuff for "everyday bourbon". Also noticed Evan Williams Black is now 86 proof. I wonder when that happened? I guess it's been a while since I last bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not but almost picked up a bottle the other day to try it. i don't think it's worth the price. bought some of george dickel's best stuff (at least for my virginia abc store- white label i think) for thanksgiving weekend with the extended family and it was gone very quickly. the little that i had was very good.

The if by the "white label", you mean George Dickel #12, it is very good whisky (spelled without the "e" actually, like Scotch). 90 proof, aged for a decent amount of time. It is my standard go-to booze, when I am at my bar. But you may mean George Dickel Barrel Select, which also has a lighter label, and is a bit pricier. it is 86 proof.
