Bourbon Drinkers of the Huddle

I'll be going to the Beer, Bourbon and Barbecue festival in Charlotte next weekend. I'm a big beer enthusiast, and while there are some good beers on the drink menu, overall the beer list is not that impressive.

That's okay, though, as I hope to get out of my comfort zone and try a lot of the bourbons. Now, I know a lot about beer but very little about bourbons. Can some of you bourbon guys look over this drink menu and let me know some of the "must trys"? I'll probably try as many as possible, but I want to make sure I hit the better ones before they are gone.

Also, if any of these are particularly good "budget bourbons," I'd like to know that as well. I want to get into bourbon a bit more without breaking the bank, but I also don't want to drink crap. I've heard good things about Buffalo Trace, and I recognize some of the more popular names on the list (Knob Creek, Jim Beam, Evan Williams) but I don't know if I'm getting the equivalent of a Budweiser in a bourbon.

Thanks guys!

Knob Creek- Pretty smooth, not much of a kick at the end. Kind of a floral taste.

1792 Ridgemont Reserve- My personal favorite of that list

Bookers- Very strong for Whisky at 64.2% alcohol. I have a bottle of my own, and it takes a man to drink it straight

Basil Haydens- Small batch, related to Knob Creek and Bookers

      I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

      By 45catfan · Posted

      So we cut him if we don't give him the option?  I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.

      I didn't say do nothing if we don't draft one in the 1st and I"m not counting on a FA to magically become a franchise QB. But signing a FA to be our starter for the year and then re-address the next offseason would be FAR better than reaching on the wrong QB in the 1st this offseason. Feeling we HAVE to find our long term solution just because we need a new QB is how we got into this mess.  We thought Two Gloves would be at worst an average level QB for a few years, that didn't happen, so we went out and traded for Darnold.  That didn't work so we went out and traded for Baker, that didn't work so we went out and traded up to get Bryce. Our last 4 QB moves were all trying to force a solution, none of them worked out, and we're still trying to find Cam's replacement all these years later.  We'd just have been better off spending a year or two building up the rest of the team and going year to year on FA QB's while doing so.  I get it, it will be frustrating to deal with, but then when you find that actual long term solution, they plug right into an already built out roster and you're ready to contend immediately.

      Hornets vs Wizards 10/26 Game Thread

      Great win, should be 3-0 but I'll take 2-1. LaMelo is an MVP caliber player, period.   This is looking like an incredible draft so far. Sion James looking like the exact type of role player that all contending teams need to have, absolute steal in the 2nd. Kalk is a work in progress and I question how much upside he has but he's already been a considerable upgrade at C for us compared to the last several years (outside of healthy Mark which of course was rare).   Really seems like new ownership/front office has change the culture here significantly. Every guy looks bought in now.
