Good bourbon

Dogs and bourbon are great. Both my dogs love ice cubes, and get especially excited at the Makers Mark Ice Balls. Our first decided to take a sip of some Irish Whiskey a while back and hilarity ensued. The other tried out some Blantons, and she wasnt very impressed either. Now when I ask them if they want some liquor, they turn and run.

My dog loves whiskey, tequila, and cigar smoke. He is pretty awesome.

A friend brought down some Filibuster this weekend, which I tried for the first time. They make a bourbon and a rye, and they age it in both French and American oak. I loved the taste, and had hints of vanilla. Very smooth to drink, and reminded me of Makers Mark 46. You can apparently only get it around DC for now. I foresee that changing in the future though.

I had bourbon for the first time this weekend. It was love at first taste. I'm so sad it took me this long to discover how amazing it is.

And I just found my dad's xmas gift.....I'm going to get one or two of the tasting sets...anyone have any suggestions?

I'll likely pick up a couple of these sets as well. I would think about the Japaneese set. They really are doing some remarkable things over there, but getting people to buy them is challenging. This set may give you pops a taste of something good that he may not otherwise buy. The Sherry Monster set also looks good.

I was looking toward something along the lines of tastes he likes, just with rarer selections....I'd hate to pay so much for something he wouldn't like.

I know he likes bourbon and Irish Whiskey, was thinking of those, or one of the peaty ones (uber-peaty or light-peaty) to give him an idea of how that affects the taste.

Obviously with $30+ shipping and sets around 60 bucks I can't go too expensive...will probably pick one up for me too.

I have to ask where you are from? And how could you have been in Winston for 4 years without trying it at least once?
