Good bourbon

[tsywake]

What is a whiskey stone?

Non porous rocks you can freeze and put in your drink to chill the bourbon without watering it down.

Available where?

[TWDeac]

The internets and some liquor stores. The ones I have found are a tad expensive, though.

[DeacWatcher]

Think a place like Total Wine would have them?

[DeaconCav06]

Seriously, Evan William's and Red Stag make that list? No thank you.

[TWDeac]

I'd think so.

Yes, they do.

I posted this a while back, but I've been very happy with my Makers Mark Ice Balls. They take forever to melt (I can usually go through 3 glasses before it completely melts) and provides a little water to the glass without watering it down.

+1. Those are the way to go. I also posted them before, I have similar ones that I got from MOMA. They's tha bomb.

Holy shit. Those are awesome! I could even use brita water for them so that our terrible tap water doesn't taint the ice.

Woodford Reserve and Makers should have a spot in every bar, but both are better mixing bourbons than they are sipping bourbons, with Woodford being the choice of most mixologists these days.

I'm a single ice cube fan (ice sphere if possible) with most bourbons. I was given a rare bottle of Willet for my birthday a year with a hefty proof, around 120. First time I tried it neat it was just too strong to really appreciate. Give it an ice cube and 5 minutes and it's incredibly good.

Nice advice DC. I'll have to try that. I want to get some of these ice balls.

Barrel proof is soooo tasty straight

I have to share this with you guys. Its from a patient we did yesterday.

He initially experienced 8/10 substernal chest pain with radiated to his bilateral shoulders and chin. This was associated with nausea and diaphoresis. His friends initially asked to take him to the hospital, however he refused and requested to go to the nearby liquor store. After having no relief taking a shot of bourbon, he then agreed to present to the ED.
