Bourbon Drinkers of the Huddle


CharlotteBeer.com

Recommended Posts

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 know it was obvious and I know the ref is to blame! But KB is a bum and my original post was about the situation in its entirety. You are right, he did touch him and that's why I said lay down on him to make it obvious. But KB did everything half assed and that is why he had less than a five year career. But the way Cam supported that kid and the way he ended up acting in the end is a dark spot on the franchise. It just doesn't sit well with me and never will. He literally left here talking about ball placement from a league MVP. 
    • The Lee Hunter interview with Sheena Quick almost murdered me. That man said he had a 5 years old and a 2 munt year old!! 😂 and all of a sudden I couldn’t breathe!!
    • DLine has to be 50-79 or 90-99. So it’s likely to stay 92 over 62 or 52. Scourton and Phillips can wear a poo ton of numbers as “linebackers”, but the war daddy’s are still pretty limited.
