Members Loobs Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 I want a good bourbon, a good rum and a good vodka. Woodford Reserve is my go to bourbon, how about rum and vodka? I like Sailor Jerry for rum. Don't know much about Vodkas. Don't wanna spend over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Strat87 Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm not big on vodka but I recently got a bottle of belvedere that was pretty decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Loobs Posted November 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah, Kraken was on my list too. I'm not a huge vodka fan unless it's realllly smooth, but it's good to have for guests etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members renula Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 Rum? pft. Don Q or Bacardi. No contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tomf Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'd go for makers mark (my tastes aren't worth wasting the better stuff on), kraken, zubrowka, and a hendricks just to round out the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 Vodka = Chopin or Stoli Rum = Gosling Black Seal Bourbon = WL Weller Antique 107 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted November 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 Makers is good, but try Woodford Reserve. Zubrowka, had that before. That was nice. We could get a bottle of Hendricks but it's pretty expensive. I'd rather buy some nice beers with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mhuxtable Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 best vodka I've ever had: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NetStar Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 If you want really smooth, but don't want to pay a fortune; Finlandia. It's seriously one of the most neutral vodkas around and cheap at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jisatsu Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 You probably cant get it, but Crater Lake vodka is one of the smoothest vodkas around, and it's only $20 a bottle here. It's the only vodka I'll drink any more. As far as rum goes, I really like sailor Jerry and capt Morgans private reserve. Not a bourbon drinker, so no help there.

Members NetStar Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 No problem. I love talking about drinks and drinks making. The latest rabbit hole I've fallen down is Japanese whiskey! I like both MM and Woodford. They're a nice contrast to each other and it's easy to see why they're typically the most popular bourbons in decent bars.

Members Operator Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 Wild TurkeyKrakenKetel One This, honestly. Really good, affordable selections. If you decide to man up and get gin instead of vodka, get Broker's. It has a little bowler hat for a cap. It's cheap, and it's a very clean tasting gin that's mild on the juniper, if you're not into juniper. Also, if you want to get a scotch that's easy on the peat, Auchentoshan is spectacular.

Members Chugs Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 Appleton estate or Havana club 7 year old are my rum choices. Bushmill's Black Bush for whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NetStar Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 Anyone else tried that jim beam spin off - Red Stag? That stuff is absolute filth - couldn't give it away!Wait for Wetherspoon to pick that stuff up and they'll shift crates of it! Market appeal, it has it.Also, Ben. I can't recommend Fever Tree mixers enough. If you mix tonic, ginger beer, ale, or lemonade, you'll immediately appreciate the difference. I can't drink Scweppes and gin now and I naturally thought it was just a load of marketing rubbish. I was wrong.These, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members six acre lake Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 We only really keep the ambers at home. (Bourbon, Whiskey, Rye, Scotch) and the fixings to whip up manhattans as that is our cocktail of choice. We are diggin on these grapefruit bitters at the moment...

Members plaidbeer Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 Bourbon--Buffalo Trace or Rebel Yell Reserve (they're both under your limit and are fine for sipping)Rum--Sailor Jerry (you already know about this)Vodka--Stoli is the smoothest I've had. Absolut Mandarin is good with tonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
