It actually wasn't really export: he brought it back from holidays in Florida. Bourbon is extremely hard to find around here. The only one generally available is four roses, and according to me it doesn't even taste like bourbon.Wingman wrote:not claiming to be an expert, but yeah, that's good shit. glad we're exporting something other than i.o.u.'s.

at this point, i'll take it.Mr Boozificator wrote: It actually wasn't really export: he brought it back from holidays in Florida. Bourbon is extremely hard to find around here.
it's my understanding the word comes from bourbon co., ky (county seat: paris), which was so named in thanks for the bourbons' help against the brits in the american revolution. seems like you ought to be able to get it there.

If it's anything like the Wild Turkey 12 year old bourbon I got at Duty Free, I'm sure it's excellent.

Wonderful sweet stuff and complex; WT101 is a better value, but then so is bumvodka at $11.74/handle.

Re: Wild Turkey rarebreed.
back before it was the competition's lot to sell, i would have written you a sonnet on how amazing rare breed is. I would have waxed elegant on its subtlety despite its power. i would have told you that it is a fool who adds anything more than, if one must, one ice cube, to its tantalizing depth.
now that it is the competition, i will say but this. it's tasty, but it will give you herpes.

Re: Wild Turkey rarebreed.
Rare breed is awesome, if a bit overpriced.

Re: Wild Turkey rarebreed.
I'm certainly no expert, but Rare Breed was the best I'd had until I recently received some Willet Pot Still Reserve as a gift. I'm no Ivan or Big Casino with the bourbons, though, so take my advice with a small grape.
Buffalo Trace tastes very similar to Rare Breed, IMO, at almost half the price, so if that's ever available to you and you don't feel like shelling out the extra cash, try some B.T., I'm confident you'll like it.
